The Power of the Pen/Pencil

Swing over to LittleToad's blog and check out her fabulous article in her blog for "The Power of the Pen/Pencil". I will be featured in the part 2 and let you know when I am.

Since Michelle said it the best, here is what she has to say about each of the illustrators!

"The Best Illustrators on Etsy That You’ve Probably Never Seen: Part 1

I had the pleasure of asking these talented artists questions about their work and where they hope their work takes them. Please not only read this article but visit their shops I promise you will be transported to a different world and look at ours in a new way. These are undiscovered talents that I know will become your new favorites."

It is almost spring... maybe

Well, yesterday I was convinced that it was almost springtime. I went on a long run and I saw... GRASS! I can't quite tell you how much that excites me but it does. I love spring. I love new beginnings. I love it all. It motivates me like you can't believe in all areas of my life. I am ignoring my husband's roll of the eyes... "you do this every year" he says. "You get all excited, then a snow storm hits and you start with the... 'I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE'". Oh silly husband of mine. Maybe, just maybe the snow is done for the winter. Yes, it is only mid-Feburary.. but a gal can have dreams, can't she?

Twisted Love

So, here is my latest creation. It is called Twisted Love. I so much love hand sketching my illustrations. Something about using your hands is so rewarding. So, this is in honor of Valentine's Day with those that have a twisted kind of love! NOT saying that I do of course!!! My husband gave me the BEST BEST BEST present ever... a coffee table book on the history of the IRONMAN. Seriously, forget the roses, forget the 3-carrot diamonds (not really, but until that happens...), forget the chocolates.... this was the BEST present ever. My hubby... knows exactly what I like!

Sneak Peek

I have a bunch more illustrations to upload and some new cards but have been super sick the last two days. So this weekend, I promise to get them all uploaded AND I will also be featuring this awesome graphic designer I ran across in Etsy. Here are some images of my new illustrations. Hope you like them!

These are some of the last of my alphabet animals. Can't believe I am done with them. About a month behind BUT that is how it is. The N is a Newt, the Q is for Quail, the U is for Unicorn... what else are you questioning? Yes, there were saved for last because I had to actually research for my drawings and animals. Who knew!!!
