A few months back I worked in collaboration with the amazing Chinese fashion/lifestyle magazine, Little Thing, to do an issue based on the theme, twins. The entire issue was dedicated to all things in two, from the fashion spreads, to the artwork, to the products featured. I just received a copy yesterday and even though I can’t read it, it really looks incredible (I mean, there’s even a popup feature.. eeeeep!).
So honored to work with such a great magazine.

Can’t wait for this one, coming up on March 9th at Gallery 1988 Melrose. Over 100 artists depicting over 100 stand up comedians and Weird Al hosting should make for an awesome time. I’ll be posting my pieces (all 8) on one of my favorite comedians of all time, Mitch Hedberg, in a couple of days.. Stay tuned!

So excited to finally have these iPhone covers available for sale! All are the Barely There Slim Case style from Casemate and are compatible with 4 / 4S iPhones.
This is sort of a test run, so there’s currently a very limited number of each. Please email me if you have any questions, or are interested in purchasing one in particular.

That’s right, after literally years of me saying I needed to update my site, it’s FINALLY done! For the first time (I think ever) my work is somewhat organized into categories instead of being all over the place. With the help of my brother and sister-in-law, I was finally able to learn how to update it myself, which will come in handy for new work and news on upcoming shows, projects, etc.
If it weren’t 10am, I call for a little whiskey to celebrate. Yay!

I did a fun little illustration for Sunday’s cover of the Boston Globe Book Review section for Penelope Lively’s new book, How It All Began. The premise of the book is how one act of violence on the streets of London leads to major changes in the lives of 7 people. Special thanks to Jane Martin.

My original mask is now for sale HERE
After a couple years in a row of making some of my favorite costumes, this year for Halloween my friend & I went as the aliens from John Carpenter’s They Live. We constructed the faces from masks we bought at a craft store, and my husband dressed up as the hero, played by Rowdy Roddy Piper.
“I’ve come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubblegum.”
Want to see how to create one step-by-step? Check out my detailed instructions HERE.
just call me Formaldehyde Face

I am so psyched to be included in the Bill Murray tribute show, Please Post Bills, opening at Gallery 1988 on November 3rd. No surprise, I’m a huge fan of almost everything this man has done in his long & successful career, but I just couldn’t resist going for the obvious favorite, Ghostbusters. Like most kids of the 80′s, I’ve seen this movie probably 100 times, and can recite it on cue.
My piece is actually 2 individual paintings, a before and after of Dr. Peter Venkman getting slimed for the first time.

A few weeks ago a dear friend was married at a lovely wedding in Toronto. Since she has amazing taste, a sharp eye, and a house full of pretty things, I didn’t dare try to shop for her! Instead, I decided to do a tiny little painting of a sketch I once did that I thought represented love and starting a life together.
The only problem with this one was the double layer of resin I pored, which seemed to get splotchy in some areas.. I’m hoping that it evens out over time!

Well I meant to post these a few weeks ago, but things got a bit busy and I just now remembered!
I recently took a much needed break from NYC and headed to Chicago to visit my family, and then went on to LA with my sister for the Crazy 4 Cult opening and book signing at Gallery 1988. It was so much fun! Here’s a few of my favorite pics..
Thanks for everyone who came out to the book signing, it was great to meet you!

UPDATE: These pieces are now available individually or as a set on my Etsy shop!
It’s been top secret up until now, but the opening night of SUPER iam8bit has finally been released & it’s coming up really soon! If you live in LA, clear your calenders for Thursday, August 11th from 7-11pm, because this show is gonna be HUGE. Over 100 artists basing pieces on old-school video games, 4,500 sq/ft, food trucks, and music performances should make for an amazing time.
I’ve posted a sneak peek of my pieces previously, but I can now finally reveal all in the set of my A Boy And His Blob inspired paintings:

Once again, I am so excited to be participating in another great Gallery 1988 show! Opening Friday, July 29th, at their Venice location, I Know You Art, But What am I? is a tribute to the amazing Pee-Wee Herman, and should be beyond good.
I based my piece on the first of many scenes from Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure that truly creeped me out. Pee-Wee chains his bike up to an animatronic clown and goes shopping, but when he returns it’s been stolen, and the clown is looking twice as scary..
