I’ve had lots of inspiration lately for various greeting card lines, and this helps to balance the production-centric work I’ve been doing lately. Design lines include:
• Food
• Judaica
(lots of overlap in the above two!)
• Floral & Herbal
• Coffee & Tea ….
Let’s see how much I can get done in time for the holidaze….

Would love to see Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction at the Whitney in NYC. In the meantime, since I’ve been creating lots of decorative borders lately anyway, thought I’d have some fun …. Okay, I really must get back to work!

Designing this new postcard for such an inspirational person is, well, an inspiration. I’d love to try out Nubia’s dance classes!

Looking at it makes me want to “design it”, i.e. place pages, and create a little movie showing my work. I especially like the reflection at bottom. (Empty cell at bottom’s for a [...]

This Geogia O’Keefe painting is at the SFMOMA right now. Her vivid flowers, her gentle landscapes, her colors, the vibrancy…

One of the many amazing images that came to life over the weekend, at the San Rafael Italian Street Painting Festival. It’s a privelege to be able to watch these many artists at work. Thank you, and thanks to the City of San Rafael.

Wonderful to work with Anna Ullrich and her art to design this card for her art show opening tomorrow night at Plainpaper Studio, in Berkeley. Her work is inspirational, making me want to create some new pieces of my own.

I created these logos and posters for a Branded Environments class I took with the Art Center College of Design. Great class.
