Happy Valentine's Day

Also, need some new tracks? Go to Puma Holiday, click on PUMA G1FT-BOT's boombox and grab some music via RCRD LBL's Puma Widget. Party people will grab D.A.N.C.E. from Justice and Mos Def, and my recent rock 'n' roll fav, Cold War Kids.

Happy Weekend!

This week I was a busy fashion designer for FETISH on their Spring 2008 line. It was rather exciting working high above the hustle-bustle of 34th street in a space full of glass, flowers, and fabric. Equally interesting was being dropped into the office environment. Sweet receptionist, back-stabbing designers, flirty IT guys, and of course, the office ho. I listened to gossip while getting coffee in the kitchenette, I goofed off on Facebook, I went to a benefit party on Wednesday.

The job has ended and I'm happy back at Office 54. All in all, I learned a lot of new skills, but it's nice to come in and see my own mates and chat about 50s music, ODB, Joey Ramone, slow-paced films, and uninformed comics illustrators who drop the prices of their pages and lower the overall value of the market rates... and other such things.

My sister's hired me for some freelance work... I was given some pretty great photos to work with and painted up this sketch Saturday night.

Fashion Week Fashion

Tribeca Grand/Church Lounge -- September 2007 (click images to view larger)

Fashion Week hit a few weeks ago and I went to one event with Maia and Cat, bringing my sketchbook along. I've been terrifically committed to daily life-drawing and I wasn't going to let a dark lounge, free Patron drinks, or dancing get in the way! I only wish we had some of the photos that were snapped or a recording of French DJs Gildas & Masaya (Kitsune)'s remix of Bowie's "Let's Dance". Unbelievably good!
