cat kimbro : promo shots

for one of our latest projects, kc and i teamed up and did some promo shots for the amazingly talented catherine kimbro. she's heading up to nashville for her spring break to present her newly recorded country demos.
kc & i are so passionate about making stuff together, and working as an stylist/photographer team is just ridiculously fun.

check out a couple more photos from the shoot here.

february + march inspiration

above is a snippet of my march inspiration folder. there are 415 items, so i couldn't show it all. but i'd say the main motifs running through the past couple of months are feminine colors: pink, light blue, and chartreuse; flowers & fauna; balloons and just an overall softness.

and since i posted january's inspiration, but not february's, here a screenshot of one of my feb folders
(already sorted, oops):

we're on design*sponge!

Yup that's our dining room table- on Design*Sponge! This is something of a personal achievement for me because I've been reading Grace's blog since I graduated high school. Waaaaay back in the day, things were different - I didn't have a thousand design blogs in my Google Reader, I read one. This one. (Also, she didn't post nearly as much and I would sometimes wait a whole day for a new post. omg.) And I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life beyond the summer.

As silly as it may sound, this blog inspired me to make a living being creative. And to have e-mails from Grace Bonney (omg!) saying such ridiculously nice things about some stupid stuff I made is just amazing.

coming may 2009

no updates recently 'cause i've been ridiculously busy. and a long way to go. whew.

LIFT : english camp landing page

This week I did this little page for my Estonian friends at Risttee Church. If you're a teen living in Estonia, you should definitely go! Thanks to Tarmo for coding it! Good luck guys.

chanel vs. sylvia

okay, okay it's already ALL over the blog circuits, but i just have to mention the theme of the 2009 Spring-Summer Chanel show. the paper accessories and decor of "monochrome white" bring me back to the ridiculously challenging and frustrating paper project from sylvia's introduction class at the circus.

4800 hours to assemble 7000 handmade, all white, paper sculptures. i think that's insanely cool, and makes me rethink the woes of first quarter. and my living room. get your exact-o knife ready, babe.
