A two-part tutorial inspired by my “Let’s Go To Monster School!” illustration is out on Vectortuts+ and Psdtuts+.

I have opened up shop! Icon Kitchen is my pet project. Mmh…finger-lickin’ good STOCK ICONS at palatable prices.

I published a fun tutorial on Instatuts.

One of my clients, Andy Law, has interviewed me for his blog.

All non-Italians see my name and think I’m a woman. I’m not!

Great news everyone: I just opened my sketchbook on Tumblr!

After three weeks of intermittent designing and one week of obsessive coding I present my new blog. The immediate changes are: a wider layout, bright colors, illustrations and birds! “Birds” is also the name of the theme I developed in Wordpress.
The new look caters to the necessity for the blog to reflect my area of interest (NOT birds, illustration!) and to accomodate large screenshots for my tutorials.

Popular design blog Vandelay Design has included wy website in this article about testimonials in web design.

Well-known design blog Inspiredology has featured my website in a recent article about cartoon characters in websites

Designers tend to be self-absorbed. It comes with the territory. When you make a living by creating things you better believe you’re good.

Lately I’ve seen many websites that boast quotes from famous designers (and CEO superstars hailing from infinite loops). I think they’re supposed to show the visitors that the owners of the websites, in many instances designers themselves, are in the know. It probably works but I wouldn’t know, I’m not easily impressed and I’m not a client. To me it just shows that so-and-so has read book so-and-so. Big deal. Anyway I decided to make my version of a design quote and I’m putting it on a T-shirt.
