2009 Calendar

My 2009 Calendar is now available in my Etsy shop! I made it myself, and included 12 of my personal favorite drawings from this past year as well as a cute “Flirt” cover. Perfect as a gift, or for those of you who may have had trouble this year settling on which one print to get! =)

Gocco Collection from Here Gallery

A little hand-touched gocco print of mine was recently included in a cool collection of gocco-printed art from an international group of artists, including Magic Jelly, Jill Bliss, Julie West and many more. The Here Shop in Bristol, UK, put together the collection, Even Dwarves Started Small, to celebrate the gallery’s 5th anniversary.
Only 50 sets were made, but as of this post there are still some available for sale in their Etsy shop! I got mine in the mail this week and I absolutely love each piece as well as the collection as a whole!!
I’m looking forward to having a show there in 2009! =)

“Scintilla” 12×12 Acrylic on Cradled Wood

“Nimbus” 12×12 Acrylic on Cradled Wood

My artwork on Anthropologie.com!

I have been DYING to share this - I think you’re gonna like it!

If you go to Anthropologie.com, then click on the “ADORNED” link, then click on “Wonderland“… something really cool happens. ;)

THEN, if you hold the mouse pointer over the “Menu” button at the bottom, it turns into a dragable navigation window…

AND, if you hold the mouse pointer over the accessory pics, all this other cool stuff happens…

I am a huge fan of Anthropologie and I am so excited and honored to have my artwork on their site!! It was such a fun project doing these illustrations, and their web/design team did an amazing job puting it all together & making it work! Hope you enjoy it!

Happy clicking! =)
