Botanical Dream

Paris rooftop logo

Benoit Finck is working on his new film "Mec Fun Seul" and

asked me to design a logo for his film company Belleville Films, 

so I looked out the window for inspiration!

Café scene

Now when I look at this illustration it suddenly looks so summery! We seem to be slipping into autumn without even noticing and it's a truly beautiful time in Paris.

This will appear in the next 3x3 Illustration Directory due out in early 2012.

Po-Paris!

It's not often you get to have your designs taken to Albania,
embroidered onto recycled coffee sacs and shipped to Paris
for the Salon "Maison & Objet". But it happened to me!
And who else could facilitate such a wonderfully convoluted
design process but the irrepressible John of Po-Paris?

Hiking Couple

I've just returned from vacation in the mountains of Ticino, Switzerland.

Ticino is prone to fierce storms and has the highest level of lightning discharge in the whole of Europe!

No wonder I feel positively re-charged.

In a departure from my usual yoga illustrations, I recently completed a series of images commissioned as branding for a new Pilates studio.

The Tote Bag book

"The Tote Bag".... delivered to the door this month. Thank you Jitesh Patel!

My first tote for Barnes and Noble sites alongside totes from all around the world in this fantastic showcase of "some of the most striking, inventive and subversive examples of the ubiquitous tote."

These utilitarian carry-alls are such perfect mobile canvasses for your art.

Immunity Boost from Pregnancy

This illustration was created for Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Three times a year this world renowned hospital and college produces its own magazine, and this article was about the results of Mount Sinai's studies in viral immunity in pregnancy. It explained how pregnancy's mysteries may hold the key to major changes and treatments of auto-immune disorders and many other diseases.

Better body image through yoga

"Positve ID", my illustration for Yoga Journal's upcoming special issue on weight loss.
This story is about how yoga improves a woman's body image.

Why even go on vacation if it's so much hassle?
