The Illustrative Work of Kim Scafuro

Bird with Teeth

This past Christmas I decided to make my sister a pillow based on the amazing show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. At first I couldn’t decide what exactly I should illustrate. Finally it dawned on me- the bird with teeth from Charlie’s dream book! It was tough deciding between the bird, chicken denim and the worm hat…
I was able to heat press my illustration onto some canvas, which is so instantly gratifying and CJ sewed it up for me. So fun- I hope to make more soon!

Here is a portrait I did a few weeks ago for the Spring issue of Buddhadharma.

Thanks Seth!

Secular Shiva

Last week I did an illustration for the NY Times weekend “Style” section. It was for an article about how to help friends and loved ones grieve at a time when religion is not as vital to the grieving process as it once was. The author speaks about how we take old traditions (such as sitting shiva) and make them modern- remove the religion and add the take-out food ordered online.

Thanks Barbara!

My talented friend Leah Mulartrick makes super cute jewelry as well as custom blinged out IPhone covers ( her stock at Free People sold out in 2 days…).
She will be selling her wares at the Brooklyn Bazzar tonight and tomorrow, along with some of my holiday greeting cards, prints and hand painted pins and necklaces.
Check it out!!

A commissioned dog portrait for the holidays…

This was an excellent way to occupy my time while I was laid up from some minor knee surgery earlier this week.
Thanks Jill!

Found these a few weeks ago on the internet, though I forget where at the moment. I have been thinking of doing a series of silhouettes lately now that all the leaves have dropped and the bare trees make such intricate shapes against fall sunset.

Tune Ups

A piece I did a few weeks ago for Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities, for an article on the S&P 500 and likening the fluctuations in the index to getting a tune up at a garage.

Distractions….

Last week I was asked to do an illustration for NY Times Business, for an article about how to avoid distractions in the workplace. This was a really fun piece to do since I got to paint lots of fun internet distractions. Honey badger don’t care!

Thanks Minh!
