Tonight I’m attending the party/show for American Illustration 35. These 2 pieces got in out of 10,003 submissions. The jury selected, by a majority vote or better, only 339. The first is for Lenny Letter and the 2nd is for The CFDA.
Hi everyone,
I added original art to my shop including a few fresh live painting pieces from NYFW–The Whit Presentation.
I’m beyond excited share the Prinkshop lookbook, shop and site images I creative directed and produced with an amazing all female team including: Founder: Pamela Bell, Photographer: Meredith Jenks, Hairstylist: Rubi Jones, Stylist: Jessica Roberts, Makeup/model: Mical Klip, and models: Sasha Frolova, Manu Kondo and Tamar Sagre-Lewis (via Surface Models).
Prinkshop is the brainchild of one of the Kate Spade founders, Pamela Bell. Pamela’s passion for social justice, freedom of speech, humanity, art and graphic design lead her to found Prinkshop. She believes business can be profitable and socially beneficial. Prinkshop identifies issues that need to be addressed; the bold, text-based graphic products feature issues ranging from sex trafficking to education, homelessness, and marriage equality. Prinkshop finds trailblazing organizations working in each of the issues, partners with them, and donates 30% of profits to their causes. Everything is produced in the US.
Check out Prinkshop’s latest collaboration with Cara Delevingne and UN organization Girl Up. (more…)
Marchesa invited me backstage during NYFW to capture my perspective before the models hit the runway. Their gowns are utterly magical. The details are beyond exceptional. Models floated around in ombre toile and shimmering gold. It was something out of A Midsummer Night’s Dream rather than a rainy night in NYC. Anyway, I illustrated these images for them to share on Instagram.
I’m beyond excited to tell you about a creative direction and illustration project I’ve been working on. quarterlane books is an amazing new book subscription box company with the most perfectly curated books of the season delivered to your doorstep with incredible lux gifts and artist edition prints.
The box itself is modeled after a Lanvin shoe box with silvery gray ribbon. Boxes of the season are curated for distinctive tastes, from The Aesthete including Grace Coddington’s book, Lee Radziwill’s book and Christiane Lemieux’s brand new book, The Finer Things (that I also happened to have illustrated) + gifts to the Fall Fiction box curated for the reader looking to get lost in the best novels of the season. You have to check them all out and pick which suits you.
There are a variety of subscription levels. You don’t have to commit to any of them to get the box of your dreams. What could be a better gift than carving out time to read and gifting yourself this essential luxury? The boxes make amazing gifts for fellow book lovers too.
In the coming weeks and months we’ll be building out The Edit, quarterlane’s sister site.
