Friday, February 25, 2011 Jewellery

I've been making jewellery lately. I sell it in a wonderful store in the East Village, called the Shape of Lies, and am in the process of finding other stockists and setting up a store to sell online. Laser cutting is awesome.

Thursday, February 24, 2011 full-body semaphore communication technique

Shamelessly I post digital photos of the cat instead of any kind of work of substance

Monday, February 21, 2011 the most exciting thing that has ever happened in Milo's life

A bird landed on the railing outside our window. The kitten went absolutely rigid with excitement.
I took film photos too but am too impatient to wait for them to get developed. So crummy digital will have to suffice.

Monday, February 14, 2011 Happy Valentines Day

Today I saw a business man crying in the street, hunched in an alcove. Sad times. Hope your Val-Day is better than his.

photobooth strip from Berlin, three years ago

If you are so inclined, you can read an interview with me here, for the wonderful Way of Women project. Tons of great artists are featured, including a few of my dear friends.

Sunday, February 6, 2011 Diviner's Tale

I did an illustration for the New York Times Book Review, and it came out today. This is my first time being properly in print, and I was filled with childish excitement to actually get my hands on its papery little self. Hooray.

You can also see it online here.

Thursday, February 3, 2011 Grounded hawk

The good people at the New York Times City Room Blog posted my drawings of a hawk I saw injured when visiting their building. Slight problem revealed in the comments section: it appears that my bird is more of a falcon than a hawk. When I drew it I didn't actually know which it was, so I just kind of invented a bird of prey based on a few reference images. I hope the hawk can forgive me. They are just sketches. I will do better in future, little red tailed hawk.
