On Sunday, Adam and I had a Fondue Party for my birthday. Although, I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted it to be about the food and not me. We had a blast and people loved the goodie bags I made. I had done quite a bit of prep work weeks before the party. One [...]

I have received several emails about my Queensbound line from people who have found me on the internet. I have no idea how they got to me considering all the entries that come up before there is any mention of QB stuff on google and yahoo. I guess thats what makes the internet so amazing. [...]

Tony was a private in the 83rd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army in the Normandie and then in Germany. While he was shooting guns and dodging [...]

Sigh. I’m so irritated and discouraged today. I’ve been pushing my line into the retail market so I’ve been targeting local boutiques that specialize in promoting local artists and designers. Of course, all the hip Queens boutiques were so nice and were willing to see my samples, but I’ve been contacting Brooklyn boutiques and they’ve [...]

Here’s a prototype for my Ampersand Graphic Tee. I’m still working on the colors of the design.
I have always loved the Ampersand sign. Its small but can pack a punch design wise.I made this mixed media piece (and no. I did not make it on the computer–it exists on a 16 x 20 canvas) [...]

This women’s hoody is the latest addition to my Queensbound collection. I’m using the same blocks I’ve carved for the men’s tshirts. Since they don’t fit horizontal on women’s sizes, I turned the word on an angle and I love it.

New Yorkers have a bad rep of being mean and rude but I completely disagree. Well, except during rush hour on the subways. I grew up in Southern California and have lived in several major cities so I’ve been around all sorts of people, but I feel with all my heart that New Yorkers are [...]

Woohoo! I got into another boutique in Astoria, Queens. They immediately fell in love with my Signature tees. It’s nice to hear compliments since I’m constantly racked with self-doubt about this taking off. Well, that’s not completely true, I do doubt myself but most of the time I see a great future ahead. I was [...]
