Watched nearly a hundred films in total with my kween @elanaschlenker to art direct and design this book of movie recommendations for teens from @a24 as a follow-up to their Kids version published in 2024. Illustrated beautifully and tirelessly by @b_virot. ❤️ Through working on this book I got to watch a lot of iconic films for the first time (Point Break, Akira), revisit old favorites (A Brighter Summer Day, Happy Together), and discover new gems (Linda Linda Linda, Show Me Love). I must have taken like a thousand reference screenshots in the process. I feel lucky to play a part in how these films are potentially introduced to teenagers and to have had sooo much fun with my work wife @elanaschlenker in doing so. <3

Archiving some old work this week including this cover story on the global fertility trade I art directed and designed for @businessweek in 2025. @magalicazo painted four different watercolor eggs for the split cover, corresponding to the four main female subjects in this 32-page piece. Spots of the ovulation process punctuated the interior pages. Photo editing by @aeriel78 and Marie Monteleone. 🖤 by @whoremone

Design and art direction for the @fieldmeridians Observer, a new quarterly neighborhood newspaper highlighting local news and multispecies, published at the turn of each season and distributed for free to the Crown Heights community. Our first issue is tied to the winter solstice: inside, find a warming soup recipe, the joy of winter birding, and a calendar of the season’s best activities round a snail’s snowy shell.

Fonts by @studiohanli and @haltypefaces. ☘️ Masthead customized by @celinehurka. 🪲 The cutest illustrations by @lilliansell and @thomcolligan 🐌 plus some previously published art by @mariamedem for MOLD. Edited and published by the fearless @linyee_is_outside. And copy edited by surprise guest star @_shayan_ :) Grab a free copy in the Brower Park library and many other Crown Heights spots soon to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by @whoremone

Soooo excited to finally share Texas!, a 624-page hyperlocal travel guide to the lone star state, which we (@elanaschlenker 💙 and I) art directed and designed for @a24 as a follow-up to Florida!, published 3 years ago. An ode to big open skies and bluebonnets, Texas! is as blue as Florida! is pink … and about eighty pages chunkier (because, of course, everything’s bigger here). 🤠

Edited tirelessly by @margaret__rhodes and illustrated by the phenomenal @clayhickson who never failed to blow us away whether he was drawing us broncs, butterflies, or boobs. 🐎🦋👙 Also featuring some sweet photography throughout by @eric.ruby and @timothyoconnell_ who helped capture the amazing weirdness of this big state amongst a broader roster of amazing photographers who also contributed to this book.

Huge thanks as always to the @a24 team: @_shayan_ and @gourmet_bathing 💙 We loved working on this book and can’t wait to share more (on top of the million spreads we already squeezed into this post hehe). by @whoremone

Risoprinted program menus, part of a larger visual identity @elanaschlenker and I designed for @sculpturecenter’s annual spring gala earlier this year. Themed around 10 (X) years of Valeria Napoleone XX SculptureCenter programming, we designed sculptural X’s that stretched and modulated to create a flexible multi-dimensional backdrop for the identity. Printed by @luckyrisograph in 4 colors. 🩷💙💛🖤 Thank you @zina_reed for thinking of us for this! by @whoremone

A little peek at the new identity for @icapittsburgh (formerly the Miller ICA). Our (me and @whoremone) rebrand coincides with the Museum’s move to an expansive new building scheduled to open in 2027, so lots more to come!

Shoutout to @polytypefoundry for his expertise finessing this cutie of a monogram and to ICA founder and director Elizabeth Chodos for the opportunity! by @whoremone

First post of 2025 goes to this puzzle zine for @a24 as a companion to their horror movie Heretic. Designed and art directed together with my final girl / ride-or-die @elanaschlenker 🧟🖤 who was willing to stream the movie with my wimpy ass at 11AM on a bright sunny Tuesday. Illustrated beautifully by the most amazing @katharinakulenkampff 🐀🦋.

Like the girls in the movie, the reader is trapped in a spooky house and has to puzzle their way out to safety. Puzzle construction by Brooke Husic and Will Nediger. And thank you as always @gourmet___bathing + @_shayan_ for thinking of us and letting us have fun with these things :) by @whoremone

Had such a blast art directing and designing this special package of 32 rules to air travel for the latest issue of @businessweek. Adorably illustrated by @millievonplaten who fittingly and unglamorously worked on part of this while on a plane. We break down who owns the right to control the window shade, the maximum number of falcons you can bring on an airplane (six), why bottled water is marketed as a premium flight add-on, and the ultimate strategy to boarding.

Favorite part of this project was sneaking a strange red dog into most of the illustrations, (Richard-Scarry-Goldbug-style). No one is sure how he slipped his way into this turbulent journey but he’s a fun one to try and spot! 😛🐶 by @whoremone

More favorite spreads (and movies) from Hey Kids Watch This! by @a24. Whenever possible, @elanaschlenker and I tried to have the illustrations speak to the stylistic choices in each movie to reflect the diversity of films in this book. This meant that the amazing @anna.haifisch drew floods of red for Zhang Yimou’s color-driven wuxia epic Hero (2002), sketchier lines for Ale Abreu’s handcrafted Boy and the World (2013), oversized bugs to match the magnified insects of Microcosmos (1996), and limited herself to shades of gray for B&W films like Young Frankenstein (1974) and Pather Panchali (1955).

And of course including some of my favorite film stills here as well — including this iconic zigzag scene from Kiarostami’s Where Is The Friend’s House (1987) in slide 5. IYKYK! 📚⛰️👦🏻 by @whoremone

For much of 2024, @elanaschlenker and I spent our nights watching (and live-texting) nearly a hundred kids’ movies from a list curated by the folks at @a24. The result: Hey Kids, Watch This!, a 278-page flush-cut hardcover book of adult and kid-approved movies for family movie night, art directed and designed by the both of us. As someone who was shown The Silence of the Lambs by my parents when I was about 10, this book would have been really useful back then...

Gorgeously illustrated by the incredible @anna.haifisch whose illustrations really jump off the page (sometimes literally!). Big thanks and love as always to the best folks at A24 @gourmet_bathing and @_shayan_ for all the trust and care with this one, and to James Cartwright for editing. Had so much fun goofing it up with @elanaschlenker who I literally love to bits and I can’t wait to share more fav spreads soooonnnnnn by @whoremone

Design and art direction for the latest @businessweek cover story on the delusion that mass DNA testing would get us anywhere and how that poses an existential threat to 23AndMe. Fun fact: This opener was the first time I was able to use high school biology knowledge in my actual career. Thank you @uninspiredbycurrentevents for some beautiful DNA art. But most of all thank you to the editor who accepted my challenge that all drop caps in the piece be either A, C, G or T. :P by @whoremone

Designed this week’s cover and layout for a @businessweek investigative feature on the alarming rise of sextortion scams targeting teenage boys on social media. The messages sent to these boys are often cruel, taunting and unrelenting. Desperate and afraid, some victims have been driven to suicide.

All text bubbles on the cover are taken verbatim from court documents and how-to sextortion videos online. Brilliantly written and investigated by @oliviacarville, with beautiful photo commissioning as usual from @ryanduffin and photographs by @kevnserna. by @whoremone
