Studio Decorating

Whole Foods Better Bags

Here's a collection of reusable bags I worked on with Whole Foods.  Drawings by me, design by Whole Foods.

Society of Illustrators 54

I had two pieces selected for The Society of Illustrators Annual, very happy and honored! Here is one of them.

Clouds-n-Daisies

Here's a recent spread we did for Computerworld Magazine.  Thanks to April Montgomery for doing such a great job with the layout and making our artwork look nice.

Rug Design for NuLoom

We love getting samples in the mail, here's a project I worked on over the summer in collaboration with NuLoom Rugs. Wes is very excited to break this in with some long afternoon sunbeam naps.

Paint Time

I took a little break from the computer and decided to work on a painting Matt had started awhile back.  It felt good to get messy again.

Hello Paris!

We took a little trip to Paris that turned out to be pretty magical.  Tasty food, fun times with the family and a nice break from work.  We're back in Philly now and fully recharged and ready to take on the studio again.  I'm a little behind on e-mails but promise to get back to you all very soon.  

Weeds

Here's a recent cover I worked on with Allison Saltzman from Ecco/Harper Collins.  

When I received the initial call for this project I happened to be standing in my parents garden which happened to have a fair amount of weeds (sorry Dad, I know its not your fault...just a weedy season!) anways, I was immediately inspired and was happy to have such a magnificent array of reference material at my fingertips.  Thanks to Allison for being such a great art director, and to my Dad for having a fantastically weedy section of his garden.  

Surtex '11

Matt and I will be at showing our work at Surtex this year.  Feel free to swing by booths 

#345-347 to say hello.

Daily Drop Cap

Awhile back the fantastically talented Jessica Hische invited us to be part of her Special Guest Alphabet for Daily Drop Cap.  She gave us the letter J (for Juniper) and we went to work. Here is the end result.  Thanks to Jess for inviting us to be part of her very cool project. Click here to see more.

Here's an illustration we did for a children's poetry section of the Washington Post.

Snow Day!

New Limited Edition SmartWool Socks

Just in time for the chilly weather, new SmartWool Socks.

Here we have my two top notch studio assistants helping me out with the design process.

Thanks to SmartWool for another fun project.

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays!

Over the past few weeks we had the pleasure of working with Lisa Schreiber of the Washington Post. Here is the cover art for the Holiday Happenings insert.

You can see additional images on Matt's Drawger blog.

Personal Work...

Personal work has taken the back burner since Lady Juniper has come into our life. We've been focusing mostly on commissioned work for the past two years (diapers are expensive!) but managed to eek this piece out in between everything else.

SmartWool Limited Edition

Over the past year I've been collaborating with SmartWool to create a line of limited edition of socks for the Spring '10 season. The experience was great and I can't say enough nice things about the people at Smartwool. Thank you to Mercedes Marchand for making this happen.

It's always fun to get samples in the mail, Juniper thought it was pretty cool too. Here she is taking inventory...

...and making sure they fit (i think she still has some growing to do).

The socks are part of SmartWool's Gallery collection. If interested, you can find them here at: www.smartwool.com
