Friday

covers!





happy friday! just a quick hello and some new work. july/august Food Network Magazine is on newsstands now and Andrew shot it with our friend, prop stylist, Paige Hicks, and Rebecca Jurkevich styled the food.
we're excited to watch some baseball and cheer on the angels this weekend while they're in town to play the yankees. also looking forward to seeing these guys and this guy play a free show in our hood on saturday afternoon.
have a great weekend everyone!

Sunday

summer tart



with such an early hot summer this year, the tomatoes at the market have already been full of delicious flavor! here's a simple tomato tart that makes a great lunch or dinner with some fresh greens on the side and a cold glass of white wine.

lots of new work to share with you soon. we've both been busy working for great clients like People, Food Network, Reader's Digest, La Cucina Italiana and more. we'll post some pics later this week but check out the july/aug Food Network mag for Andrew's cover and a beautiful feature on cherries! also check out both of our websites that have been recently updated with new work & tears.

are you on Instagram yet? both of us are and so are lots of other big leo artists - we love sharing behind the scenes, studio views, pretty props and of course lots of food! hoping to escape the city heat soon & really looking forward to this at the end of the month.

have a great week!
