Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

November 20, 2018

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

This event is always the official start to Thanksgiving morning and the holiday season! There’s nothing better than spending time with those you cherish most watching giant balloons, cheerful clowns, confectionery floats and ending with Mr. C. himself.

Macy’s, I do indeed BELIEVE!

Miracle on 34th Street

December 3, 2017

Miracle on 34th Street   watercolor on paper

🎄🎥 There's nothing quite like cozying up to a favorite holiday film, and seeing what feels like an old friend who only comes to visit once a year. This is my newest illustration and interpretation of the classic scene at the end of Miracle on 34th Street. And here are the flicks that made it to my personal top five favorites:

✨ 5. "Rudolph" ✨4. "It's a Wonderful Life" ✨ 3. "The Nutcracker" with Elle Fanning ✨2. "The Polar Express" ✨ 1. "Muppet Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens ✨

And of course I love Miracle on 34th Street, in its charming and magical black and white cinematography!! 🍬🎅
