yay! owl

i couldn't resist doodling & painting this little owl for my friend manda's graduation present. owls= wise (& super cute.) so it was totally appropriate for the occasion. i did drew the banner separate and cut it out with my trusty xacto and steady hand. i used little adhesive "pop up" stickies to give it a bit of dimension. i loved the result and although i was sad to see it go, mister owl was certainly going to a good home! happy graduation manda way to goooo! 


it was a fun process, different than the usual, so i promise you will be seeing more of these!

shiny new banners

Mr. and Mrs.

Yay! I can finally reveal a small, but super fun project Matt and I finished a couple weeks ago.
A co-worker of mine got married this past Sunday April 25th (congratulations Sarah & Dan!!) so we decided to do something personal. Sarah has a boston terrier (Shortie) and collects oodles upon oodles of boston terrier artwork/prints/anything. so of course we joined forces and created a his and hers boston terrier drawings- each in our own style. I have to say, it was a blast!



Matt drew the mister, I drew the misses.


happy ever after you two!!
