Posters for Subplot Studios

Here are three new posters I've created for Subplot Studios. Subplot Studios is working with illustrators from all over to make show poster art available to schools and local theater companies. Their aim is to encourage kids to get involved in drama programs by offering cool art for the show posters. I worked on Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Our Town. Click to enlarge!

Satellite Lounge, 6.17.11

Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I have been hard at work creating textiles, pillows and all sorts of new designs to beef up the old etsy page. Hopefully it will be up and running soon! In the meantime, I created a new poster for a DJ night at Satellite Lounge in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It's a great little bar that has lots of fun pinball machines and they recently got taps! Sounds perfect for a hot summer night and I'm sure this event will be too!

American Illustration 30 - CHOSEN

I'm pleased to announce that one of my favorite posters I've ever done has been chosen to appear as part of American Illustration 30 - their 30th anniversary annual! This was also one of the best shows ever, featuring Traveling Circle, Heavy Hands and Sean Dwyer Griffin.

2 New Posters

I am so excited to have done a new poster for my pal Lady Bree, for a show at Public Assembly. This is a bigger venue so doing a poster for an even there is kind of a big deal for little old me! My good friends Heavy Hands will be playing too.

I also had the pleasure of designing a poster for Josh, who is DJing with DJ IT next friday night. I illustrated on top of an old photo from our trip to Paris years ago, and thought collage would be another fun thing to try, rather than strictly illustration, just like the moon man poster from last month.

Print and Pattern Designs

I found an old travel drive that had some pattern designs I worked on recently - I think they would make great tea towels or other fun home goods. Click to enlarge!

Brooklyn Psychfest #2!

About a year ago I created a poster for the very first Brooklyn Psychfest. Well, the time has come for another Psychfest, this time happening on my birthday! Click to enlarge, and check out the link to the event page if you'd like to go!

Thanks to Bree for the gig!

2011 Tea Towel Calendar!

Click to enlarge!

The holidays start a little early for those of us who make our own cards, wrapping paper, and, well, gifts (my fingers are a little numb from knitting so much! hahaha)...but I have always wanted to make a calendar that displayed the whole year on one big sheet - and this year I've finally done it!

This is my 2011 zeppelin calendar, which has been printed on a lovely linen-cotton canvas as a tea towel. I am very excited to get these in the mail - I ordered a test version and it looks great! I am going to sew them up and embroider the edges, hopefully in time to sell a few by the holidays, or at least to give away as gifts to friends and family.

Recent Inspirations

Its pretty obvious that I love a pattern, and I've been designing textiles to go into my illustrations since I first started drawing - you can see them in almost all of my images. I decided it was time to start having them actually printed as fabrics, since I also love crafting things like pillows and other little gift items.

Awesome website Spoonflower lets you upload your designs and look at them in a variety of different repeats - so cool! I ordered a batch of test swatches for these images in different fabrics - can't wait to get them in the mail! I'll definitely post an update once I use one for something! I think I'm definitely going to make a duvet cover with the fabric version of the top image...
