Sheila E., 2009, by Fernanda Cohen

Happy Friday, collectors! Spring sprung with snow in NYC today, but I've got some sunshine for you in the form of Fernanda Cohen! I love catching up with Fernanda, especially when Miss Sheila E. is involved! Impossibly Sheila E. has been the topic of more than one conversation of mine this week. Something good must be going on! Fernada made the above illustration of the eternally foxy drumming goddess for the Cut to the Drummer opening in Canada last month.

"Screaming Friends," is from a personal project,"Dog's Best Friend," which earned Fernanda an Honorable Mention from the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles IW 47 competition.

This illustration was recently completed for Glamour, Germany:

Fernanda has also illustrated a tote bag for the Brooklyn art collective Third Ward:

Presently Miss Fernanda is hard at work designing 4 t-shirts for Gap (PRODUCT) RED. I'll keep you posted on that. In the meanwhile, visit her site for more brilliant, bold and playful illustrations.

Fernanda's 20x200 edition: Hot Dog and I is available to you here in all three sizes.
