This bandana was a collaboration between myself and Our Music My Body, an initiative dedicated to promoting safety in music venues and the music scene in general.
Collab with Chef Alia Dalal: One Big Healthy Family Tote
I hand illustrated the tasty veggies that appear on this tote (all in the cruciferous family—get it?)
Personal wellness chef and educator extraordinaire Alia Dalal design directed the concept, coming up with the visual and the layout, while I supplied the drawings. It was a match made in heaven! We donated half of our proceeds to Purple Asparagus, a wonderful organization that supplies nutrition education to children in underserved schools.
You can buy the bag right here.
My friend Kate Grube (costume designer and keyboardist) and I collaborated on this project, with me doing the illustrating and her doing the typography and layout, as well as sewing the fabric together to shower curtain size.

'She Dreamed'
Being a kid usually means feeling limitless possibilities. When children hear that they can be anything they want when they grow up, they don't just hear a doctor or an actor or a fireman (or firewoman), they hear a dog, a plane, a bird, the sun...This little sketch was inspired by that, when the boundary between magic, imagination and reality are still beautifully blurred by innocence.
An illustration of Wanda Stopa, a young Chicago woman circa 1920, who is portrayed in Paul Dailing's story on 1,001 Chicago Afternoons. Dailing's project profiles Chicagoans, places and events, creating a rich local archive that will be treasured for years to come.
