New CD design




Just finished this CD for a fun band that plays 60s style, Bossa nova music. This is the third CD that I have done for them and it is always a lot of fun.

50 Bucks I could have spent on art supplies!


Ok, I realize that the rising cost of groceries is not really a subject of vintage or artistic nature. But I was so utterly SHOCKED last night at King's where I went to pick up just a "few things". I stood there open mouthed as the clerk mumbled the tally. How could so little cost SO much? I may have to give up olives ($4.41) and seaweed salad, but the rest were pretty necessary.

Is it this high outside the greater NY area? yikes!

Down in a meadow...


This is a print I created for Etsy...I love this quote. I discovered it while browsing through an old autograph book from the thirties.

Etsy store name: Vintage Owl

New map illo


Just completed this map for a travel magazine. It was a fun project and I enjoyed giving it a vintage feel.

The Cover that didn't make it


I've been working on this book cover for the past few months. There were long delays between my submitting art and the client giving feedback. I had a lot of fun with the hand lettering, drawing and incorporation of ephemera. But in the end it got axed in favor of more contemporary photography. Bye bye Mozart. I hate to see you go! :)

Backward Town


This is a new piece I developed for my children's portfolio. I am back at SVA this semester taking another class with Monica Wellington. This illustration was inspired by a poem by Mary Ann Hoberman. It was a lot of fun.

Miss Freckles-Felinas Wildis :)


Sometimes it's very easy to see how my tiny 6 lb. cat could be related to a jungle cat. Check out the pose on her! LOVE it!

little vignettes



I've been doing these little story telling illustrations lately. Tiny tidbits of writing about the characters I paint. Some of them made it into a promo I sent out.
