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.

Surtex '11

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

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

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.

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.

Matt found this while cleaning the studio, I think it pretty much sums up last year.

Hello, It's Been Awhile...

We've been keeping very busy around here and for some reason I never seem to get everything done on my to-do list....blogging, doing dishes and washing my paint brushes have definitely been on the back burner. But hey! it's March of 2010 and I'm turning a new leaf (or at least that's what I'm telling myself). Here's a little update from the past few months.

August '09

This past August the very nice people from Philadelphia Magazine came to take pic's of our humble abode for the Fall/Winter Issue of Home Magazine. It was a fun experience and our house has never looked so clean. Photos by Trevor Dixon, Styling by Barbara Botting, Article by Lauren McCutcheon.

Juniper turns one! We love this little lady more than words can say.

Even though she's really not a fan of sleeping at night (or during the day) we find her to be a very diligent studio assistant. Once she learns how to make us coffee we'll be set.

We've been working on lots of projects in the studio. One particularly fun one was a Journal for Chronicle Books. Thanks to Kristen Hewitt for being so much fun to work with...and for doing such a nice job with the design.

Jan. - Feb. '10

Lots of snow in Philadelphia. Lots and lots and lots!

Oldie but Goodie

Last year we worked on a fun collaboration painting commission for James which is an amazing restaurant in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia. We've been meaning to put these pic's up on our website for awhile now but haven't yet gotten around to it, so I figured this might be a good place to start.

Here we have Matt painting away...just in case you're wondering, he does the more realistic glazed sections and I do the others. And yeah, I know, my studio is messy.

Hanging the painting.

...and last but not least, we reward ourselves with a tasty meal from the restaurant. So good.
