A selection of photos from Friday’s Reading Paintings opening in DUMBO (and closing) night, right after we finished hanging and before the crowd fell upon us like art locusts (okay that’s sort of wishful thinking).
Updated flyer for the show I’m in this Friday, April 26th, at 7 pm! Including dear friends, lots of brand new work. I barely slept this weekend while I was making my 2'x8’ (on two 4’ panels…as if I have 8’+ of working space in my apartment!) portrait of all the characters turned to stone in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
We’re installing tomorrow!

Working on my piece for Reading Paintings! It’s only 8'x2’…
Current project: Reading Paintings
My friends and I are doing a pop-up show this April in a giant empty apartment in Dumbo. The show will be up for just one night, so please drop by! The details are on the flier.

This week’s piece for Illustration Naked Party!

I started a girls’ club of young illustrators (illustresses?) with a bunch of my wonderful lady friends–we’re making weekly themed art that includes nudity, because we all draw a ton of naked people. Check it out!
This frame from my flower face gif was selected for American Illustration 32!
Depending on what kind of work environment you’re in, this might not be safe for it.

Two of my mini Metrocard paintings (Honey on the Lips and The Recluse) are still available from Single Fare–this is the last week the show is up, and a ton of great work is available to buy both online and in person! Stop by RH Gallery (137 Duane St.), 11-7 p.m. Tuesday-Friday to be totally overwhelmed by 2500+ art pieces.
Used to be a lone wolf, now I'm your puppy dog.
Needs a dozen more frames that I can guarantee I will never draw.
Four pieces mailed off for Single Fare 3! Tissue paper veils and roughly life-sized tissue/oil/tape insects over miniature graphite and oil portraits on gessoed Metrocards.
This weekend I finished up four pieces for Single Fare 3, which opens February 13th. The show is open submission–so anyone can make as many pieces as they want, and as long as they submit them properly, they’ll be in the show. Every piece sells for the set price of $100.
The spider is a lot larger than life and I wish I had made it smaller, but the first time I picked it up after cutting it out the heat from my palm made it curl up so much like a real spider that I nearly dropped it.
At long last! 36" silk Nudie and Bad Omens scarves are now available for pre-order, as well as new bandana-sized Dirty Hankies on ultra-soft cotton lawn. The regular 12" Dirty Hankies are on sale for Valentine’s Day, as well as all mis-printed hankies (which are only $15.30 after the discount!)
Finally, after months of testing various silks and configurations of naked bodies, the 36" Nudie Scarf is ready for production, on stunning, delicate silk chiffon! This weekend I’ll be listing it for pre-order on etsy along with an updated-for-2013 Dirty Hankie in both the standard 12" size and a new 18" bandana size, and the brand new Bad Omens scarf, also 36" on chiffon!
meeting facebook’s demand for a cat scarf–“bad luck”.

Kitten Cotton.
This gif is based on the Vegetable Lamb. The heads are my roommates’ cat, but she’s a Turkish Angora so technically this should be kitten wool, not cotton. Although in German, cotton is “Baumwolle” which translates to “tree wool.”
