hope something today...

makes you smile!


happy friday!

even though its monday...

today will be top notch!




its true! sometimes we just need a little sunny reminder that it can and will be a good day :)

fun & fancy doodles

mister night owl.



a chipmunk squirrel-ish hybrid.



& a sweater wearing rabbit. because all rabbits need cute polka dots.

inked up ideas

just a few concepts for a commissioned set of postcards.
even if they aren't selected to move forward, i think i may have a few new prints on my hands. i enjoy them all so so much!

part 2 >>sketchbook project 2011

a few of my favorite spreads from my art-house sketchbook! yes, it's finally done and soon to be on it's way to brooklyn. i really would love to see the tour, but if a spontaneous trip to one of the cities doesn't pan out, a trip to brooklyn must happen where all the sketchbooks will eventually reside. goodbye dear sketchbook!

part 1 >>sketchbook project 2011

here are the first few pages of my arthouse co-op sketchbook project. each sketchbook has a theme, it can be taken literally or just inspired by... you can fill it with whatever your heart desires. the theme i choose was "in flight".
i've come to realize my sketchbooks/loose scraps of paper i draw on are quite repetitive, i end up drawing the same thing over and over changing only small details. so it's fitting that i dedicated a page to just one word repeated in different ways.
the deadline is looming and i still have a handful pages to fill up, but i'll be sure to share more!

new doodles

just a couple of new ideas that keep popping up while I'm drawing away...

happy july

can you believe the year is halfway through?
it's another beautiful day out & both matt and i are off, so the plan is to enjoy the lovely non-humid weather!

happy day doodle

the humidity has finally gone away & it's beautiful outside! oh happy day indeed!!

happy june!

can you believe it's june already?! i certainly can't!


here's a little piece i finished the other day for a friend's birthday (which i believe is today!)
she loves owls. i love owls. it worked perfect.

here's just the background of leaves. i kind of like it. a lot.



and the finished piece!
happy june! & happy birthday sara!

endless eyeballs

i was a little stumped this morning on what to draw. i have a fun little series of beachy drawings i'm starting for a friend to give as a gift & i just couldn't get started with it. (i think i may need to go to the beach to get a little inspiration, ya know?)
so i flipped through my sketchbook and saw i started just doodling owl eyes. i think i could do a whole page each one different from the other! it may also make a great surface design pattern. oh, the possibilities!

hello sun

it's so nice to see you out today!

april showers

it's another cold & rainy day here. but i keep telling myself days like this are much needed, so everything can turn that beautiful shade of green. and so i can work on a secret present soon-to-be revealed!
