Jagger Portrait

     Out of all the rock stars and icons I've drawn over the years, I recently realized that poor Mick was missing, and so naturally I had to fix that situation, and it's as simpl
e as that. So here's portrait of a young, rebellious, "bad boy of the British Inva
sion" Mick, complete with his iconic pout. All that's missing is the chicken strut.

Happiest of birthdays to Eddie Van Halen

    

   
      I don't know what it is, but I have always had a soft spot for Eddie Van Halen. Of course, with Van Halen being the perfect marriage of rock 'n' roll and party music, who wouldn't love them, but there is something about Eddie in particular that makes me feel like I would like him as a rock star and as a person. It may be because of his fabulously cliché bad boy rocker marries America's sweetheart (Valerie Bertinelli) dream come true. Or the fact that they named their son Wolfgang. I honestly have decided I will be naming my son that. "Wolfie". Come on. It's adorable and it's cool. (Perhaps I'll be taking over Valerie's instagram handle "wolfiesmom" in the future...). Or maybe it's

A Little Late Night Coffee



                              

 

     I was at a Brimfield antique show (I go so often that trips become a blur), when snagged this gold and black coffee pot that immediately caught my eye when sitting on a table marked "$2", and I just love it. although coffee is generally a morning companion, something about the chic, understated, "Gatsby-esque" glamour of this piece (if you can describe a coffee pot that way) strikes me as something suitable for the evening. Tonight I'm in much

And That's A Wrap!

Christmas 2015



There's really no time of year I enjoy more than Christmas. Ever since I was young, I've always been happiest during the holiday season- even more than summer, spring break, or my birthday.


Buon Natale!







Merry Christmas (Eve)! I can hardly believe it's already here! While I love decorating, gifts, lights, dressing up, and delicious food as much (if not more) than most, it's so important to remember the true spirit of the season- as I try to everyday. But, even so, there's nothing wrong with indulging in some "commercial Christmas" festivities, and certainly enjoying time with your family. so as we Italians say, Buon Natale, and God Bless.

"Oh my my, oh hell yes, honey put on that party dress"

There's really no denying how much everyone loves a girl in a great party dress-even Tom Petty demands it in Mary Jane's Last Dance. from the sky high stilettos, to the jewels, to the sequins and furs, there's no time more exciting to dress up than the Holiday season. And as you surely know, a festive frock with a nod to decades past is my Christmas- or especially New Ye

A Rock 'n' Roll Christmas

In all honesty, I'll be the first to admit that as much as I absolutely love, and I mean love Christmas, Christmas music can seriously stat to wear on me. With the cheery, cheesy jingles bellowing through every store, restaurant, and home speaker on the face of the earth for a solid month, my desire for some gritty rock 'n' roll was at an all time high. So a few years bac
