helmet customizing workshop

I'm so excited and stressed about the helmet customizing workshop I organized at my school! It's tomorrow! The fabulous artist Danielle Baskin of bellehelmets (work seen above) is coming to teach the kids about being stylish and safe on the streets by custom painting their own helmets. A fabulous company based in new york has donated all the helmets! Let's hope it all goes smoothly.

new print

it's one from a little while ago, and for some reason I never thought about how much I would love to sell prints of it until a coworker of David's (sidekick) asked me if I could paint her something of a weiner dog. and I thought to myself... "i've got one of those".

coming soon...

fully illustrated (by me) sugar skull making directions. stay tuned!

amazing children's spaces

Over at the Lulu Bird there was a great post about a beautiful children's space in Japan! It got me thinking of amazing places designed for children I have experienced, and could think of nothing but St. Louis's City Museum. A sort of sculpture park/discovery zone.
