Elizabeth Peyton at the New Museum

There are so many interesting exhibitions throughout the city this Fall and if you have some free time over the holidays I would definitely recommend heading downtown to see the Elizabeth Peyton exhibition at the New Museum. Her portraits have a wonderful intimacy (often despite their subjects) and I was deeply impressed by her unique way of working with oil - which does not always come across in reproduction. Plus, in person the colors positively vibrate off the wall.

Blue Ribbon in New York Weddings

More exciting news (for me at least)! Blue Ribbon's Printemps Save the Date is included in the current issue of New York Weddings. The sample that's shown in the magazine is printed in a custom yellow and chocolate brown colorway, but this design looks amazing in just about any color and also works well as a one-color design.
