Ruby's delicatessen install almost done!

Ruby's ... just finished except for creating some sculptural type ....

It is fun to see it all come together. Here are some photos ... along with a little sketch of what the type will look like too.

PROJECT RUNWAY

Some great photos done by Clark Mishler of the event.

Cute photo of Sarah and Charlee - No. 6 and a nice one of the dress No. 69. Too bad Charlee got a bit tired ... will have to get some photos of her in her dress.

Ruby's delicatessen opening ...

The first part of February, a new delicatessen will be opening in mid-town. A extensive menu with all the things of a new york deli --- even matzo balls and loxs. I am working on environmental graphics right now ... those will be installed after the soft opening.

Object Runway

Putting final touches on my entry into object runway. It is definitely in the experimental category. & (ampersand) is playing with uniting forms, in a graphical, sculptural way. This event is definitely going to sell out -- buy some tickets now for the event on Sat, Feb. 6.

OBJECT/RUNWAY: FEBRUARY, 2010

I am getting my sewing machine warmed up ... and working on some sketches for this very fun event happening in February. I guess the judge is from this season Project Runway - Christopher Straub. I don't have a tv ... so I have never seen the show.

I think type will definitely be involved in my little piece. I am looking for a model though ....
