climbing walls and downward dogs

Jill Malek is a Brooklyn-based graphic designer, whose work spills fantastically onto wallpapers, websites, and now yoga mats! (Sign me up Jill!) One uber-talented friend, we met a year ago over flowing wine at a design store opening and have been bouncing ideas ever since, collaborating when appropriate. 

We photographed her apartment for Design Sponge here a few months ago. I find it endlessly fascinating and inspiring to have a peek inside someone else's living space, especially in New York. Don't you?! 

Super Fab Children's Book

Johanna Wright is a fantastic painter who I knew back in the day when we worked in neighboring studios...she a painting assistant, and I a photo assistant...going and back and forth between studios to borrow odds and ends and share tootsie rolls along the way.

She's since moved to Oregon and has amassed such a fun collection of work and sells it here on etsy. I adore it. And i've bought numerous small paintings for gifts...(above are 3 I've given to friends/family)

And now she has a KIDS BOOK coming out!!

Here's the link to buy it on amazon.com

And the link to buy it on Powell's bookstore link also, because i love that shop!

Its called The Secret Circus...and something tells me it will be gorgeous.

enjoy!

Check out little uni!

A fabulously unique baby/kids collection out of Chicago. 

Started by my long time friend Andrea Needlman and her partner in crime Julie Crosson.

Both graphic designers, they've created a company this is seriously kickin arse.

Best part is, you can personlize the items...perfect gift? Duh!

(We shot these pictures together in Chicago a little while back and will be shooting new ones soon!)

I've updated my wedding and commissioned family portrait website!

check it out!
