I'm a book cover designer and art director based in New York and New Mexico. I've been blogging about home renovation, interiors, graphic design, DIY, food, cosmetics, dogs, art, music, books, and life in general since 1998. I could really use a cup of coffee right now.
she’s still as beautiful and elegant as when i first met her many years ago. is that the painting that used to hand in your old rhinebeck living room? love it.
Wow, your mom has glowing, beautiful skin. I can’t believe you got your her to model
a Morrissey scarf. My mom would say, “Isn’t this that guy from that band whose music you used to mope around in your room to?”
Love the paint on the back. It could be great if you could you it to us.
I like your blog and the way you post your ideas and your day-to-day.
Let me tell you that I’m one of those buying books by its cover, I really really like book cover design too.
hee hee! she’s lovely – and she’s got the whole catalog model thing down!
i especially like the last photo where she’s showing us just how warm and cozy the Morrissey scarf is. 🙂
Wowy Zowey! Did this woman give birth to you when she was like, 8? I love that you have her on your blog and that you obviously love her so much! She looks like someone who would be a lot of fun and good to know on a lot of levels, including being really easy on the eyes!
My mother is really one of the most fantastic people I know. Yes, I may be biased, but it really is true…she’s awesome in ways I can’t even count.
(Oh, and can you believe I have a brother 10 years older than me? I hope I age as well as my mother has. I think she might actually have started going in reverse at some point…)
Can you post a high-resolution picture of your mother’s painting? It is just so lovely and I am starting to learn to paint and thought I could try and copy it if that’s alright.

FACT: You have the coolest mother in the world. And I can see where you get your beauty from! So lovely. x
Your mum is lovely! And I need that scarf for my husband!
This is the kind of mother I want to be! And based on your various posts about her, I think you know how incredibly lucky you are 🙂
I love it when you post things like this. Lately you have been providing me with all my gift ideas for my Morrissey/ Eames loving husband. Thanks
It’s nice to know that morrissey is still in peoples life!!! Cool pic!!!
Oh, it’s MY scarf! Morrissey is still very much in my life. 🙂

My friend Christian is a huge Morrisey-fan. He, his friends and his mother travel around Europe to watch Moz as often as possible. She is 63!
One of these days I’d like to drag my mother to a Morrissey concert. 🙂
Your mom is so gorgeous!
Too awesome. I think I need that scarf in my life.
Your mom looks so lovely in the pictures but I think the warmth that exudes from her is what really captures me. What prompted the photo shoot?
I told her I’d give her $10 if she modeled my new Morrissey scarf for me!!
Cool mom! (“is that your sister?”)
and thanks for the Moz link (i would like to warm myself with this scarf!)…
(:
Wow, she is really working it! You have a beautiful Mom.

The painting is actually my mother’s work! In addition to being a Morrissey scarf model, she’s an artist and designer. 🙂
I am going to print off this picture and take it to my hairdresser. Your mom is super cute!
you guys look so much alike!
luuucky.

I know! She could work for QVC! 😀
Well, I say you definitely got your money’s worth! I bet she will use the money to take you to lunch… 🙂
Cute mama! Love this post. I’m going to call my own mother now:)
your mother is quite lovely!
I almost wrote that your mother was “hot”, but that wouldn’t be appropriate! Let’s just agree that she is a “vacker kvinna”. Ha ha
Ha, ha, I may have to increase my fee! Never mind that I cleverly sent only the pictures where my chin is cleverly hidden and the lighting just so.
Your mother is awesome! My mom wouldn’t even have a clue who Morrissey was although she probably would rock a Ben Affleck scarf if I gave her one.

your mom is super cute! who did the painting in the background? it’s really gorgeous…
She did!
Great photos!

Your mother is stunning.
