Hello-o-o-o Fine People of the World!
I hope you’re all enjoying this last month of summer, unless you’re in Australia and the like, in which case I hope winter has been kind to you!
I’ve got three, count ‘em, THREE rapid-fire SK News Flashes to catch you up to speed, so without further delay, let’s cut to the chase:
July saw the debut of my new temporary tattoo collection Off the Bias, featuring 34 original art and craft-themed designs in a rainbow spectrum with multi-color metallic accents which I’m personally especially in love with! Plus, my face is on the packaging cover, so it’s like you get you very own miniature Tiger Beat poster of me as a bonus! Hello, score!
Debuting this Fall 2016 (and in stores January 2017), I’ve teamed up with the amazing Japanese company, Lecien Fabrics, to bring you my brand new fabric collection, Geogram. This collection consists of 5 geometric designs: Puzzle, Trilateral, Oblique, Missive, and Code. My goal was to create a collection that would give makers ALL. THE. OPTIONS. so these designs are specifically geared to all ages and genders! They play nicely in both small swatches and large swaths (they’ll be available in precuts too!) They offer multidirectional usage in a crazy, festive 30-color rainbow-rific range of HAPPINESS! Plus, their geometric origins please the heck out of my nerdy roots.
And finally— this is HOT, HOT, HOT off the presses as of THIS WEEK, fine people— I made the cover of US Weekly magazine! QUITE LITERALLY, FOLKS! This week’s issue offers 5 full-page coloring book illustrations created by yours truly. If you are a subscription holder, you’d have gotten the luscious 4-page cover wrap version (top image) delivered right to your mailbox; if you get your gossip fix off the newsstand, you’d have gotten the 2-page interior front cover version (middle image)! Plus, I also created this fun, interactive version that you can play around with on whatever smart or not-so-smart device you choose. This was such a great project to work on and I’m SO excited to finally get to share it with everyone (Fun Fact: Us Weekly has a per issue audience of 12.4MM and weekly per issue circulation of 1,963,237)! So you can find ME, out on newsstands NOW-W-W-W!!
Happy August!!
