MAKINGOODESIGN celebrates NYC organizations using design for social impact. I had a blast illustrating notebook covers at their 2nd annual MAKINGOODESIGN Award Celebration this past May.

Here are some pics from the event.

One of the few moments I wasn’t hunched over sketchbook covers!

I was so busy I barely took any pictures of the covers I drew but here are the few snaps that I managed to take.

 

MAKINGOODESIGN is a cool organization and I had a great time being a part of their event.

If you live in New York and you haven’t been yet, GO! The space is beautiful and shuffleboard is more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Underground BBQ Challenge

July 17, 2014

Now that the episode has aired I can finally share this!

Last November my talented (and gorgeous, HELLO) friend Becky was selected to participate in the first ever episode of Underground BBQ Challenge, hosted by Chef G. Garvin.

This is Becky

With only a theme, a location and $1000, she and a team of 3 of her most reliable dudes threw a party with live entertainment for 100 people. As if that wasn’t difficult enough, she was competing against ANOTHER Brooklynite for a $10,000 prize!

I participated as one of her party-goers and I even got to help with the decor by painting a carnival sign before the big event. As evidenced by my display of teeth below, I was very excited to be a part of the fun.

It’s been a while since I’ve played around in a coloring book and with images of famous chefs and other food-related games, this one was right up my alley. You can buy it here on Amazon: Small Thyme Cooks.

Also, check out Trends on Trends to see the gorgeous food photography (by Signe Birck) that I used as inspiration for the food this page.
