Red Foxy Brooch



I bought a pack of Shrinky Dinks about a year ago and my BF and I messed around with them here and there but it fizzled out. (The Dinks, not the BF ;) Anyway...So I bust them out a couple nights ago and it clicks. Shrinky Dinks are a perfect medium for me to get my doodles out in a graphic way. The medium really lends itself to my style. So I'm really excited about all the things I could make with this stuff! I posted this little guy on Etsy and he was sold by the next day courtesy of this awesome designer named Bee of Little Beehive Design in Melbourne, Australia. Thanks for purchasing Foxy, Bee!

My daughter Michel and I are starting an etsy shop!





My not so little one has dreams of traveling abroad and well, I just think that's super brave and cool. So I'd like to make it happen for her gosh darn it!!! We'll be selling art prints and other hand made goods-all original art made by Michel and yours truly. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks we'll have stuff up. So stay tuned!
I decided on Petit Reve (Little Dream) because her first choice is France and also to pay a bit of homage to my french great grandmother, Una Frachette. Hopefully this endeavor will force us to learn some french..cause uh....right now, we don't speak a lick! Here's the biz card and the etsy banner.

The birthday cake missed the party bus!


This was my first e-card that I did about 8 months ago...I think...Still learning the ins and outs of flash but I'm getting there :) I'm late for a lot of things....even when I get up really early!! How is that??!!! Check out other e-cards at Hallmark.com.
ps. I'm having difficulty with sounds. There's some compression issues :( But I'll figure it out.

Little Notebooks are AWESOME!


So I got a new moleskin planner for christmas and I love it. It now has me addicted to tiny notebooks with rounded off corners. I was on the supa' cool blog Modern Craft and I stumbled upon The Field Notes Shop post they did back in October. So freakin' cute. http://fieldnotesbrand.com/shop/ Their site is designed really cool. I will NEVER EVER stop loving the typeface Futura. EVER. I also think I like my sketches more when there in a cool notebook. I swear it's all psychological....

leftovers from 2009


Not sure what to do with lady. I never draw this realistic. Maybe i'll do more abstract studies of her....Or layer some interesting elements over the line work.
she kinda looks like Amy Adams :)
