![]() ![]() But we did … even recently, we were all together and there’s a lot of singing by the piano, which is one of my favorite things.Īt the same time while you were doing this, you were also doodling dresses, and thought you might grow up and become a fashion designer. I quit when I was in fourth grade, which I still am very sad about that, that I didn’t-Īnybody that has kids that’s listening to this that want to quit piano, don’t let them. ![]() Both my brothers and my dad are all incredible piano players. And then I was Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar, which was performed on parents’ weekend an uplifting performance not so much, but we grew up going to Broadway musicals, and we’re definitely a very musical family. And then I was Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. I think my last three years I was a Doo-Wop Girl in Little Shop of Horrors. And it’s funny because then I would later go on to slowly grow within camp, getting bigger and bigger roles. And I think I even, when I went to day camp, I was either told this memory or I have this memory of getting up on stage and crying at an end of this summer performance. And I was a little shyer when I was younger. I went to this camp, Point O’Pines, in Upstate New York, and it wasn’t a theater camp, but I think you had to participate in the plays. I read that you grew up singing and acting, and even did theater at a sleepaway camp. I feel like the combination of my parents and growing up in New York City, where it’s the hub of culture, and fortunate to grow up around theater and fashion, and just people-watching lent itself to being exposed to creativity so early on. And I also have a younger brother who is also very artistic, and my mom is very creative, and my dad is actually still rocking out in that cover band. So would it be fair to say you grew up in an artistic family? Your brother is a filmmaker and a cinematographer. Carly, you’re a native New Yorker, but until very recently you lived in Los Angeles, and I understand that your dad played for a long time in a classic rock cover band. Actually, I think Lois and Janice would be good friends. ![]() I feel like there’s a world where they kind of almost blend into one another. I hope people stay on after that piercing noise.Īctually, I have to tell you, I can do an impression of Lois from “Family Guy.” And I know that you used to draw “Family Guy”-esque type characters. So I don’t know if you want to hear it or not in your ear. And I don’t know at what point I declared this, but it’s pretty loud and piercing. Carly Kuhn, welcome to Design Matters.Ĭarly, is it true you can do a spot-on impression of Janice from “Friends”? She joins me now to talk about the turns in her wonderful career. Her fashion drawings on Instagram got attention, but she was culled out of the entertainment business, where she’d been working, into the life and labor of a full-time artist. If you smush the word sartorialist together with cartoonist and add a dash of artist, what do you get? Well, you get Carly Kuhn, that’s what. From the Groundlings and “Chelsea Lately” to fashion illustration, textile work and beyond, Carly Kuhn-aka The Cartorialist-may not have set out to become an artist, but she became a brilliant one. ![]()
