The Paper Magazine series that features the 10 fashion illustrations I created for the magazine between 2008-2009 are going to be available soon in the form of Limited Edition prints! (A very-special-top-secret-surprise goody is also going to be given away with one of the sets so please stay tuned for details..)

Please contact me with any questions or to be put on the list @ kiersten@youfail.com
I was very excited to receive the news yesterday that I was selected for the American Illustration 28 Annual! I’m very honored to appear for the 5th time (wow, I’m getting old!) in the annual that throws the BEST damn party in town.. especially among such dear friends (and strangely, ALL former roomies) Courtney Wotherspoon, Evah Fan, and Andrew Degraff. Below are the champs that made it..


The last in the year-long series of fashion illustrations for Paper Magazine!
I’m looking at doing a limited run of prints of the series, so if you are interested, please email me at kiersten@youfail.com.. more info coming soon! April issue on stands today.

I’m been working on a large painting (well what seems large to me anyway) for the last few weeks, so I thought it might be a good time to break out some recent (well, relatively) editorial work.. since sometimes it can be different than my gallery work.
