Had a great time at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo this past weekend with Shaanti Williams of Whut Good?. I made two new zines for the expo which will be up later this week on Etsy. Special thanks to all the lovely darlings that came out to see us!

The opening reception for Chanel Vs. Harajuku was a grand time! There were a ton of people who came out include a few classes from SHOWA. Cat took some great pictures of the reception that you can see on her flicker stream.

Many thanks to the UForge Gallery for creating such a fantastic show!

The Plaid Cupcake featured my illustration "Nosferatette" for her article on mental vampires that keep you from completing goals. Check it out!

STUFF!

There was an excellent write up in Stuff Magazine about the Chanel Vs Harajuku show. Here's a snippet about my piece:

"In Harajuku No. 5, artist Kristilyn Stevenson reimagines a famous Chanel No. 5 advertisement that featured Marilyn Monroe dabbing the fragrance on her décolletage. 'The imagery flips the ideas of Chanel upside down and signs it with a street-fashion twist,' says Stevenson. She replaces the original's black-and-white photography with a cartoon-like combination of bold ink lines and gouache paint. And instead of a blonde bombshell, Stevenson portrays a fanciful femme who looks like Princess Toadstool gone 'Sweet Lolita,' a Harajuku style with an especially childlike take on the whole sexy-schoolgirl look. (Think: pink. And kind of creepy.)"

If you're Boston local, come to the UForge Gallery this Saturday for the opening reception of the show!

"Very Late" is featured in this cool food zine called Pixelated. It's available in the Athens Bazaar Etsy Shop.

Harajuku No. 5

I'm in the Harajuku vs. Chanel show coming up at the UForge Gallery in JP. It will be up tomorrow at JP's First Thursday through September.

With Uforge's September theme of Harajuku vs. Chanel artists were faced with the fantastic challenge of creating an image that melded a fashion district known for it's fast and unusual teen trends and a fashion label that built it's name on timelessness and elegance. I've always been a fan of Harajuku fashion, even before Gwen Stefani marched back into the pop scene clad in super cute Japanese girls, so my piece features an Elegant Sweet Lolita (one of the many styles of Harajuku inspired by the Rococo era) striking the iconic pose of Marilyn Monroe in the famous Chanel No. 5 perfume advertisement.

The opening reception is on September 10 - check out the details here.
