I’m a graphic artist. My husband and best friend Adam and I live in our bad-ass co-op apartment with our sweet, but obstinate beagle Chomsky. Adam and I have been happily married for 5 years. He is an Executive Producer at CBS.
I decided to create a blog to show the creative process I go through when designing my tshirts. I have been working nonstop on my tshirt lines sice May 07 when I first came up with the idea to block print Queens-inspired shirts. I currently have two collections.
Ciara Couture offers luxurious vintage style tees for women. They are couture, super soft, super sexy and unique. Each shirt is individually printed and vary with each shirt. A perfect fit for the modern women. This line allows me to express myself as an artist.
Queensbound offers Queens-inspired graphic tees for men and women. I have lived in Queens for three years and absolutely love it, and wanted shirts to represent my neighborhood, Sunnyside. Of course, there are no cool shirts for Queens since Queens isn’t given the props it deserves. Any Queens t-shirts that do exist are so ugly and badly designed that I would be embarrassed to walk around in them. Now I can walk around with pride.
I Heart Queens, too…Nice concept and design…Good luck..!
