TOOFLY NYC

I’ve been on a roll this past few weeks creating new designs for my spring product line. I recently created my latest die-cut bubble sticker at 4″X3″. It’s been a minute since I made one. I believe the first bubble sticker I made was back in 2005! Almost 10 years ago. Everyone’s jumped the boat since then. It’s all good cause while everyone’s biting your style and your ideas your originating them. True skill over hype anyday baby!

Toofly Die-Cut Bubble Sticker $3.00 www.tooflynyc.com/shop

My first ever tote is hot off the press! This past year I created a few new ink drawings. Recently I started messing with them as new designs for t-shirts and totes. The “Native Soul”  image was one of the very first drawings I started this whole series with. I love the hair flow, and native patterns. She’s my favorite so far. $25.00 now exclusively available on my online shop

I can’t believe spring is right around the corner! Time to gear up on some new goodies for the shop and prepare for the Ladies Love Project SP/13 Pop-up Shop. I have a few items in production as we speak, and a few that have arrived from wonderful new printers. It’s been a minute since I produced a postcard set. This year I decided to get some of my favorite paintings, illustrations, and walls into a 5PK postcard set. The printing quality is beautiful! The set is now available on my shop for $10.00  www.tooflynyc.com/shop They’re going fast! Might have to re-stock soon…

2013 is off to a great start! I have some new product designs in the works, as well as fresh new clients on board. Giving thanks while I adjust my sails in a whole new direction. It’s time to get to business and draw, paint, teach, photograph, organize, travel, and most of all design! Here’s a sneak peek at my latest T-shirt graphic “NEW YORK CITY” A tribute design to my hommies back home, and our beloved city. The TF marker skillz on this one are on point. Available in a few weeks exclusively online: www.tooflynyc.com/shop

I had given up doing toy customs but figured what the heck. I’ll rock one more! Kidrobot invited a few of the graff girls to rock a Munny during their Pop up Shop at Miami Art Basel. My schedule was so hectic during trip I didn’t get chance to stop by the showcase:( I’ll try and dig up flicks from the show. Until then here’s a sneek peek at my completed Munny Warrior. She came out DOPE! Thank you Phi for making it all happen on such a short notice. Luckily I had a chance to paint her while I visited my sister in Ft Lauderdale and everything worked out smoooooothly. Whew!

NEW 2Fly stickers have arrived! Love these. Woke up one morning sketched it out, digitized it, and it was off to the printer. It’s been a minute since my last sticker design. Looking forward to getting these up on my next set of trips this fall. If you want some you can now get them on my shop🙂

The XCIA book app has been released on itunes!!! Download yours on your ipad, or iphone to check out some exclusive footage of a mini Toofly movie animation. Had a lot of fun working on it with the whole team. Kind of bummed the rest of the footage didn’t make it. The work involved in doing a stop animation is a very long process especially for a few seconds of footage. Props to the stop animators out there, I know it’s hard work!  The chosen footage for the Toofly “spotlight” is cute, thanks guys:)  Check out the ITUNES PREVIEW

I couldn’t be happier:) Here’s a sneak peek at a recent design project I just completed. A limited figure called “Bodega” toy designed by Kano.

HELLLLLLO SPRING! My favorite season of all. A time to come alive again, and spring up with a fresh new look. I’ve been busy working on some new goodies for ya’ll. Happy to finally get a chance to share them with you on this special day.

There’s an array of (((NEW))) items with lot’s of pop colors and native designs as well as the classic NYC graff styles you all love. The mini graffiti canvases were a great hit during the holiday so I decided to make some for the shop for all to enjoy. I couldn’t wait to work with my wood crafter guy again. I was out of stock on a bunch of items. The holidays wiped me out. The eco-block rings continue to be a huge hit season after season so when I finally got a new batch to work on I got busy painting!

The designs are as colorful as ever, and come in various styles. Our new special item, the embroidered flower earrings, was a lot of fun to work on especially because it’s a collaboration between my mom and I. I love these designs! I have always wanted something this colorful to wear with my spring dresses. Make sure to cop yours they are extremely limited in numbers.

I’m really inspired living in South America these days, I hope you enjoy the new Toofly steelo flowz:)

Really enjoyed working on these new illustrations. Especially since much of the inspiration will become part of my next print series! I’m all set up and starting to flow again. Once internet was up and running I set up my studio. Bought a couple of plants, comfy chair, long table, and a cute little lamp. With pencil, paper, and a mac, working up high in the mountains is bliss. I wake up to sunshine almost everyday, and the birds chirping away:) I’m in love with time right now…I have plenty of it! No need to rush anywhere. I draw, paint, design like a true artist should. Feels really good so far. In time I will share my adventures. Till then look out for what’s to come this year, and cop your special T’ at the TECH BY SUPERWOMEN EVENT!
