Stuff I Like: My new iPhone Case, Compliments of Jessica Swift!
Earlier this year, I had the delightful opportunity of meeting fellow designer Jessica Swift at the Surtex show. She an extremely talented artist and incredibly down to earth. While shopping for a new iPhone last week, I was very happy to come across some of her designs at AT&T. I love my new case! She's coming out with a line of Rain Boots real soon - hopefully I can get a paint to match!

A Gaga A Day: Lady Gaga No. 1 - Hair Bow Gaga
 |
| Lady Gaga No. 1 - Hair Bow Gaga |
It's time for another series of illustrations by yours truly!
Earlier this year, in celebration of Black History Month, I did a series dedicated to divas. I had a lot of fun playing around with the subject matter and realized that, well, divas are my thing! I've always wanted to draw Lady Gaga, especially for Celebrity of the Month. And after illustrating her as Jo Calderone, I quickly realized that there are so many more Gagas to illustrate!
And that's how A Gaga A Day was Born This Way...
What better way to countdown the days to Halloween than with the Queen of Costumes herself! For the next couple of weeks, I plan to unveil a new illustration, depicting Gaga wearing some of my personal favorites.
Today, I'm kicking off the series with a classic - The Hair Bow Gaga. I hope you enjoy it - be sure to check back tomorrow for another one!
