GOOD/Cole Haan Illustration Submission

I found this great contest through GOOD called Project Doodle: Something Good in the World. The challenge is to do a drawing based on someone or something putting good into the world. I am a sucker for a competition - and it helps that it is being supported by Cole Haan. I immediately thought of a national but locally started non-profit called Growing Power. Their vision is to inspire communities to build sustainable food systems that are equitable and ecologically sound, creating a just world, one food-secure community at a time. They were the PERFECT subject for my illustration.

Here it is - I’m pretty happy with it. Remember people: take care of yourself, your community and your planet.

Treasury: Don Draper Approved

You know how I love the 50s/60s era, so I must also love MadMen by default. Check out today’s treasury in honor of my favorite, favorite Don Draper and crew.

Anthropologie: The Realm of Mystics

I absolutely love the new catalog from Anthropologie. (I extra love them for printing on nice paper.) The theme is both magical and whimsical - or, in their words, visions of ethereal elegance.

Do You Live in a Happy City?

Loving these cut paper pieces from Hort Illustration for enRoute Magazine (via e-sushi.) They certainly imply a happy, happy city - wish I was riding my bike through Central Park right now!

popbar, NYC

I am probably very lucky that I do not have a popbar near my house - I am constantly chasing and tackling the guys that push the popsicle carts. I am, however, considering a trip out east just to visit! Popsicle genius.
