I sat down (virtually) with the ever lovely Josephine Kimberling of Highlight Real Podcast to talk all about the highs…

Postcard from The Hamptons 💌 I can’t even beg

Postcard from The Hamptons 💌 I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for this past weekend 😭. It feels utterly surreal to be enjoying life so fully like this once more. I know many of you are still in various stages with the pandemic so I hope this post stands as a reminder that the light is coming!! I also just want to express the biggest thank you to my darling @MelanieBrandman who is truly my family here in New York. I don’t know how I would have gotten through this past year without you. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, laughs, and hugs. I love you so, so much!! Sending you all so much light tonight xx MM

TWD Puzzle Appreciation Post 😆🧩. How incredi

TWD Puzzle Appreciation Post 😆🧩. How incredible to see my artwork come to life in this new way!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to every single one of you who continue to purchase these puzzles from all over the world 💖 (Bermuda, Germany, UK, Canada, and France, to name a few). What an honor. I cannot wait to release more product categories for you in 2021!! Where/what product categories would you like to see my art on next?! Happy weekend, darlings xx MM

Summertime Magic 🤩🌴✨...it may or may not b

Summertime Magic 🤩🌴✨...it may or may not be raining in NYC right now, and I’m most definitely designing art for winter holiday 2021, 😂 but I’m in a SUMMER STATE OF MIND. After the year we’ve had, how could we not be?! Anyone with me?! All my love xx MM

Loves, since I’m currently working on my first e

Loves, since I’m currently working on my first ever partnership for a holiday stationery collection (🤭🎄!!), I’m throwing it back to my @marieclairemag commission for their “SHOES FIRST” event back in 2013. This was the last time I worked on stationery and the first time I worked with one of the blockbuster fashion publications in NYC. I just about fell off my office chair when the email came through my inbox. Illustrated product design + Marie Claire Mag = pinch me moment 😆!! In many ways, I feel like my career is coming full circle these days. So nice to look back and remember how far I/we’ve all come!! The road may be winding but never EVER doubt that you’ll get where you want to go!! All my love and happy long weekend, darlings xx MM

Today my @MarriottBonvoy family and I officially k

Today my @MarriottBonvoy family and I officially kicked off our first project together of the year 🥳!! Joy, hope & all the good feelings to be working together once again doing what we love most!! But even more so because we are focusing on a visual “Love Letter” 💌 theme to a very special country that is forever in my heart. Any guesses which one it is?! Pssssttt the hint is in the photo 😉!! I cannot WAIT to share more of this special collaboration with you all very, very soon!! #MarriottBonvoy #SummerTravel

Had an itch to see my “New York Minute” 🗽 i

Had an itch to see my “New York Minute” 🗽 in a BIG frame so I headed to Blick and found the perfect one!! This piece holds such a special place in my heart for so many reasons. I have a sneaky suspicion she means a lot to many of you too as she is the most popular print from the new “CITY LOVE” Collection 🥰💖.

A great trick when framing artwork is to increase the size of the overall piece with white mating. It draws more emphasis on the art itself and ensures breathing room on a gallery wall. Oh and p.s., I’m excited to give you all a tiny glimpse into my revamped office space behind me. I went through quite the overhaul in this room in January and I’ve never felt more calm and at peace here xx MM

Loves, are you dreaming of Summer travels like I a

Loves, are you dreaming of Summer travels like I am 🤩🌊☀️?!! In truth, I’m still pinching myself over the fact that getting to Europe this Summer is possible 😆. I’ve got a few projects I need to settle here in NYC before relocating elsewhere for a bit. If I’m honest, I’ve been meditating a lot on renting a place in Paris 🤭, revisiting Italy as seen above, and Bali in the Fall LOL. A girl can dream, am I right?! Let’s see what the universe has in store 😉✈️. I’d also love(!!) to know what you guys have planned!! Have you booked summer trips already? If not, where are you hoping to go? Leave some ideas and inspiration below. All my love xx MM

Snagged a copy of the @WashingtonPost with my illustrations on the FRONT PAGE of the BUSINESS section 📰😭!! As a commerce grad turned illustrator, let me just say, this was a moment!! One of my most sacred NYC traditions is running straight to @CasaMagazinesNYC to take a pic with my published works, and Mohammed and Ali G too of course 💖.

I’ve been busy working on a 7-piece fashion illu

I’ve been busy working on a 7-piece fashion illustration commission and it honestly feels like I’m reacquainting with an old flame 😂. I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I drew pure fashion! My head and heart have been so preoccupied with thoughts of travel this past year that I forgot about my other first love! Excited to share this project with you soon but for now I’ll leave you with this pink NYC moment; a combo of two of my classic illustrations 💖🗽✨. Have you missed the fashion in my feed? Let me know below! Sweet dreams, loves xx MM
