time to move!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to put a quick note on here to let everyone know that I am moving my blog permanently to Tumblr at the Golden Girl Secret Headquarters.

Goodbye Blogger! It's been real. From now on, all updates, information and news will be on Tumblr. Please follow me there!

band is weird

Here is a recent piece I did for the Sarah Lawrence College Alumni magazine. It was for an excerpt of "In Zanesville" by faculty member, Joanne Beard. It's a coming of age story about two teenage girls from Ohio in the 1970s.

spring fashion

Here's my piece for this week's swap on Ten Paces and Draw (which is now one year old!). It was a fashion challenge, and super fun. Be sure to check out the new and improved Ten Paces and Draw website, it looks amazing!

Moon Stone Mamas

I was lucky to be asked to be in Light Grey Art Lab's upcoming show Pokémon: Battle Royale. There are 151 artists in the show (one for each pokémon!), which runs from April 16th - May 11th, 2012.

My pokémon is Clefable - a "fairy" pokémon and supposedly one of the rarest in the world. I figured a cool biker girl gang from the Kanto region would totally make it their mascot.

Treasure & Bond

I have a small illustration in the New Yorker this week for an article about a new shop called Treasure and Bond, which donates all its profits to children's charities.

(My mom texted me "Literally just saw YOU in the New Yorker!" I guess the girl in the illustrations DOES look a little like me... ok a lot!)

Thank you AD Jordan Awan!

winter

Even though I hate cold weather, I have to admit that dressing up in winter can be fun. Twice the clothing and twice the accessories!

Lots of people in New York can only buy very small trees as big ones won't fit in our apartments or up the stairs.

the red room

Here's something to get you in a spooky/Halloween-y (weenie?) mood: a piece I recently completed for Monster Show 2011 at Domy Books in Austin, TX. It's called "The Red Room." If you're in Austin or Houston from October 29 - December 8, definitely check it out in person! Wish I could!
