I’ll admit it. I used to haaaate florals. But Karin? Karin brought the florals back, and now I can’t get enough. Would love this piece over my nightstand someday.
Also, swans? Creepy in real life. Cool in art.

This piece looks all so mid-century, right? The colors, the shapes. Yes!

the dailies: color me katie.
You guys have been begging for more Dailies (and I don’t blame you!), so it’s time to deliver. My sweet intern Marisa lined up this goodie for us, and whoa. Seriously. Say it again. Whoa.
If you’re not familiar with The Dailies, it’s a series where we stalk follow a day in the life of a creative individual, from dusk ’til dawn. Everyone loves The Dailies, and if you don’t… well, then. Crap.
Anyway. Color Me Katie. I swear, you guys — this girl has mad talent. A card-carrying member of Improv Everywhere, Katie Sokoler has the most colorful perspective on the world than anyone I know. She has an awesome photo wall, plays with sidewalk chalk and turns snow into sno-cones.
Anyway, I’ll let Katie’s schedule speak for itself. Read on!:
–
8:00 am
Time to wake up! Morning is my favorite time of the day because the light is so pretty and soft.
8:20 am
I stumble over to my computer to check my email and put on music so I can sing in the shower.
8:45 am
….and sometimes dance.
9:20 am
I like to put a plate of seeds out on my fire escape to feed the squirrels and birds. But It’s mostly just to entertain my cat Moo, who likes to watch them from the window.
9:45 am
I make tasty coffee for me and my love.
10:00 am
Time to get to work! Tyra Banks is using my photos on her TV show next week so I need to go through and edit them.
11:30 am
All done and time to send them!
12:00 pm
Now it’s time to make a project for my blog. I’m making some fun silhouettes to put up on my wall. The first step is to cut out people from pictures.
12:30 pm
Then I trace them onto colorful pieces of paper and cut out the shapes.
1:30 pm
My wall just became a bit more colorful and fun!
2:00 pm
Posting the photos on my blog.
2:30 pm
Since I work mostly at my computer from home, I try to take a walk every day so that my head doesn’t explode!
3:30pm
Walking around my pretty neighborhood gives me time to brainstorm new ideas and fun projects to work on.
4:00 pm
Tomato soup with an egg? My favorite!
5:00 pm
Moo babysits Big Frog and Little Frog while I clean their tank.
6:00 pm
Back to the computer. Now it’s time to answer lots of emails and interviews!
9:00 pm
Matty and I have a big feast at a cozy restaurant and then go home to watch old movies.
12:00 am
Night!
