Took Friday off to hang out with my parents, who are in town for the weekend! // Ate a plethora of things, including ham and bean soup // wore my new boots & gave my parents very belated trinkets I got for them in NY.

I have to make sure I don't buy any more short, heeled, lace up boots. Its an illness. SEND ME TO REHAB.

cover girl

Last year I was approached by my friend Wes (I linked to his IMDB page because I think it is amazingly cool that he has an IMDB page), saying he had a young adult fiction novel he was writing, and did I want to do the cover?

"YESYESYESYESYESYESYES"

I'm always admiring the youth fantasy fiction section when at book stores - from the realism (like this cover by Sam Weber) to the more stylized covers, they're always so fantastic and fun, it always looks like the artists have a good time with them.



The characters in this book were so great to draw, too. Mary is a very realistic young lady to me - at home in a bleek Minnesotan tundra until she's placed in the world of magic that she secretly wishes was real. You should probably read the book... if not just for the wicked Muma Padruii (on the right) who has the most insane description I have ever read (I didn't even do half of it justice in my drawing).

dream on

I call this piece "My Perfect Fall Outfit / What I would Buy If I Didn't Have Student Loans But Did Have A Few Hundred Extra Dollars Lying Around"

(Clare Tough cardigan, Elizabeth and James denim shirt, Stella McCartney wool skirt, Jeffery Campbell boots, A.P.C. Madras tights, DANNIJO necklace, Good Hood glasses.)
