Zulu Nation

Blog hiatus is gladly coming to an end, as I settle into Nola life.

Moving around so much has actually left me with a funny nagging feeling of "Am I actually going to stay in one place!?" I do miss Paris dearly, but it just takes a little Mardi Gras to melt my heart for New Orleans. It's impossible not to lose yourself in the sounds of the marching bands, smiles of the crowds and the taste of fried chicken. This city really is Magic.

Ended out the parades with Zulu yesterday.

Out + About

Avant Garden was a wonderful - Lots of great vendors and artists. Thanks to all who came on out. I created postcards, hand-bound notebooks and stationery. Looking forward to making more!! My buddy Erica also joined me with her re-purposed vintage jewelry (bottom photo).

Big thanks to Erik K for organizing such a great event.

Getting ready to shoot my brother (+ future sis) invites. Wanted to share a sneak peak.

Alsace Inspiration

Digital Prints

Wanted to post a glimpse of a little bit work from this year. This is a sample of work from my digital print collection I created this last year.

Making the jump from a very 2D world to 3D, wasn't easy for me, but I think it helped broaden and develop my personal aesthetic. I'm excited to continue exploring...

Waffle Quest

Just one more food post! I swear I'm eating carrots for the next month straight.

I've openly declared my love for pancakes, well I'm also partial to it's close cousin the waffle. With my parents in town, I took the opportunity to go on a glorified waffle expedition, AKA a trip to Belgium.

Together we embarked on a search for the elusive (not so much, I ate 4 of em') liege waffle. Before leaving, a dear friend sat me down and schooled me about what to look out for - Forget those square traditional waffles - head straight towards the irregular shaped ones + make sure they're FRESH! So we made our way through Bruges and Brussels, seeing the sights, filling our bellies and washing it all down with some Kriek.

Well with a limited time schedule, but careful consideration - I can say hands down most delicious + freshest liege waffle I tasted during my stay came from vitalgaufre.

Before + After

Went on back to London Town with my parents. Being their first trip, we made a mandatory fish + chips stop at Geales. Yes it's big + yes it's fried + yes you need a nap after, but it's worth the trip.
