If you’re heading to the Society of Illustrators’ MoCCA Arts Festival in NYC this weekend, you might see people sporting a tote bag I illustrated for the School of Visual Arts to promote the summer residency program where I teach. This was a very fun collaboration with Viktor Koen, one of my former teachers now colleague in the MFA program, and the Chair of the BFA Comics and Illustration departments as well as founder of the Summer Illustration Residency.

I also spent a few hours reviewing portfolios of prospective students and visiting a few friends who were tabling. It’s always so inspiring to see the volume of work from this community. Best of all, I scored a bunch of my pal ShinYeon Moon’s felted vegetable creatures. Aren’t they amazing?!
