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.

UPDATE: Thanks for the great response, everyone! A few editions sold out rather quickly, but I will be restocking them soon, along w/ a couple new ones. Please email me if you’d like to be put on the list: kiersten {at} youfail {dot} com Thanks!
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.

I recently finished up a logo for the film production company, Lantern Fish Media. I wanted to try to get away from the typical image of a lantern fish, and instead play with the idea of incorporating an actual lantern with a stylized fish.
Below is the finished logo, followed by some initial sketches and crest options.



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.

I was recently asked to create a Limited Edition poster for My Morning Jacket’s show at White River State Park with special guest, Neko Case in Indianapolis, IN on August 7th. All posters will be silkscreened, numbered, and sold on tour.

UPDATE: August Issue of Spin, now out!

It’s been a bit of a crazy couple of weeks, where I’ve been going (literally) days at a time without ever leaving my studio. I’ve discovered it’s amazing what one will eat in order to continue day to day without having to actually leave the house to go grocery shopping..
Anyway, I recently did an illo for Spin Magazine’s review of Stephen Malkmus’ new album produced by Beck. A truly 90′s wet dream of a job for me. Thought it might be fun to try and document the process I go through for a typical editorial job.. Apologies for some of the crappy photos.
Initial ideas & chosen sketch:

Final illo!

I had this sketch for this posted a while ago, but then remembered that I never posted photos of the finished Coach bag from the event..

I was so honored to be contacted by ELLE Girl Korea for a feature in their December issue. I answered a few questions for them, but I’m not quite sure what they ended up using, since I don’t read Korean. :) It still makes my inner teenager squeal with joy though. I have to say, the issue really is beautiful.. the photography is incredible!

Anyone read Korean?

UPDATE: A lovely reader translated this for me in the comments below.. I think the text going from English to Korean back to English, a few things got lost in translation, but I think you can get the gist of it.
I’ve recently been doing small illustrations for a style column (a Geek style column to be exact), over at TheNextWeb. So now that it’s Fall, I thought this might be helpful to all of you style challenged, hat wearers out there. Click to enlarge.

I just added a few new prints to the sale I’m having on my Etsy site!

The GIVEAWAY:
I would also like to announce a special giveaway I am doing as a way to thank everyone for their wonderful support of this series as well as the overwhelming response to my ‘save.my.hand’ SALE.
I will be giving away one of the original paintings I did for Paper Magazine to a randomly selected fan of the series! Everyone who purchases a set of prints between now and July 31st will have their name put into the mix that I will be selecting from. I will post the winner on my blog on August 1st.
So excited about this. xo
