i ❤ moo

Next weekend, I will be attending Book Expo America in NYC, for duopress. We've been working on various printed promo material for months in anticipation of this event—which is a biggie, and about which I am hugely excited! I'll share more news and photos as the date approaches.

I personally had these business cards printed at moo, whose innovative options make my heart sing. The site is beautiful and user-friendly, and I couldn't be happier with the cards. Nice box, too.

I ❤ you, moo.

Earlier this year I made these little paintings for my publisher / author friend Mauricio Velázquez de León (duopress), for him to leave behind as thank you gifts after events at various bookstores. Mauricio, a.k.a. "Puck," wrote Doodle New York, the book he was promoting. The cab image was inspired by a doodle activity in the book, which I illustrated.

All of the paintings were done on small wooden plaques, ready for hanging. The top one, in acrylic, was a gift for Mauricio and his family—that's them, in the cab. We've made so many books together, I've lost count.
