Card Sale

 I just wanted to make a quick announcement that all card sets (including mix and match) are currently 20% off in the shop! The sale will be running until the end of the month. 

Happy Holidays!

I've also added this adorable original to the shop. 

It features a sleeping baby American Red Squirrel surrounded by delicate branches and a bumblebee. The wood is painted the softest shade of pastel pink. (I would love to see this in a baby's room!)

Racing towards the holidays

 Detroit Urban Craft Fair is next weekend! I cannot express to everyone how much I love this show. If you've never been, I highly recommend it.

I've just updated my shop with a few new pieces including this lovely framed original illustration I just finished. Prints will be available next friday in both 8x10 and 11x14 sizes.

I also have some new woodland gift tags available and lots more to come for the holiday season including some new prints and a 2013 calendar!

Updates

DIY Street Fair is this weekend! If you're in the Ferndale area you should definitely stop by!

 Due to my busy show schedule for the month of September, new items will be slow to make it into my etsy shop for the time being. So, if you had your eye on a particular temporary tattoo or an original at a show and it's not listed in the shop, please be patient and I'll try my hardest to get it listed soon. If you simply have to have it, feel free to email me and I can set up a custom listing for you.

Here's a sneak peek of a new piece I will be debuting at the fair tomorrow. It's graphite and oil on hardwood.

In the Studio

 With the Chicago Renegade Craft Fair just around the bend, the days are blurring together into a steady stream of drawing, painting and a seemingly endless supply of caffeine to my system. Just like these last few weeks of summer as we shift from a bright warm green world into one of crisp browns and golds I find my own color palette and focus changing with the seasons.

In my studio I'm immersed in a world of soft fur and gentle eyes, honey bees and allspice, fluttering wings on dark nights and mottled feathers gleaming in the moonlight. I know I'll have to emerge back into the world in a few weeks, but when I do I'm happy to say that I'll have some beautiful new work to share with everyone.

If you're in the Chicago area the weekend of September 8th and 9th, I'd love to see you at Renegade Craft Fair!

Summer Break

This summer has been one of the busiest in recent memory and so it took me by surprise to realize that while I've whiled the summer away painting and drawing all sorts of plants and animals, I haven't once actually gotten away from the studio to experience these things in real life. 

So it was with enormous pleasure that I stole away last weekend to go camping and generally immerse myself in the outdoors.

New Items

I first wanted to thank everyone who came out to Shadow Art Fair this past Saturday, as well as the lovely people who ran the show. I had so much fun and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it. 

Maker Faire Detroit is this weekend and again, I couldn't be more excited. I'm working on some fun new items to debut, like these watercolor kitten gift tags and a few items for a younger audience.

If you can't make it to the fair, all new stock including flasks, temporary tattoos, gift tags and prints will be available in my shop by Tuesday next week.

Looking forward to seeing you at the fair! Stop by and say hi!
