Valentines illustration in the “Spirit Animal” series.

I talk with the moon, said the owl
While she lingers over my tree
I talk with the moon, said the owl
And the night belongs to me.

“Bunny Boy” is part of an ongoing series of “spirit animal” drawings. Description: This wee rabbit boy naps in the grass as his companions watch over him. The rabbits perk up as their friends approach in the distance.

“The bear becomes our mentor. We must journey out, so that we might journey in. The bear mother enters the earth before snowfall and dreams herself through winter, emerging with young by her side. She not only survives the barren months, she gives birth. She is the caretake of the unseen world.” Terry Tempest Williams

As the freelance senior designer for Deli Magazine NYC between 2009 and 2011 I illustrated the food icons used throughout the magazine, as well as producing several spreads per print issue. The below work was created for the deli magazine, under direction from Art Director Kaz Yabe and Editor in Chief Paolo De Gregorio.
