TYE at Nucleus Gallery

As some of you guys know I did a contribution for the Terrible Yellow Eyes project and surprisingly my piece made it for the art show that Nucleus Gallery in California is curating along with Cory Godbey. When I received the official notification from the gallery and the invitation to do an extra piece, I couldn't resist the offer so I did it. Here are some pictures of my two paper-cut pieces included in the show this next September 19th till October the 6th.

More pictures can be seen on my Flickr.

Announcing my very exciting Birthday Competition!

The competition is now closed! Thanks for all you brilliant entries. I'll be announcing the winner on Monday 5th October

Well I promised to show you what I wore to my birthday party last night and it's taken me all day to get it together. I've been recovering on the chaise from all those carrot cocktails and don't even get me started on my paws - I danced all night long! So anyway, SURPRISE! it was a fancy dress party. Did you guess? I left a little hint on my Japanese shoji screen yesterday. I had a total of 12 outfits, that's roughly two outfits an hour, It has to be a record! (click on the pic for a closer look) I loved wearing them all, it was so much fun and as I am feeling super happy it means I am also feeling super generous....

...to celebrate my big day I am holding a very exciting competition...

One lucky winner will not only win a gorgeous limited edition print of my birthday outfits (Top pici) they will also become the lucky owner of a Tag and Go Satchel with the 'Fifi In The Sky' print that I designed for LeSportSac...

...and I'm throwing in a pack of best selling postcards to boot!

To win all 3 prizes all you have to do is tell me 3 random facts about yourself in the comments section below. The Competition will close exactly a month from today on 25th September 2009. Oh and remember make sure you leave some way for me to contact you (blog link, facebook, myspace or email etc.)

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all a bit better!
Good Luck!

Zappos Concept

Recently I was commissioned by M&C Saatchi to develop a few conceptual illustrations for a series of TV Spots for Zappos.com
The time was very short but I think they turned out well for a pitch concept.

Sunshiney Giveway!

Sonny and I went to the seaside today so I thought I should wear something appropriately sea themed. It was a lovely sunshiney day - for once! and we enjoyed the carousel and the ice cream. YUM

By the way I spoke to Ruby and she still hasn't decided what puppy to get - she is so indecisive it drives me up the wall!! I'll keep you posted on that.

Heads up - I've contributed a lovely prize over at The Bright Side Project. I thought it was a worthy cause as I'm all about looking on the sunny side of life. The prize is any print of your choice from my shop and a set of my best selling postcards. To win you have to tell me your fave outfit and explain why you love it so. I'm loving reading everyone's answers. you can enter here.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Semana de la Publicidad en Cali

Se suponía que debí haber dado una plática en la Universidad de Cali en Colombia durante la semana del 10 al 14 de Agosto pero desafortunadamente durante mi viaje a Buenos Aires tuve algunas complicaciones migratorias y mi proceso tardó mucho más de lo normal, la embajada retuvo mi pasaporte por casi 15 días y me fue imposible asistir a dicho evento. Hoy es 15 de Agosto y todavía no cuento con mi pasaporte.

Quisiera por este medio ofrecer una disculpa a aquellas personas que me invitaron y a la gente interesada en asistir a mi plática durante el evento, este incidente desafortunadamente estuvo completamente fuera de mi control y mis planes de viaje se complicaron afectando otros proyectos que tengo en curso.

Espero tener de nuevo la oportunidad de viajar a Colombia pronto.

De antemano muchas gracias a todas las personas que han mostrado su interés y de nuevo, lo siento mucho :(

Muchas gracias!

Happy Friday

Yesterday was serious puppy heaven. I was quite tempted but then Stella gave me a wounded look as if to say I would be in big trouble if I bought home one of the yapping squirts that were hanging off her ears.

Ruby's still making her mind up but I'm gunning for the Boston terrier

(have now given up trying to get spotted!)

Heinz 57

Today Ruby and I are puppy shopping. We have a number of appointments with various breeders. She wants a pure breed as apposed to moi and my Heinz 57 mutt Stella! It's funny because that is so the opposite of what you would expect from both of us...

...still hoping to get spotted!

Fifi Moon Cakes

To celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival I am appearing on specially created boxes of moon cakes for Dallian Times Square a lovely designer shopping centre. They look yummy - and the cakes look pretty nice to!

Street Style

It was gorgeous weather here yesterday and I hung out with Sonny in London town. He insisted on paying for me to have my portrait drawn by one of the artists that hang out around Piccadilly Circus and although at first I was totally skeptical about how the dude was going to interpret my massive ears (caricaturists can be so cruel!) I was quite pleased with the results. I'm planning on hanging it in the hall next to my Barbara Hulanicki original - praise indeed!

On Saturday

On Saturday I wore Alexander McQueen...
I feel like I'm about to go into battle in this steely grey ensemble, in a way I guess I am - Got to persuade Daddy to lift my credit limit after a week of serious spending!
