Do me up

Have you seen the new Bust Magazine, you know the one with the undeniably awesome Rashida Jones on the cover? (interviewed by the awesome Lisa Butterworth) Well, flipping through I was inspired to accessorize my hum-drum-hair-in-a-bun summer hair-do (beautifully illustrated by Samantha Hahn). I'm totally into sweeping my hair back into the 40s housewife look (how-to #2) and so it got me looking into some scarves, particularly by Vera Neumann. Its been fun looking, but bad for my wallet...

I can't help myself...

I'm swear to you that I'm not going to constantly be putting up photos of my dog. But, I can't help myself. Over the weekend, I helped a friend with a photo shoot for Bust Magazine. Its an article on local foods Thanksgiving, so therefore we had a faux Thanksgiving in August. Anna Wolf shot the beautiful photos and my dog and her friend's dog were perfect models. By the way, the other dog, her name is Meow and she too has a blog.

All Busted up!

It's funny how things come back around, when I first got out of school my first editorial illustration job was given to me by Laurie Henzel at Bust Magazine. I was so excited when I got that job and hoped for the day that maybe, one day, my art would get featured in the magazine... 5 1/2 years later... here it is!

The nice ladies over at BUST magazine did a feature on the "Thread as the line" Show down in VA. They featured 4 of us artists (Jennifer Boe, Megan Whitmarsh, Anila Rubiko, and myself) in the show, check out this month's issue (btw, 15 year anniversary!!! CONGRATS!) with Amy Sedaris on the cover! I am very, very excited to be a part of their 15th anniversary issue and most importantly to have Bust supporting me from the very beginning.






I love Amy Sedaris!
