Staple Spring 2012
I recently designed two tees for Staple Design’s Spring 2012 collection. The theme this season is Theology, and the tees are titled the Mary Remix Tee and the Deity Patch Tee. Check’em out at The Reed Space now.
Dreamside at the Grace Hotel
Last week I created a poolside balloon installation at the Grace Hotel in Times Square for the Dreamside Pool Party. Visually massive and loud, the vision was neon colored zebras flying over a cloud of safari prints. Pics by Sergio Galarza.
RIP Maurice Sendak. RIP MCA. RIP Twentieth Century Greatness.
The Blackwing Panel Discussion
This Wednesday (4.18.12), from 7pm - 9pm, I have the honor of moderating a panel on Palomino’s revival of the Blackwing Pencil at the Art Directors Club in New York City. Participating on the panel are Maira Kalman, Blake Eskin, Craig Kausen, and Charles Berolzheimer.
*update* RSVPs closed. It was a great event, and it was great being able to talk candidly with such amazing people whom I admire. Great times.
The Gear Collective - Teaser
Here’s a tease of a project I’m working on with the good people at Karin + Raoul and EIC/photographer Hassan Kinley for their Remix issue. Thanks to Gear Collective, Cadence, and Campagnolo for being awesome.
There Will Be No Survivors: Recap Video
Here is the recap video I teased a few days ago, directed by Matthew Caron. Some great cameos. Thanks again to everyone that supported. It was a fantastic event.
The Great Unknown
Here is a Jeremy Lin piece for SLAM I worked on during my Hell week not too long ago and I couldn’t be happier with the results (even if Carmelo’s return has been bittersweet).
Roots of Life
It’s still nippy outside, so there’s still time to buy this Windstopper Climbing Jacket + bag combo from Nanamica and The North Face Purple Label and the fifth year of their Roots of Life project. This year’s theme is the deep sea. I illustrated the lining seen below, which is a paisley inspired print, featuring semi-fictitious underwater creatures. Images are courtesy of Nanamica.
The Recap (photos)
That guy looks tired. Oh wait, that’s me. Thanks to everyone that came to the There Will Be No Survivors preview at Norwood last week. I’ve been taking a few days to get back to work and recharge. I feel both great and grateful. This series was a labor of love and I’m ecstatic that the event was so good. More after the jump.
