bouhgt my first sunglasses ever, forecast says #heavyrain til wednesday. #perfect! (at New York)

i got the pleasure to collaborate with the illustrator and AD Nicholas Blechman on the last New York Times Book Review. 

a kaleidoscope pattern was made to illustrate the new Red Sparrow spy novel by J. Matthews. read the full article here.

the illustration is about how reality as we know it sometimes can be deceptive. so the kaleidoscope is there, can you spot what’s wrong?

and… speaking about how sometimes appareances can be deceptive… here you are one little treasure from Burn After Reading.

when something is so huge there are no words to describe it, just call Erin from @sullivanand3rd… she can make up words just for the occasion… GIGANTICO! (at Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream)

Chicks&Types completely renewed and redesigned form scratch. must say i’m very proud to show it. for the occasion a new gorgeous lady, Florence, has been added introducing an old time classic. the Optima font by Hermann Zapf

Bubbleboddy: a chunky font by Zetafonts foundry roundly designed by Francesco Canovaro and a new entry in the Chicks&Types project.

finally in my mail box… the Cyrano De Bergerac book i recently illustrated for Eli under the wise art direction of Daniele Garbuglia.
