Happy New Year! I haven't written on here in forever. Have a slew of new designs.
Wedding suites!
These were the new holiday card designs for this past Christmas! Time to start working on new ones for 2016 :)
A few new invitations and an update of an older invite :)
It's been a pretty intense couple of months - between working on tons of new projects and the etsy holiday season. I'm just starting to feel caught up with everything! Here are a few of my favorite pieces from several of the books I've worked on in the last few months.
Two pieces for my agency's annual 'Heads Up' project. For this project, we're encouraged to work on pieces that showcase subject matter we don't usually get to work with. Had such fun working on these :)
I've had a couple of very intense months work wise so it was nice to take a step back and make some portfolio pieces.

A fun new Christmas card in two colors has arrived in my etsy shop!
I'm working on a few more that will be out in the next week or two.
It's been an epically busy couple of months filled with illustrating everything under the sun. I don't have much to show you because of confidentiality.
For now - noah's ark.

I've gotten tons of requests the last few weeks to make a 'spring' version of my save the date cards.

I recently signed up for Lilla Rogers Make Art That Sells (MATS) bootcamp and am cooking up coo coo clocks with my fellow campers this week. I'll try to post what I'm working on as we go along! Excited to loosen up a bit.
Some new 'Save the Date' designs for the etsy shop. Working on full wedding invitation sets for a few people but will eventually make some full sets for the shop.

Another collaborative piece with
Sharpshirter.com! Elephants and espresso. Some experimenting this time with having the animals interacting with the food pieces. This will be available as a sweatshirt in the next month or so.
Pandas and popsicles should be available next week on their site!
Hope everyone had a lovely thanksgiving holiday. I've just finished the marathon of Christmas cards.

A fun piece for my agency's annual 'Heads-Up' project. We were supposed to create a piece with a subject matter we don't usually work with. Little critters, vehicles and diggers it is! Needless to say, it will now be a subject I avoid.

I've had an indexhibit site for a few years now and have always wanted a clean, colorful and fun website. After playing around with a few different hosting/website creation sites I ended up going with
squarespace. I haven't finished playing with it yet but I love it!
The format really seems to suit the more simplistic style I've been working on for the last few months.

I was recently approached by the Events Officer of Chartwell House, under the care of the National Trust, to do a series of paintings for their upcoming winter exhibit 'Gifts of Power'. As Chartwell was Winston Churchill's family home, I was of course more than delighted. The paintings feature Rufus I and II (Churchill's miniature poodle I featured in my book 'War Dogs') as well as Jock the cat, who 'still' resides at Chartwell.

More Rufus
Jock himself:
You can see these paintings as well as other features (and perhaps even Jock the Cat) at the 'Gifts of Power' exhibit at the Chartwell Estate this winter. This project was a major thrill! I'll hopefully be able to post photos of the exhibit itself sometime soon.
Many thanks to Emily Christmas for approaching me with this project and to Zoe Roberts for taking over.
