Home Again

...too tired to type.

More musicians in class this week.

Ciao friends. I'm off this weekend to Grand Rapids Michigan to talk to the illustration students at Grand Valley State. It's my first time doing this sort of thing, so wish me luck! I hope I don't disappoint. 

Red Letter Day.

Ok, maybe more like Pink and Green Package day...but exciting nonetheless. 

I recieved me copy of "Charlotte Au Chocolat" in the mail today! I'm so excited. This is my first hand-lettered book cover AND I got to do the interior spots. Getting this job was a classic example of being in the right place at the right time (that is being an intern at Penguin who can put together four hand lettered sketches in one afternoon). I think I will reread this adorable memoir to celebrate. 

On Location: The Met

Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to go on a backstage tour of the Met with my drawing class. This was hands down one of the coolest museum/tours I have been on in NYC. If you are ever visiting or even if you live here, I highly recommend adding this destination to your list. There's no photography allowed, and our tour was a short 90 minutes, so all the drawings were done while walking alongside our amazing tour guide, Brett (who you'll see depicted in the plaid Blazer). I felt like I was participating in some sort of drawing-on-location Olympics. So little time. So much to see.
