How to use ONE ROLL of wallpaper: Furniture Makeovers by Barb Blair offers tips on how to use Juju for a home accents
A lot of people write to me because they love Juju, but they can't commit to wallpapering the walls either because of their renters status, or because of the expense of multiple rolls. Barb Blair offers some great alternatives to "the whole room" by adding splashes of pattern into the decor. Check out this piece that she made with Juju Papers' A View of the Woods in White. It only used one roll!

The Diner Journal!
Some of you may already know the Diner Journal, founded by the good people that brought you Diner and Marlow and Sons in Williamsburg. It is food as told by a contemporary voice that hasn't been edited to death. Anyhoo! I did some illustrations and collage for their latest issue, Number 24. The incredibly talented Tom Dean of Lostwoods Prints did the front and back cover, and I did the inside flaps along with the collage for a story titled Nonnie. Here are some of the recipes featured in this edition

I love this lady! Karen Combs of Nama Rococo
I really admire Karen Combs' beautiful line of wallpapers. So much that when I first saw her work I went to North Adams to meet her in person. Sure, she probably thought that I was a little creepy . . . but now we're buds! You can truly see how I get my dork on.
Thanks for the pic, Karen. XO
Gray Magazine, Whereby I give props to Pop-Pop
Gray Magazine asked me where the inspiration for my Salad Days design came from, and I told them about my 90 year old Italian grandfather who has an outrageous recipe for every weed, flower, and root in your backyard. He also has great stories about making stew "at the bummy", (translation, hanging out at the homeless encampment in the forest near the tracks), stealing hams from railroad cars, dubious dandelion wine theory, the list goes on and on . . .You can read all about it in this issue!
