  • Hello, August!

    Wound down the busy and fun-filled month of July with easy breezy skies and happy, happy clouds.  Hello, August! Let’s DO this!

  • Four Fun-Filled Organizers +1

    If you know me or my work by now, you know I enjoy making things that are slightly different. Things that maintain a useful element but also include some sort of twist or unexpected surprise.  Those are the types of things I inherently gravitate towards and get inspired by, so when left to my own…

  • “Heartbeat Brooklyn”: 11 Years Old!

    Happy 2015! This year marks 11 years since my two murals went up on 12th Street and 2nd Avenue in Brooklyn. Up until now, I hadn’t taken my kids to go see them because it wouldn’t really have meant all that much to them, but now that they’re nearly 4 and 6.5 years old, I…

  • WIP Glimpse

    Here’s a tiny glimpse of something I’ve been working on recently! A pretty epic undertaking that kept ballooning…getting bigger and bigger with more detail and more detail… It was a lot of work but totally fun to make; I’ll show you it in it’s finished form once it’s ready! 🙂

  • Road Trip America!

    I went completely overboard on a recent design. The task? Illustrating the theme of of “Highways and Byways”. My solution was to research and depict at least one roadside attraction or monument for each state in the contiguous USA.  And that slowly ballooned into a giant task.

  • City-Sanctioned Graffiti!

    I was recently researching things about Grand Central Terminal and came across this a-w-e-s-o-m-e bit of history.  From the  NY Daily News Archives, this 1961 photo shows a subway poster that was put up throughout Grand Central Terminal by the Transit Authority Panel to help passengers while away the time waiting for trains.
