Fresh Simplicity

I'm really liking London based Alex Mathers fresh, simple and colorful illustration style.

Illustrated Book Marriage Proposal

Illustrator Joel Kimmel proposed to his girlfriend of five years, Chantal Bennett, on new year’s eve 2010 by writing and illustrating a short story – the final page revealed an antique brass ring with a coral art nouveau design that was hidden inside the book. Read the entire story is on his blog. Wow.

I'm Back...

After a brief hiatus in writing here, and I'm back! I haven't written in my blog since my move to Brooklyn back in November. Three months later I'm freelancing at Showtime Networks, working on a new short film (which I'll be posting progress here) and eating up the culture/creative explosion of New York. So stay tuned for inspiring interviews, event write ups, short film progress, and more!

Above: A couple of weeks ago I attended a Dave Eggers & Chris Ying talk at Tishman Auditorium on the "San Francisco Panorama" (latest experimental newspaper issue of McSweeney's). I would highly recommend picking up a copy, it's an amazing achievement.
