For the kiddos

Good morning friends. Today I thought I'd show you 2 new prints I illustrated with intention for a child's room. You can find them for sale for $12 in my Etsy shop. I wanted do design something simple, colorful and cheerful. They are small; 5 x 7, so these would work great in a small frame on a dresser or simply clipped to the wall. The paper is very thick (soft 100% cotton I use for wedding invites), so a hole could even be punched at the top to thread some ribbon or string through to hang it on a hook or doorknob. Happy Easter everyone! I'm off to get the house picked up, run errands, and do some client work. I hope you enjoy your Friday!

The Art of it all

Hey everyone! It's a rainy and dreary day here (as usual for March) and I'm happy that it's the first day of Spring! Woo Hoo! Not that we'll see spring weather yet, but we're getting close now! March usually shows rainy weather all month, so April should start to show improvement. Today I thought I would share 2 new Fine Art prints with you. Of course, I enjoy doing letterpress notecards and stationery. But I have the "fine art side" to me that has been itching to get out for a while now. I remember I used to draw or paint every single day. Sadly, now, that is a rare happening.
But I'm getting back in the game with these prints now for sale in my shop. These are not letterpress; be warned. But each has it's own little back story (you can find the write up for each in the shop). I'm pleased with how they turned out, as this idea has been in my brain for a year now. I plan to do a few more in the theme soon. Have a great Thursday; I'll see you here tomorrow with some work great for babies and children.

Press Alert!

Hey everyone! Woo, it's hot out there! Just a quick note: My new limited edition prints were mentioned today on Poppytalk I'm so honored to be mentioned on her blog in the fresh/affordable art entry. I was also mentioned this past Friday on the ever-amazing blog DesignSponge. So exciting! I'm thrilled to get mentioned by these amazing design sites; and be amongst so many amazing artists and designers out there. It feels good to be making art again and to be making it affordable for everyone. Well, it's a busy day so I'm off. I've got to work on several quotes (this will eat up most of the day), finish printing for a wedding and ship it, and send out shop orders. I'll follow it up with some invoicing and emails and call it a day! (blah). I hope I can squeeze in some sketch and design time today; but sometimes the business side of life takes over, you know? More soon!
