The New York triplets

Hello 2014! Seeing as it is now January, it is probably safe to share the rest of my holiday commissions. These triplets were a beast to finish but I loved the results (and luckily the sweet lady that commissioned them did too!). 

I was contacted by Pamela back in December, who wanted a photo album to give to her daughter for her New York trip memorabilia. In order to make room for future New York visits, the project quickly evolved into three albums! Throughout the albums there are illustrations of iconic New York monuments and other little bits of the city, including pink Magnolia blossoms to tie all three albums together! 

There are more iconic spaces on the backs of the albums too. Everything from the Public Library lions and Central Park, to the entry buttons from the Metropolitan Museum and Playbills. It has been years since I last visited that city so it was a fun challenge to recreate all these famous sights in watercolor! There are some more photos of the triplets on my website too.

  1. Hi! Just wanted to say your work is amazing! I had a peak at your books, illustrations and sketchbooks, and I absolutely loved it! Ummm can we be friends?! :) There is nothing more inspiring than seeing other peoples sketches and works, and you have totally given me inspiration to pick up where I left in my own sketch book wanderings. Thanks! Have a great day! xo Kat
