Rumblebea's pet treats >> logo design!

I've been working on a handful of illustrations with this sweet couple who whip up homemade gluten free pet treats for their furry friends. The logo was the first piece (more are up on my website!) featuring Rumblebea the black lab, an orange cat, and a pet rat.
This nifty little package was part of my gift to my parents puppy Oreo, and she absolutely loved the treats!! If you're interested in a package of your own, get in touch, I can send the owner your way!

snowflake kites >> starbucks commercial

i just saw this last evening & I can't get the imagery out of my head, the snowflakes are so whimsical & dreamy. i've been contemplating making paper snowflakes to hang- its now definitely on my crafty to do list. enjoy!

christmas card peek

up close shot of (so far, there may be more) all three designs.
must start writing them out & sending them off!

december inspiration + promo mailers!

my latest arrangement on my inspiration board has a mix of reds and greens to celebrate the season. the snippet of green polkadots is one of my holiday wrapping papers this year, swoon!



finally got to take a snapshot of my recent promo mailers featuring the piece ocean swept in deeper blues. i sent a batch out a couple weeks ago, must beef up my client list to send out the next round.



i am loving the back layout & design, it's only natural for me to handwrite my information... using a typical type just doesn't mix well when trying to showcase myself. hope you enjoy them as much as i do!

a little winter forest

a quiet little forest created for the trees galore exhibit/silent auction at the lancaster art museum in december. my favorite thing about creating this was experimenting with the layers/opacity of the trees. really, i could spend hours mocking up different versions, its oh so fun!

a sample of colors

I love how different each version of this same pattern looks. Its amazing what color can do/super fun to play around with. I so want to make these into 12x12 scrapbook sized paper. or wrapping paper. or journals. (I normally like to add blog images to flickr, they tend to have a higher quality but the colors in this one turned "hurt your eyes fluorescent", so I hope you enjoy the slightly smaller but the intended muted palette here.)
