Snow Monkey TEA & Holiday Cards

I've teamed up with The Clipper Ship Tea Company to produce the HOTTEST tea of the season -
SNOW MONKEY!

Inspired by my Snow Monkey series, it's a delicious blend of Green Tea, Lavender, Blueberry and Vanilla - REALLY REALLY good! YUM! The owner Melissa is quite the mix master. And I'm not just saying that. Tastes just like my painting looks - it's eerie, you just have to try it.

Stop by the shop this holiday season. If you like tea, you'll flip out - And if you don't, you may be converted. It's located at 80 Main Street in Northport, NY. They are also selling my Snow Monkey holiday cards and signed prints, framed and unframed.

The owner and I are in cahoots now, planning something really cool and potentially BIG. Be on the lookout in 2012...

Also, just released the image as a holiday card, available individually or as a ten pack.
Check out my Etsy store for all the details.

Delight your friends and family with this tranquil image, the perfect remedy for the upcoming holiday MADNESS!

Dean Martin - Westchester Magazine

Got an illustration appearing in this month's Westchester Magazine of Dean Martin - Ring-A-Ding DING! - on the Yonkers Pier for a story about song lyrics that include lines with Westchester references in them. There's a bunch, ranging from Lil' Kim to Steely Dan.

Here's some sketches...

“We went riding, she didn't balk / Back from Yonkers / I'm the one that had to walk.”

Cheers Aiko!
