Spa La La La La

New, for the Baltimore Sun. Art direction by Leeann Adams, with Jay Judge.

The article describes spa offerings in Baltimore designed to combat holiday stress. Treatments like "Hot Toddy for the Body" and "Chocolate Brownie a la Mode" are surely as delicious as they are relaxing. Yum!

Happy Holidays from VLI.

Here's to a peaceful 2013.

icy editorial

I made this image recently for Jay Judge, head of visuals at the Baltimore Sun. The article was about a new type of plastic surgery that freezes off those last few stubborn pounds. The procedure is recommended only for those who don't have tons of body fat to lose.

In other news: The image is so tall and thin, I tried to pair it with another similarly shaped illustration on my website. Twice. It didn't work, and my husband suggested adding a dress. What do you think? Click here to see, then come back and let me know.

Thanks!

Summer Splash

I made this image for Jay Judge, Head of Visuals at the Baltimore Sun. The article (published July 5) describes how frustrating it is for lifeguards, who tend to be ignored by kids and parents alike. With Jay's approval, I painted this one with watercolor—"training" to paint an upcoming book for Duopress.
