A Moment in Love – Tiffany & Co Mural
(Photo’s by my friend Nick Bowser, my Sister Mandi, and me)I thought i would put together a sort of summary post of alot of the pictures from the Tiffany & Co. SoHo painting since it came down today. It’s really hard to believe that I finished it a week ago today. Time moves by way too fast. We had so much fun out in NYC working on the project, and it was so fun to have so many friends stop by and say hi! Thank you all so much for all of your support throughout the entire thing. My friend Nick Bowser took most of the photos. He was nice enough to come down and shoot while I was painting and David was live streaming. This project was extra fun because our older sister Mandi got to come out to NY with us. She works in LA as a architect, and it pretty busy, so it was special for us to have her along for the adventure. I think Nick is putting together a video. so we will hopefully be posting that soon. Also a lot of you have asked me if i’m going to add prints of the Tiffany’s Mural to my store. We are working on getting permission, and will let you know if we can do prints.
*A special thanks to Fashionista, Flare Magazine, Another Magazine, SGCNY, and any one i missed who has written about this project. Thanks for the Support :)
Book Update: We are now up to 333 pages written… so close to finishing this Book… well the first draft that is ;)
Live Painting Projects
Tiffany SoHo Day 1 Picture and Video
I finished the first day of painting at the Tiffany & Co. SoHo store. The print got installed and I began painting gold on the bodice of one of the dresses. I really like how it is looking so far. Also, David did some live streaming yesterday, and I included some of the video from that below. Sorry that we had some bad links to the streaming yesterday. We will definitely have a post up today where you can watch it. :)
Drawing Process
Tiffany SoHo Live Painting Day 1
The Day has come! I start today on my live painting project at Tiffany and Co.’s new SoHo store! This image is part of the rough draft (there are many more people in the finished version) of the piece. So the theme for the project is love. I hope you all think the finished painting fits the theme :) Because of the scale of the this project (15′ high, 34′ long) and the fact that I have only three days to finish, I realized the best thing to do was to begin the art at home, and finish the piece here in SoHo. Today, we are having a giant print installed of the work I did at home, and then I am going begin the final painting on top of the print and have the piece finished by Wednesday night. I’m really excited for you to see it! David will be live streaming me painting later today and on Tuesday and Wednesday as well. You’ll be able to view the video here on the blog and also on our Facebook Page.
Portrait
Chiara Ferragni
So, I recently started a new round of Blogger Portrait.. The last one was of John Jannuzzi and now my latest is my friend Chiara Ferragni. David and I first met Chiara at New York Fashion Week Fall 2011. We had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is super sweet :) I feel like it is very elegant looking and captures her well. I hope you like the portrait! Also, we arrived last night in New York and are in SoHo today getting ready to begin painting at the soon-to-open Tiffany & Co. SoHo store at 97 Greene Street. I’ll be finishing a mural there Monday through Wednesday. If you can come on by during the day, we’d love to see you! If you can’t make it, we’re are hoping to UStream some of the painting.
Volume 2
CSB 142
Hi Friends. Sorry for you the absence. As i mentioned in my last post, i’ve been getting ready for The Mural project for Tiffany and Company. Been working 13-16 hours per day for the last 7 days, just to finish it in time. I just finished the mural design last night. I’m pretty exhausted, but so happy with how it turned out. i can’t wait for you all to see it, and i can’t wait to get working on it in New York. David, my sister Mandi, and I are flying out this Saturday. I’m going to be painting in Soho next Monday through Wednesday (August 6-8). I will let you know the times i’m painting soon :)
The picture today is Character Sketchbook 142 of Gemma Ward. I drew this 3 years ago. i thought it would be a fun drawing to post for today. Are any of you watching the Olympics? What’s your favorite sport to watch so far?

My New Canvas
Hi friends!
I hope you had a great weekend. Well, got some amazing news for you all!
I’m happy to say, I have a new massive canvas awaiting me in New York!
I had the honor to be asked by the incredible Tiffany & Co. to come out in two weeks to paint a mural on the hoarding outside the new Tiffany’s in SoHo. Basically, I’m going to be working non-stop till we fly out there. So, if i don’t comment back, don’t worry, I’m planning on going back through all the posts and responding to you all. :) It’s just been a little crazy. I can’t wait for you to see the final art work. If you are in New York in a few weeks, stop by Green Street in Soho, and hang out with us as I paint. We’ll announce the exact dates soon. :) Hope you’re doing great.
p.s. I did an interview with Teen Vogue! Click here to Read it! :)
Concept Sketch Story Book
My Kitty Milo
Hey friends how was your weekend?
We’ve been worried about my cat Milo, who went missing last week. :( In honor of the wonderful cat that he is, I thought I would post a sketch I did of him. The Sketch was a concept for the book my friend, Sophie Ward, and I did. The book’s name is Ginger Marmalade Toast. We put up flyers of Milo today so hopefully we will get him back soon. He’s a good kitty.

Birthday
Danny turned 27
Hi, everyone! Its David here, and I’d like to take a moment to wish Danny a very Happy Birthday! I can’t believe he is 27! It is really crazy to think about. We have some celebrating to do tonight, but I wanted to share this old family photo from Danny’s birthday years ago. He was a cute kid :) I hope you are all having a great day!
Croquis
Ink & Croquis – Blast From the Past
Hey Friends!
How’s your Monday going so far? David & I are working like crazy on some exciting things hopefully coming in the near future. I can’t wait to show and tell you about it. We have a lot to do before i can post anything about it. I thought I would post one of my favorite Croquis, I did in 2005 in my Fashion Design class. I don’t know why I like it so much, because it’s super basic. But there is something I love about it. It was done with ink and water color. I really hope you like it. You have anything fun planned this week?
Book Update: We crossed the 300 page mark in our book today! It’s really hard to believe we have written that much! 60 more days till the rough draft is complete! :)
