Diving Board Diva

Really wishing I had a pool in my backyard lately. This sweltering summer is starting to get to me, but I won't complain since I know that winter will be here before we know it. In the meantime, please enjoy my latest piece that I affectionately call the "Diving Board Diva".

The New Studio!

I can not possibly be more excited about my latest apartment fix-it-up project. It has always been my dream to have my own design office in my apartment, and after an excruciatingly long trip to IKEA and a full weekend of painting and construction my dream has come true! I am especially fond of my chalkboard paint wall that I have been thoroughly enjoying since it was finished.

Having this set up has really helped me get the creativity flowing and I should have more posts to share soon. Happy weekend everyone!

Puppies Everywhere

If any of you have checked out my personal portfolio you probably saw these little guys already, but I really wanted to share them on my blog as well since they showcase the less digitized side of my illustrations. It's funny, I find that when I have my best ideas they usually come to me all of a sudden and I have to immediately get started on them or else I will go completely crazy. Such was the case with this simple illustration. I came home from work one day and for some reason prissy daschunds were dancing through my head. I put pen to paper and this puppy pattern was the end result. I want to tweak it a bit more and possibly end up creating a wrapping paper from it once it is ready. Enjoy!

8000!

Today the blog has reached 8000 views! Hooray! It has been a pleasure sharing the work that brings me so much joy. I have some big things in the works right now, including the creation of my own new design haven, and I can't wait to share them with you in the near future. See you all again soon!
