Nonfash, primarily

Here are some recent, non-fashion-related projects. Some wedding cards and the cover of the cd I did for Austin. We were really pleased with the results, and can't wait to see it in print! He's having a cd release next Thursday, 8pm at Mercy Lounge. It will be wonderful, come out if you can! Here's an insight to his music: "Austin cites two of his influences as Claude Debussy and Jeff Buckley. Debussy's sense of romance and space and Buckley's willingness to rock and soar are echoed in his work. Envy uses strings, horns, and crackling electrics to round out his sound in a way that is classically indie."

Last week was spent in Black Mountain, just outside of Asheville, NC. I holed up in a cabin in the woods with my dear family. When I wasn't in the hot tub, playing card games, or cooking, I was sewing. Be on the lookout. Photoshoot coming up, right before Naked Without Us fashion market, this Saturday and Sunday, 1-10pm at Mai. There will be some great afterparties too, of course!

Envy the Moon

Last night, I was under the influence of some yummy wine and the exhaustion of a long day's work. Lying on a couch, trying to continue contribution to the sewing of Kris's Pinnochio costume. (best leiderhosen of the year, to be sure) Suddenly, I perked up at the mention of album art... to the tune of... ms paint?!

I just could NOT have that, especially to a dear friend, and ESPECIALLY in conjunction with an absolutely wonderful record. So, in a deadline of less than 48 hours, I am hoping to pull together amazing album art (to be reflective of content) for my favourite Nashville indian native boy, Austin Manuel.

Be on the lookout.

PS: On an unrelated note, I have fallen upon the best post-breakup music to date. Rotating Lily Allen, It's Not Me It's You with Mumford and Sons, Sigh No More. It's the ultimate mix. It is perfect to drive and sing with. You have your "Oh tell me now, where was my fault in loving you with all my heart" and your "f* you very very muuuuuch" in a cute British accent. Thank me later, when you and your loved one have departed.

Much Love!
