I have a best male friend.  Yup, just like in the movies.  Shane Edelman. The perfect best guy pal ever.  Not only is he the coolest mutha in town for so many reasons, married to the wicked talented fashionista star maker, Natasha Silver of Community Service Showroom,  but I also kinda wish I WAS him.

Having established a name for himself in showbiz as an actor (in just about every movie and he played my hubby in Motherhoodlum, the web series I created, directed, wrote, etc) and a director, he's been seriously hunkering down with another one of his true talents, art and design.  A gifted and established painter and textile/fabric guru, he's turning his eye and hand to graphics and bringing his talent right to you.  You may have seen his logos on some clothing lines at Anthropologie or his Forever 21 tee-shirts.  I'm obsessed with my market bag that he designed for Rory Becca  (above) and it's my go-to bday prezzie gift. 

Now he's kickin' out websites, invitations, logos, identities and branding and his shizzy kicks ass.

Check out his site for recent work even if you're not in the market.  Serious eye-candy!
