& who are you…?
I'm Lenora!
I'm a Brooklyn based, pink-haired space cadet in search of a more visually delicious universe. I do illustration, design, fine art, photography, modeling, makeup and party-throwing. It's awesome.

Friday Face #1 – Stevie C
I present to you, Stevie C. She’s a fire-spinner, poetry-writer, party-rocker, and has one of the most adorable voices ever. She also makes an excellent glam-pirate, as you see here. She’s also the beginning of my personal “Illustration Friday” project, where in order to practice my drawing skills, I’ll draw weekly images of my friends. [...]
VividBraille Illustrations
Newly posted work in the Illustration gallery! This is a series of fashion illustrations I did a few months back. This summer, I traveled to the Hamptons on a photoshoot for VividBraille. They’re a clothing company that mashes up modern and vintage influences with a message. It’s refreshing to see clothing that goes beyond visual [...]
Halloween Recap
Since I have a near-obsession with all things futuristic and space-oriented, I decided to spend this Halloween dressed up as a “Space Assassin”. Most people were confused by my getup, trying to figure out who I was supposed to be, which was essentially just an imaginary character of my own design. (Though I did get [...]

I honed my web design chops on Geocities, almost 9 years ago, at age 14. It was my original HTML playground. I started doing web design [...]
Nonsense NYC at 3rd Ward
Last Saturday, I went to the Nonsense NYC party at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn. For those not in-the-know, Nonsense NYC is a mailing list that curates all the wonderfully whimsical, weird, and unexpected parts of New York into a weekly events listing. It’s been an intrinsic part of my life here, since I first discovered [...]
Bombay Dreams Illustration
New illustration, done for an upcoming party in Toronto thrown by RefugeNYC and RoyalPink! The party is called Bombay Dreams and I was asked to do my reoccurring girl character (you’ll see her in my other flyers I’ve done for Refuge and Newmindspace) in an Eastern style. I took my inspiration from the Lakshmi, the [...]
Artitronic at Club Exit
Last weekend, I participated in an excellent art party at Exit in Brooklyn, called Artitronic. Artitronic is the brainchild of Jay Clue and DJ Dali that synthesizes two of my favorite things: “banging beats and dope artwork”. They embody a similar ethos as Lowbrow Society (which is my art collective), in the fact that they [...]

This I Believe
When I was a freshman at Parsons, three years ago, we had an assignment to write a one-page essay in the vein of an ongoing radio segment called “This I Believe” on NPR. This is my most recent version of that essay, and I think, a good way to introduce my new blog. I believe [...]
