shop update!

Here are a couple of brand new cards that I've finally printed and put in the shop! Stay tuned for some giveaway information for them...

some creative wisdom

This is an interview of the artist, Megan Whitmarsh, whose work includes illustration, embroidery, sewing, and installations. She says some interesting things about the creative process and about her work. The video is by Giant Robot.

shop update!

Four hand painted leaf pins! They will be packed in a brown paper box with a cushion of cotton filled cloth inside. You can buy them here. The orange one I will have to post in the shop tomorrow because I need to get a couple more pictures of it in the daylight.

autumn, winter, spring

Some designs for a postcard pack I'm in the midst of putting together for the shop! They will be postcards that represent each season so that you can send one to a special someone once every few months to let them know you're thinking of them year round.

i knight thee...awesome!

So awhile ago both my and Malachi's bikes were stolen which kind of sucked. I really miss riding my bike. I've been looking around for replacement bikes and recently came across these amazing things that would be just perfect since they fold up super small and we could keep them inside our studio apartment and take them on the Metro. I would definitely get that cream and tan one and I think Malachi would really like the dark green and brown one. You can check out more information and other colors of these Strida bikes here.

In honor of the Oscars I picked some of my favorite Criterion Collection film covers to share with you all. Obviously I haven't included tons and tons of super sweet ones because there are too many! Also below I've included a couple of cool movie posters that I really like a lot. Do any of you have favorite movie posters or dvd covers?

If you've never seen Moon or Junebug, I highly recommend them. And if you like sharp, witty humor you should see Metropolitan.

beginnings of a postcard set

Some basic sketches that I will color and make into a set of postcards soon. Our carpet is very ugly. This is also a test to see if this modified layout on my blog works! Bigger pictures are better.

watercolorings...

I am experimenting with watercolors and drawing figures. Here is something I drew and painted the other day while it was rainy outside. Maybe eventually it will be a print for sale in the shop if I can get it to scan in well enough.
