words around Brooklyn.

Yesterday, I spent the day writing in a couple of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods...Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Bushwick and Billyburg. I love my borough. How did you spend your Saturday?

writing at home.

Woke up early this morning (totally weird) and started right in on a freelance assignment that needs some serious lovin' before I head home to Ohio for my brother's wedding reception, tomorrow. Oh, hey packing...yah...right...I need to work on you too...I'll just be off in the corner doing a million things. Its. cool.

Also, this is simple & brilliant eye candy .

partaking in Sunday Funday.

Sunday...also referred to as my favorite day to finish projects, sip on cawfee with the NY Times, hang out with my crazy friends in the park with beverages and catch up on my people watching - very, VERY important inspiration, ya know.

Also, I'm totally digging these illustrations of cawfee shops around the BK.

drawing is my remedy.

A little drawing based off of dinner with my friend Peter last night.
The most perfect version of Lady Gaga's Just Dance, here - go you won't be sorry. Trust.
Happy Thursday, kids. I'm off to lunch with my old art director - miss her.

dear patron saint of get me a new j-o-b, NOW.

I spent most of the weekend working on my portfolio, and I'm thinking it is a MUCH better representation of me and my work. Its much more playful, and I'm digging the black and white. After all that portfolio work, I woke up this morning with my brain full of ideas and rearing to go. I went out on a walk early this morning and just collected them all into a little bundle and am slowly ticking away on them. . Now, I must go get more cawfee, but I hope your Monday is also playing niiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

Also, I wish I did this.

Monday and handmade type.

My Monday was anything but manic, but the antics that took place were a bit cray-cray, thanks to hanging out with my bff, Ethel. We spent the day wandering around Coney Island, taking note of handmade signs and eating cheese fries. Then I headed into the city to meet up with Jessica and Einav to work on a couple of projects until the wee hours. Can't wait to show the results...so much work to be done before that tho!
Also, Marco sent me this and I about died. So effing good.

saturday morning musings.

Wrote a story this morning, based off these flowers. They smelled so incredibly good, and it made me wonder why all things that are in the process of dying can't smell as good. Now, I'm off to the city to work on a freelance project.
Ta-ta!

if you could, would you name a building after me?

I've been taking lots of walks in the rain this past week and I've noticed that all these old apartment buildings in my 'hood have the greatest names! That last one really steals my heart, I so *so wish I lived in a building called Ramona. Don't you?
"Yah, just pop by Ramona and say hi"...or "I'm going home to Ramona", "Ramona has cockroaches again...gotta call the exterminator"...oooh so good.
In completely unrelated news, my friend Marco sent me this and it made me laugh...so wrong, but so right.

In my dreams grey smells like lilacs.

I spent the day juggling two different spec projects for my portfolio and it felt *so good to be working with partners and coming up with ideas again. That rush of adrenaline that coffee plus idea making does to me is SO good. Today when I was walking home the afternoon light made all the greys look pretty and even made the lilacs outside my door smell better than their delicious selves.

pensive sunshine.

It was the first weekend of the year that I felt the summer shenanigans were coming out to play.
I hope the weather isn't too shy and keeps up with the pleasantries.
