Happy de Medici

Here's a recent painting from a set that we did as a Christmas gift for Eric's brother and sister-in-law. It's a portrait of their dog, Happy.

Sampler contribution for March

We have gotten together a contribution to the Sampler for March. It's four different designs of some little 4" x 5" cards.

Crafty Scientist Illustration

We just recently finished this illustration for the Crafty Scientist Experimental Design Lab. It's a great site, you should check it out. I love the "Failed Experiment" earrings (and only $5, too!), and of course the button set with our little spot illustrations of beakers and microscopes. And, not only is she a crafter, but she is a real scientist as well!

Illustration Portfolio Site Update

I redesigned my illustration portfolio site to include categories for kids, teens, and editorial/other custom illustration.

Attention Hog!

What can I say except, "Ohmigawd! My BFF is totally crushing on this hottie at school, and whenever she's around him, she turns into a garga-normous flirt!"
Yep, that's right. More illustration for the teen market.

Okay, I admit it. Garga-normous is a word that my coworkers made up to replace "gi-normous." It's a combo of gargantuan and enormous, for those of you that didn't get it. Try it out. It's the hot new word that EVERYBODY'S talking about!

Illustration Friday - Phoenix

Hello Scottsdale! Are you ready to ROCK???
We are THE PHOENIX!



This is my third week in a row participating! I'm on fire! HA HA! I do NOT apologize for the bad pun!

Academic Jealousy Illustration

Some good old fashioned academic envy.

Read Illustration

I'm trying to do more black and white for the portfolio. I had a few pieces, but decided I didn't like them and threw them all out. I've been inspired now that I have recovered from the Christmas doldrums and feel energetic and creative again!

Illustration Friday - Peace

Here's this week's Illustration Friday, "Peace." I have actually participated for two weeks in a row! It's been a long time since I've done that.

My entry for Illustration Friday's "Help."

Bags at Copacetique!

Copacetique has a new stash of my bags available, as well as a whole slew of incredibly cute items! I especially love the necklaces from Art School Dropout.

We are girls!

We are girls! We are multicultural! We are awesome!

Giant powdered wig

I have been developing a bit of an obsession with ladies with big powdered wigs lately. Maybe it's all those commercials for the Marie Antoinette movie that were airing not too long ago. Maybe I'll develop this into an illustration for Cinderella, or some other fairy tale.

I Shop Indie Gift Guide - buy handmade for the holidays!

With Black Friday fast approaching (the day after Thanksgiving), I wanted to post about the new I Shop Indie Gift Guide!

Instead of the rampant consumerism that characterizes Black Friday, consider buying handmade this holiday season. The I Shop Indie gift guide has gift suggestions for Guys, Girls, Mom and Dad, Coworkers, and more!

Illustration site back up!

My illustration site was down for a few days (stupid webhost!), but it's back up and running again.

New purses!

I just finished a whole slew of new bags which will be posted to the website soon!

Nutrition can be fun! Just finished this illustration project for a nutrition chart.
