I am posting this for this weeks illustration friday. For my mfa thesis (in may 2006),  i created an exhibition with ten multiple personalities… if you click on WHOSE SHE  you view (an interactive flash version of ) the catalog of all the “artists.” I created all the artwork for each of the personalities. (I also designed the catalog and wrote all the copy.) Also, if you look carefully, all the letters of my (full) name create each of the 10 artists names.

 i just wanted to post some new design work. the fairmount art center is a fabulous place to take art classes in the fairmount section of philadelphia. (and it just hapens to be in my “hood.”) jill, the owner is super nice and they have classes & workshops for kids and adults. i just finished a postcard for fall II session and the fall brochure was printed last month. if youre in need of some learning and fun - check it out!

i was long overdue for a new sketchbook, so last night i made this. ive been noticing and obsessing over clouds lately… my dad was a huge fan of them. he used to take rolls of film of them… so i guess this is a recent self-portrait in a way…the bookcloth is from papersource. i really wish there were one of these in philly. the binding is a “4 needle coptic”. I’ve only done that once before, but i think the result is pretty nice and simple. the inside paper juts out from underneath the covers. i’m not sure if i like it, but i wanted to try it. (i usually like it on other books.)the other bottom 2 photos show the rest of my sketchbook making “ritual.” i always create a notes/calendar section in the back and i always write the “d.o.b.” in the front. bookmaking is so rewarding.ps stay tuned for > new studio < information. here’s a peak at the new space that my friend brian and i will be sharing. it’s in this philadelphia landmark building. fun fun!!!
