Working On

March 6, 2013

I’m currently working on producing the next Rock & Shop Market which is fast approaching on April 6th. But, when I get overwhelmed with tasks related to the event I procrastinate by working on other projects. Here are some things I’ve been working on lately, documented by Instagram photos:

I’ve long wanted to create a symbol to go along with my logo. This is a work in progress and the final will say “Multimedia Artist, Stylist & Photographer”. What do you think?

I’m pulling together a collection of my patterns to license and turn into products. What would you like to see these patterns on? I’d love to see them on apparel and have dreams of turning them into skirts, shirts and dresses.

I’ve been staging photo shoots for new promotional postcards and brainstorming new products.
