Three Small Works

Here are three little drawings of pretty ladies that were recently included in the Small Works Exhibit at Sager Braudis Gallery in Columbia, MO.  I meant to post this when the show first opened, but... you know how it goes.  Anyway, the show may be over, but these are still available through the gallery. Give them a call if you're interested! I'm always happy to show work at Sager Braudis!

My Work In: Where Shall We Now Roam

Hello! It's been a while... I miss posting here. Hopefully I can get back into sharing more this way and not just quick images on instagram. We'll see! Anyway, I just wanted to share these eleven drawings I have in the current exhibit at Artlink. Mostly done in pencil, watercolor and gouache. The show "Where Shall We Now Roam" closes in a week, so if you're in town, check it out!

Oh Comely Magazine Guest Illustrator

Back in June I was invited to be guest illustrator for issue 27 of Oh Comely Magazine. What an honor! This assignment was quite open, asking for a series of four drawings based on the theme "body". I had so much fun inventing and illustrating this strange story…  And packing as much personality as possible into each little character.

I also created a couple crazy patterns and some little spot illustrations. Oh, and there's an interview and portrait of me, too… Woah. You can purchase the issue here. Art prints are available at Society6 (huge sale this week: free shipping + $5 off each item).

Astronauts + An Interview

Just a tiny Friday post to tell you about this new interview I did for ZIIBRA. Check it out for info on my process, inspiration, etc.

And here's my favorite drawing from this week, "How to Share a Wrench". It still kinda makes me chuckle.



Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

My Work on ZIIBRA

I'm excited to tell you about my freshly launched shop/portfolio on ZIIBRA.  This platform is a great way to connect with and support artists and makers.  In my shop you'll find over 20 original drawings, along with art prints and subscriptions (most of which are exclusively available on ZIIBRA).

I had a lot of fun coming up with my subscription options: Pollywog Pinchers receive quarterly art postcards, Freckle Collectors get a new original fabric fat quarter every 3 months and Marshmallow Magnets receive quarterly original drawings...  I'd love it if you'd take a look!



A closer look at my shelf of inspirational buddies at my workspace:

New Art Postcard Set

I picked four favorites from my February drawings and had some postcards printed.  These are super-nice quality, frame-worthy even…  If you can part with them, why not send some surprise snail-mail to a deserving friend?  Available here.

Free Spoonflower Swatches + Free Shipping at Society6

I'll admit, I was pretty bummed when Spoonflower discontinued their cotton voile.  After using it to make my Fox Top, I wanted to make a bunch more breezy summer garments with this gauzy, lightweight fabric…  Anyway, I'm so glad I managed to snag some before it disappeared.  Below are my voile treasures:  Animal Heads, Little Dripper (illustration by David), and Deer Garden.

The great news is that Spoonflower just introduced a new lightweight cotton lawn that I can't wait to try.  And they're offering free 8x8"swatches of it printed with whatever design you'd like (through May 5)!  To get one, choose a design and select "Cotton Lawn Ultra" and "Test Swatch". Then use promo code FREELAWN when checking out (if you're just getting a swatch, shipping will be free too). Click here to visit my Spoonflower fabric shop.



A couple more original fabrics I'm excited to sew with:  Branch Stripes and Exploded Flower Garden:



If you're looking for something new to freshen up your walls for spring or if you need something special for Mom, now's a good time to grab a print from Society6...  They're offering free worldwide shipping through Sunday, April 26th.  Click here to visit my S6 shop.
