Happy Holidays from RAWTOASTDESIGN
WOW...what a year it's been! Just wanted to take a moment to send out my sincerest "Thank You" to everyone for being a part of this journey with me. It truly would not be possible to be where I am and doing what I do with out the incredible support and constant encouragement that I continue to receive from all of you.
It really is hard to believe that just a little over two years ago I was arriving in this big city. I set out from St. Charles, MO on a cold November afternoon waving goodbye to my amazing family and looking onward to the complete unknown that lay before me.
The drive was made all the way from MO to NYC in a little under a day and I arrived at my first sublet with a couple suitcases, computer dangling at my side...and not a clue as to what I was actually going to do now that I was here.
After a year of experimenting with and reigniting my love for illustration things finally began to take off. Illo gigs have been comin' in steadily this year, The Quirkles (science experiments for kids) children's book series continues to grow, and rent has finally become manageable :)
I worked and traveled to dozens of art/craft/handmade shows selling RTD prints to people from all over the world this past year and I can't even begin to count all of the incredible people that I've met along the way that have influenced me positively during this journey.
I'm looking forward to the adventures that lay within 2010, and sharing those experiences with all of you. Have a wonderful holiday season this year!
All great things to you...
Best,
Jesse Kuhn

Tax Resource for Freelancers
I often get asked by other artists/freelancers about tax resources and if I have any recommendations for them. As RTD is compiling year end #'s and preparing to pay out good ol' Uncle Sam his final installment, it felt fitting to do a little link dropping too. RTD's go to resource for everything tax, and NYC tax related. MEDOWS CPA has been great during RTD's transition from St. Louis to New York City and is highly recommended to anyone currently searching for their own CPA. One thing that RTD has learned (the hard way) over the past couple years is that you really need to be preparing for this all year long...don't stress if you haven't though, give MEDOWS CPA a call and they'll help you get organized before it's too late.

Johns Hopkins University Illustrations
Spot illos for Johns Hopkins Alumni Magazine. The story was about three alumni who were recipients of Johns Hopkins scholarships, and what they're doing now. One is working with women and infant health/childbirth issues in Latin America with a main concern on making her current hospital "mother and baby-friendly". The second was about an alum who was a Rhodes scholar and went on to serve on active duty in Afghanistan. The third was about an alum who works with Catholic Relief Services in Ethiopia, focusing on empowering people in developing nations with food aid, and working on food/farming security issues.

2009 Year In Review: STL Mag
Illustration done for the St. Louis Magazine December 2009 issue. It was for a year in review article that didn't have a very long list of "great" news to highlight (job losses, political scandals, downtown turnaround, recessionary real estate, changes in crime, etc.). I liked the theme, "just keeping afloat," since it seemed to be a common goal for many businesses/people nationally in 2009.
This month marks my one year anniversary with St. Louis Magazine too :) Big thanks to Kevin and Danny for all the opportunities to illustrate for the magazine this year. Thanks to everyone else over there too for producing a great mag and continuing to commission and support illustrators through 2009!

Holiday Help Wanted :)
ho hO HO! The Holiday season is certainly here and papa commerce is right around the corner. RTD's art prints have several holiday craft/art markets that they will be participating in. I'm extending the invitation to one or two lucky folks to be part of team RTD this holiday season. It's no golden ticket to the chocolate factory, but you will be helping me find homes for all these happy little RTD prints over the next few weeks.
The dates would be November 28th & 29th, and the first two weekends of December, the 5th & 6th and the 12th & 13th. You will be working at my artist & fleas location in Williamsburg (1 block from the Bedford L stop) and it would be from 11:30-7:30 each day. I'm currently working on booking other shows, so I could have some other days available as well.
So if your dream of fighting crime or becoming a super hero hasn't quite panned out yet and you are looking for some temporary (paid) work to get you through the holidays, shoot an email to - info (at) rawtoastdesign (dot) com << (the "at" and the "dot" are for outwitting those pesky spam robots, if it outwits you, then you probably need not apply). Give a little background info on yourself, why you like RTD, and why you like being happy and selling stuff at the same time. Links to your FB pages, websites, etc are all welcome along with any other interesting facts about yourself too. All applications need to be in by noon, Thursday the 26th (gobble gobble). Early application is encouraged as I will give this to the 1st person I feel would make a great fit. If only five of the six dates will work for you, some flexibility could be possible, so please still drop me an email and let me know your "unique" situation. (xmas bonus to anyone who can do all six though :)
Looking forward to adding a new member to the RTD family!
Best,
Jesse / RAWTOASTDESIGN

Here's the illo that was done for this weeks issue of Time Out NY in the Own This City section. This particular story covers Open House NY, which is a city-wide event that opens the doors of private buildings, institutions, etc. that are usually closed to the public.
The idea was a through-the-keyhole, Alice in Wonderland type of landscape including several of the open house elements within it...Woolworth Building, Grand Masonic Lodge, The Lilac Dances, and the famous little Tom Otterness characters from the 14th St subway all running throughout it.
Check it out on page 35 if you get a copy or you can read the Own This City section here on their website too - http://newyork.timeout.com
Big "thanks" to Allison over at TONY too for bringing me in on this :)

Live, Nude Local Government - Utne Reader
This illo was done for the Sept/Oct Utne Reader issue. The article's focus was on Obama’s demands for transparency and accountability within the halls of state and local government. Where elected officials and bureaucrats are scrambling to provide spending data to the federal website recovery.gov. This allows all spending numbers to be viewed online by the public, already resulting in the identification of several inefficiencies that have helped put tax dollars to better use. Read the full article here - LINK
Always a pleasure working with Steph over at Utne!
