I recently re-designed my name mark by using a more beefy type – a nice balance of round and hard edges – and added a swoosh element over the dots of the i’s to symbolize: It’s simple and minimalist which is a hallmark of my work. Instead of having standard-sized business cards printed, I opted […]

Happy May the 4th Be With You
For a good chunk of my career, my days were centered on creating new Star Wars character illustrations to be released in time for May the 4th – fan favorite USB flash drives like this C-3PO which I am super proud of. So, it was only right that my kiddo would be born on this […]
Drawing Pokemon Fanart a Day
It all started out as a fun activity to do with my Pokemon-obsessed kiddo. But then, it quickly morphed into a creative project to work on. My only criteria is that I work only with crayons and to fit in one drawing a day. I’m 19 days in and it’s been a blast. I’ve fallen […]
Afternoon Drawing Session
This is supposed to be a bok choy. i like how the colors turned out. All of this is courtesy of making art with the kiddo this afternoon which was really nice…and, much needed. However, for two seconds I was paralyzed — I couldn’t put the crayon to paper because I didn’t know what to […]
Water bottle and carrying case…
SOooOOOoOOooOoo tempting to order this just for the carrying case BUT (a) I love my Owala bottle too much and (b) I’m not one to carry a water bottle with a strap – it’s usually shoved into a bag or backpack. Instead, can Taylor and her team offer up just the strap separately because then […]
Traffic Sign Redesign
The new sign “Cars Only” doesn’t work because most people think cars is a more general term that applies to vans, small trucks and anything with four wheels. This is something quick I did, but would a bright red sign with “No Trucks” work better to avoid Storrow-ing?

From Sacrifice to…Fancy Shmancy Ice Cream: Fulfilling Immigrant Dreams
It’s always a fun challenge to condense everything you want to express into one, single comic panel. This week, I decided to tackle one again. So, did I actually spend $85 on six pints of ice cream? Yes because Jeni’s Ice Cream is SO delicious and I really want to try the homemade banana bread […]
MBTA Orange Line Shutdown Map Re-Design
This is just a quick attempt at reigning in the visual hot mess of the official MBTA orange line shutdown map that was released to the public. I mean, I get it – all the information needs to be listed and highlighted. But, when everything is highlighted, then the information becomes moot visually. For my […]
