Spot Illustrations

A selection of illustrations from past projects, reflecting different styles and media.

Drag Day

To celebrate Pride Week at Media Arts Lab in 2019, a day of drag-tastic activities was planned, and I jumped at the chance to create the poster.

Hand-lettered with love and sequins.

LA City Guide

Media Arts Lab wanted to create a guide to include with their onboarding materials for new employees—something exciting that captured the lore of Los Angeles, and the thousand interesting nooks and crannies of this sprawling city.

Enter: The LA City Guide. Detailed illustrations of some of the weirdest, most photographed, much talked about landmarks in the greater Los Angeles Area.

Side note: woolly mammoths are surprisingly difficult to draw.

TOMS

Design work for TOMS included web and mobile page designs, graphics for email and web marketing, and a suite of illustrations used across web, experiential, catalog, and in-store applications.

In addition to the digital and web design work for TOMS, I was also able to create illustrations for the sketchbook props used during filming of the TOMS x AT&T commercial that aired during the 2016 Academy Awards.

Sketchbook

I use my sketchbooks as creative inspiration, often doing month-long prompts like October’s Inktober, and January’s 21-Days of Good Health. It helps me to break out of what I normally draw (my dogs, my plants, 4,000 mushrooms) and to tackle some fun things while I re-watch 30 Rock for the 8-millionth time.

I also like to use sketchbooks as a diary/list-keeper/concept-generator too, so you never know what’s going to pop up. Could be logo ideas, or my grocery list in elaborate hand-drawn type.

Jo Malone

In Boston and Los Angeles, I partnered with London fragrance company, Jo Malone, as one of their featured artists. As a featured artist, I traveled to Jo Malone counter locations across Boston and Southern California, illustrating their iconic cream product boxes for holiday events and promotions for clients.

Illustrations featured London landmarks: Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the double-decker buses and black cabs, and more.
