A recent set of illustrations I did for The Hairpin, for an article titled "The Truth About Your Smile"

Online Shopping Tips: December Reader's Digest.

If you see the December issue of Reader's Digest at your grocery store checkout, FLIP TO PAGE 72! There in all its sparkle magic glory are some shopping bags and a laptop illustrated by yours truly. It says my name and everything!

I've been reading Reader's Digest since I was probably too young to understand some of the feature articles. My dad would bring them home with our groceries, and I would immediately steal them. Before he even realized it was missing I would have read it cover to cover. I remember looking at the illustrations and realizing that was a job someone had. I didn't think "Maybe I should do that!" but it must have had some kind of impact on me. Sports Illustrated was my second introduction to editorial illustration, and I knew for sure I would not be drawing bobble head baseball player caricatures one day.

This is why, when I made a small, realistic list of the magazines I would hope to one day see my work in, Reader's Digest was number 1 (Today's Parent is #2 - I'm coming for you!).

My mother arrived to visit me for my birthday, and in her hand was the much anticipated December Reader's Digest. I didn't even know it was out yet! She hadn't realized that this was THE issue of Reader's Digest until she was halfway through her flight, flipping through, and there it was. She was excited as can be with no one to tell. 

Thanks for working with me Annelise, it was a wonderful experience. 

In El Hipo: North American Review

I recently had the opportunity to illustrate a fictional piece of writing for North American Review, a wonderful and very old literary publication. I had a terrific time working on this piece, and I am happy to see it taking up quite a bit of space in issue 299.1.

WORN FASHION JOURNAL ISSUE #18 (featuring me!)

Issue 18 of WORN Fashion Journal is here! The underwear themed issue is one of my favourites so far, probably because I was involved in the art in a good chunk of the magazine. 

Firstly, I was lucky enough to illustrate the 6-page lace glossary, showing 11 styles of lace, some of which were painfully detailed. My wrists definitely suffered for this one, but it was well worth it. Look!

I also had to opportunity to art direct my very first WORN photo shoot, TOP DRAWER, a photo journalism style editorial of different folks in different undies. Photographed by Wynne Neilly, and featuring a bunch of my cute friends. This FOURTEEN page editorial (I thought it was 10, I just counted and I am so shocked) took two long days of shooting to complete, but the result is really beautiful and diverse. It was really nice to see so many people happy to pose in their underwear. Everyone looks so beautiful!
