FIGS!

i can't be part of the FIG CONTEST on TDAC but i simply couldn't resist illustrating one of my favorite recipes from the California Fig Association...i added chocolate chips cuz that's what i do best.

Dial-a-Dinner on TDAC!

our super fun feature "Dial-a-Dinner"on TDAC is up + running! click here and give it a whirl! looks like i'm serving up salad, pumpkin soup and big fatty cookies for dinner. of course i've been spinning the recipes all day long...with a zillion hilarious combinations coming up!

let's color!

my recipe for "chick pea dip" is featured on TDAC today as part of the "get out your crayons and color" collection!

sock it to me!

last year i kept pestering (which i'm good at) my friend and fellow artist alex savakis to submit some designs to the "sock-it-to-me" sock competition. he WON! he sent me a pair awhile ago and here they are...keeping me cozy on yet another cold and damp ohio day. check out more of alex's work here.

cleaning the studio!

yes, i've been organizing. not an easy thing for me. i don't know why i like this silly shimmery wreath but i do. the hanging artwork pieces are originals by richard faust. extremely talented, unbelievably modest and 100% wonderful. here is a link to his site....visit his blog also.
