process gif

I took a couple photos while I was working on the portrait of Rachel Crawford and made this little process gif with them.

You can see that this portrait came a loooong way from the first marks laid down. Here is the final image for comparison.

big painting project

I just completed a big painting project. I painted a wall in our living room red!

Here’s the before:

haha, i caught my dude taking a nap!

And here is after:

The color is “neon red” by Benjamin Moore. How’s that for a jolt of color?

My lack of recent updates can be attributed to a number of exciting things that I’ll be able to show you soon. Stay tuned!

create’s 3-year anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to me, friends! As of today I’ve been sharing my art and other works with you for 3 years.

This year I’ve already begun working on bigger (and sometimes secret) projects and I can’t wait to share those with you as well!

Thank you for tuning in.

Rachel Crawford of Made Weekly

I completed a new portrait of my friend and collaborator, Rachel Crawford. We recently worked on two Made Weekly asparagus videos (1 and 2) together.

Here she is in technicolor glory!

I was experimenting with new media and think I’ve found something to expand on.

I think I’ve also begun a series of ladies on the web. It’s not a series until there are 3, right? The first was Joanna Goddard, Rachel is second and I’m keeping the third a secret for now. Stay tuned!

stop-mo round up XII – Illy Vine posts

Today’s stop-motion round-up  is entirely videos created by my talented friends Andy and Anthony for Illy using the Vine app.

Are you guys on Vine? I joined the other night but haven’t posted anything yet. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t support Vine videos yet so you’ll have to click the images below to see the action.

I got to watch the making of this next one.

Feel like going for a cup of coffee yet?

new food project – MadeWeekly tumblr video!

Rachel Crawford of the lovely MadeWeekly food tumblr decided to make the leap into video and contacted me to make some art for her project. I was thrilled to be included and it turned out wonderfully.

Shaved Asparagus Salad

Is it just me or is she sexily shaving that asparagus?

You can see a behind-the-scenes picture of the shooting process here.

And for a double whammy of exciting news, my artwork was recently featured on the A.I. Friedman tumblr!

Thanks for the shout, guys!

new food project – sneak peek

Hello friends! I’ve embarked on a new and exciting food project. Here are a few sneaky snaps to tempt you until I can post the final product.

Only 1.5 weeks until all is revealed!

completed embroidery project

This weekend I had time to finish the embroidery project that I started last month. I still need to frame it, but here it is on the hoop!

Here are a few detail shots of the stitches.

I don’t think I’ll be giving up my pen for a needle but as far as embroidery as a form of illustration goes, I like it.

I really, really like it.

The West

Please take a moment to feast your eyes on the work of my dear and talented friend, Dmitri Von Klein.

Gorgeous, right?

Dmitri has just begun a Kickstarter campaign to make more beautiful photography. Please click here for details on his project and how to contribute.

Here is a picture I took of him with his baby, the Graflex.
