Amphibious Landing
Turn over many a flat rock or peer into the almost neon green mosses in the Berkshires and you will delight in finding these “salis,” unreal in their hyper-orange, almost gelatinous bodies. I still like to hunt for these amphibious creatures. Their brilliance lingers, and inspired me to create this print, an homage to their form, color and gentle sweetness. And now, anyone who shares in the wonder of discovering salamanders can enjoy them in a playful duvet cover.
Produced by the newly launched BYCO, the first micro-financing site exclusively for designers, Salis will be featured for sale for the next 60 days.
Salis the duvet cover is printed on one side on super soft microfiber, and has an invisible zipper closure at the bottom. Salis is available for sale in full, queen and king sizes until October 11.

Coming Soon to a Sofa Near You
I just completed a licensing arrangement with DQtrs, a cool San Francisco-based home decor company. Later this summer, DQtrs will be producing and selling a collection of limited-edition pillows, featuring illustrations I drew of my own collection of vintage bracelets. Initially, the collection will be five themes with bracelets on both pillow front and back, in luscious and subtle palettes. The first series of pillows are close-ups of the links.
After drawing them and observing the bracelets for a while, I began to personify them—as I am wont to do—which led me to seeing several of the illustrations as metaphors for hooking up. In Relationships and Courtship, the bracelets appear to be making attempts to connect, and link up as their clasps approach each other. Will they ever touch, embrace and lock in?
