What has Julia been up to recently?

New concert posters for Deb Oh and Ashley Brooke Toussant are here! I love doing album art and gig posters, and I'm always happy to work with such talented and sweet people =) Look in the music column on the left for the full size posts.

The 100 Days of Cleveland blog has received a lot of press in the last month. I was interviewed on NPR's Around Noon segment on ideastream, featured in the Plain Dealer by Connie Schultz, and mentioned in Michael K. McIntyre's blog, Tipoff. I've also gotten a lot of wonderful emails. Thanks for the support, everyone! (the drawing above is a new favorite of mine)

The 100 Days of Cleveland blog has been coming along steadily! I've had a lot of fun visiting old favorite places, being introduced to new places, and just appreciating Cleveland overall for everything it is.  Prints are now available online at www.juliaincleveland.etsy.com!

Here are just two of my favorite so far:

I recently did a cake topper for a friend's wedding. I'm not responsible for the amazing clothes (I can't sew like that!) but it was still fun to design, paint, and assemble it all together. (photo credit: James Liao)

Priscilla Ahn's new album When You Grow Up has come out in stores! I was so excited to catch Priscilla perform one of her beautiful new songs on the Jay Leno show recently- you can find it on youtube if you missed it =) Working with Priscilla, Gordon and Hayden went so smoothly and I'm really happy with how the art came out. For some reason, I'm most excited about the cd itself - this is the first time I've gotten to design a cd, and I love how it turned out with the combination of no ink / silkscreened waves. You can find the CD online at amazon - click here to buy it.  And last but not least, props to Sarah Fritzler for a great poster design! I really love her origami bunny =)

I've also been working on a new blog and sketching here and there:
