screeprinting workshop

A small organizational success of recent years is that I’ve become better at actually filling the appealing moleskine journals that I can’t stop myself from purchasing. Despite this seeming triumph of productivity, they have become a useful procrastination device.  If I find myself unable to focus, I generally begin to clean (it’s just about the [...]

pc_chineseenvelope

I’m planning a Chinese New Year/Purim celebration, and got it in my head that I wanted the invitations to look like the red envelopes that are given out with “gelt” in them. My friend Aron did the Chinese calligraphy and scribe Julie Seltzer did the Hebrew. They both say “gong shi fah tzai”, a wish [...]

Screenprints and 40s

This is a short editorial piece that I was super excited to be asked to write for the publication Museum ID. I reached new levels of procrastination preparing this at 3 AM on deadline, but I think it came out in a coherently rambly style that feels like my voice. It’s the first written piece [...]

TAC Postcard_facebook

This is a postcard I created for the teen program, “Monsters, Munchies, and a Movie” at the CJM. We don’t really have a teen aesthetic, so I had to dip into the adolescence I remember all too often, and try to create something that would appeal to teenagers in a non-pandering way. Being as juvenile [...]

Shrink plastic sketches of blood cells. Now I need to figure out what to do with them. Necklaces? Earrings? Talismans to bring good clotting? Share on Facebook
