Another new holiday art set is ready for the fair! I spent the entire day and night yesterday working on it and cranked out 12 3 x 4″ drawings, scanned them in today and assembled them in mini-poster format. I’m debating also offering them as an ACEO set or possibly as their original size as [...]

It’s approaching the holiday season, and while common sense says I should have been working on holiday artwork about 3 months ago, of course I am scrambling now with less than a week before my very. first. holiday. craft fair! *applause* Ok it’s small, but it’s a start.

Wow this Summer is flying. It seems that every week or weekend I have something going on that takes me away from being able to relax and enjoy the Summer. Gah! After this upcoming weekend, I’ll be finished with the Summer theatre program I’ve been teaching/music directing. But there is no rest for the weary just [...] June 3rd, 2010

This came to me in the bathroom, of all places… I like to zone out in the bathroom and think [...] March 15th, 2010

Meet Timothy Sweetmeadow, the latest cute cavy to grace my Etsy storefront. I was doodling in my sketchbook and had a drawing of a guinea pig, and I randomly added a hat and scarf to him and I was like, “oh my god he looks Irish. How cute!” (and convenient with St. Patrick’s day coming up) [...] |
