Basel Bound

While it was artist Anna Sweet's incredible series of women swimming the most exotic of waters that first caught the eye, her Jellies posses a truly, truly exquisite imagery as well.

Busy weekend ahead. Basel bound (Miami, Art Basel that is) and looking forward to catching Ms. Sweet's work live (as well taking a long shot to ask her to commission a piece!). Then it's off to San Diego to catch client Andrew Gachkar and the San Diego Chargers take on the New England Patriots as well as reconnect with stylist Kali Kirk of In Spades, Aly Brady of Written and Worn and Alisa Rottenberg of Daisy Mae PR!
