For the third photo for my Learn+ episode with Lindsay Adler I wanted to do something really silly and fun, so I knew Kari Kerning would be PERFECT for the concept. I think my favorite moment from the shoot was Julie needing to baby bird chewing gum into Kari’s mouth to keep her vampire tooth from falling out (they had only met that day). Anything for the shot!

For my second shot in the workshop, I thought it would be fun to revisit one of my favorite photos of Trixie Mattel and see if I could re-VAMP it for Halloween. Who better than "Monster Girl" Jake McClellan? We used 82 lbs of candy for this shot, and all of it WILL be eaten (but we saved all the PEZ for Lindsay Adler). Check out Lindsay’s latest Learn+ episode to see how we achieved the shot! And while you’re at it, check out Monster Girl in Hebgb TV now on Tubi! 📺🎃

And a GIANT shoutout to Eric Griffin for designing and 3D printing this custom “Human Girl” mask in like 48 hours!

Spooky season is officially here! I had the INCREDIBLE opportunity to be a guest photographer for Lindsay Adler Fashion Photography in her monthly Learn+ series—this month it’s all about spooky drag! We each walk you through 3 shots from concept to final product, and this first photo is none other than Pissi Myles ❤️ She’s Miranda Priestly meets Lydia Deetz and she’s bored to DEATH. Subscribe now to see how we created this shot with nothing but tomato cages, pool noodles, and a dream.

I’m still on cloud 9 from going to San Diego Comic-Con for the first time this weekend and seeing my booth designs in person! I’m so grateful to have gotten to work on the branding for Mattel Creations at SDCC this year and work with such an incredible team to bring it all to life. I’ve never designed for a booth this BIG before, but my favorite part? Getting to illustrate Skeletor’s Havoc Staff!

I’m SO excited to share that I’ll be speaking with Adobe LIVE this Thursday! Join Jess Kirkman, Jeremy Holder, and myself for a behind-the-scenes chat about our latest campaign: Mattel Creations REVEALED! 🚀 Learn how we nailed our digital strategy and got creative with our assets.💡

Had such an amazing time today speaking to graduating design students in the NY area for Adobe! Getting to connect with the students made my heart full, definitely makes me miss teaching ❤️
