BURTON GIRLS: WOMEN ON THE MOVE INTERVIEW

While snowboarding can seem like a male dominated sport, the ladies over at Burton have been steadily churning out content for the better half of their consumer base via BurtonGirls.com.  I have been a fan of the site since I first met one of their contributors,  DJ and mic rippppper Jasmine Solano, and admire the way they empower women in and out of the sport.  Recently, Jasmine interviewed me for a special culture section, "Women on the Move" and I could not be more honored to talk about trying to make my way in the world as both an artist and a strong female.  Thanks to the whole Burton Girls crew for continuing to grow such a dope community for all of us ladies!!!  Read the interview here!

UPCOMING: Baumann Cosmetic & Research Institute

This entire month I will be working on my latest project, a large installation at the Baumann Cosmetic & Research Institute here in Miami.   The piece was initiated by the architects Shulman + Associates, who have just completed the buildout the of the new Baumann facility, and will act as the icing on the cake for an already beautiful design job.

For the last few weeks, I have been working on a special little project for the boys over at NFA.  Their new weekly party, WRECKHALL at Chalk, has become the best spot on the beach to catch good local vibes with my favorite local DJs (Keen One, Louie Arson and TonyG).

Every week my friend, the incredibly talented Rudy Duboue, has been snapping candid party shots that are so sick I started to draw them for the flyers (check out the pary pics here).  I pick my favorite image from the previous week and freak it on some Jessy Nite Tropical steez for the flyers.  Here are the ones I've done so far:
