quarterlane books—launch!

Quarterlane Homepage shortI’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. Right now interviews with Mary Louise Parker, Anna Solomon, Amor TowlesChristiane Lemieux  and Caitlin Mcgauley are up. Follow along as we feature people’s reading spaces, the best designed reading lights, features on amazing indie bookstores, interviews with authors, artists and publishing insiders and more. Subscribe to the quarterlane newsletter for special content, deals and to be in the know on the latest book boxes.

I’m personally running quarterlane’s Pinterest. My favorite boards to pin to are: quarterlane’s favorite book covers, icons & bibliophiles, libraries & reading spaces. Follow us on Instagram too!

Backstage at Gypsy Sport for NYFW SS17

I loved going backstage at the Gypsy Sport show. Rio Uribe the designer is a totally out of the box thinker and designer. He is the winner of the CFDA fashion fund. Vogue describes the brand this way “Gender norms don’t exist, height and body type are nonissues, and there’s no sense of uniformity in the beauty looks…” So you can imagine is was a pretty fresh scene backstage with models looking like city club kids not like boarding school girl models. I captured my perspective and then raced back to my studio to work from the reference photos.

2016-09-07 15.01.37 I was thrilled when designer Whitney Pozgay of Whit invited me to live paint her SS17 presentation during New York Fashion Week at The New York Academy of Art. The Cut hit me up to talk with her about her interactive show. Check out my conversation with her in this post. In addition to the interview and live painting the models with other artists, I also took photos behind the scenes. Check my Instagram for hyperlapse videos of the paintings being made.

New York fashion week is coming up and I’m excited to be covering it in a unique way. I hope to see lots of diversity this year. I have to say that I’ve seen things improving slowly though there’s still more room for change.
