I've been so lucky over the past few years to have the opportunity to collaborate and work with so many talented people and this latest piece is a perfect example of that.  I teamed up with fashionista/blogger/model/ all around inspiring Jasmin aka Vintage Vandalizm and the founder of Delicious Dames turned photographer Revecka Natalia who did a photo shoot last year in NYC that inspired this latest piece called "Hip Hip Chin Chin The Rhythm Boogie". It was such a pleasure to work with both of these incredibly talented and creative woman who are always up for any crazy idea that pops into my head.

Next month I will be part of a group tribute show in celebration of legendary pin up photographer/ model Bunny Yeager. Below is one of two piece I created for the show. Olivia de Berardinis will also have a piece in the show so if your in Miami next month be sure to check out what I know will be a stellar show at the Harold Golen Gallery.

I'm so excited to finally spill the beans on this project. I've teamed up with model Lisa Love to create a vintage style paper doll that will be available for sale at Viva Las Vegas Car Show next month. I've illustrated a bunch of vintage style outfits and accessories for hours of fun!
