Dog Postcards

Here's my latest venture...notecards featuring dogs (particularly those I see most here in Savannah)! These will be available soon at a local retailer...more to come regarding that!

I hope everyone's summer is off to a great start! The weather here in Savannah has been sweltering...it's going to be a very hot few months, it seems! Thank goodness for Tybee!

New work unveiled!

Here's what I've been working on the past few weeks...these are three of the illustrations I have done as an approach to the editorial market (specifically, magazines for teenage girls). Despite the leaps and bounds I've taken stylistically by doing these, I'm very pleased with them!

Paper dolls/Smooth Show recap

Here's a rather brief look at a new promotional piece I'm doing, which will be a seasonal series of paper dolls that I will be e-mailing out to clients and contacts. Maybe you'll get one?

In other news, the reception for my show at Cafe Smooth was a great success on Friday night! Again, I want to extend a special thanks to Susan Jaffie for making it possible!! Also, many, many, thanks to EVERYONE who came out to the event!! I was so happy to see such a big turnout. The art will be hanging through June 1st.

Self Portrait and Smooth Update

Hi, all! Sorry for the little hiatus. Things have been quite busy, and in a short time I will have tons of new art to show you! Above is my most recent piece, a promotional self-portrait mailer than I am doing as part of a group project under the instruction of the wonderful Violet Lemay. We'll be sending this out to reps and other contacts, including Anna Goodson! Hooray!

Again, if you are in Savannah, don't forget to come to Cafe Smooth located on Bull Street (just off of Wright Square) this Friday, May 1st, between 5pm and 7pm for my illustration show's reception! There will be free snacks, prints and originals for sale, and much more!

Hope to see you there!

Greeting Cards: Early Stages

Here is a little sneak peek at two of the greeting cards that I have in the works, as they exist as of now...there will be at least ten, and I'm very excited to unveil them! They'll be available in the shop by June.

Despite the whirlwind of activity these past couple of weeks, I'm feeling very energized and I am so happy to see consistent Spring weather here in Savannah!

Excitement!

Show @ Cafe Smooth!

I'd like to proudly announce my upcoming art show at Cafe Smooth here in Savannah, Georgia! The show will be displayed April 1st- May 31st, 2009. If you've never been to Smooth, do stop in! They're located on Bull Street between Oglethorpe and York. Here is their website...home to the greatest smoothie on the planet (my personal favorite is the "Blueberry Thrill").

I will have a total of twenty original framed illustrations on display and available to purchase. This piece, among many others, will be on display in a vintage frame.

Hope you can check it out!! I'll be posting pictures once the art is hanging.

A lovely day for a treasury...or two!

I'd like to thank fellow Etsy sellers AuroraFedora and BeezMiller for including two of my "Sampling Savannah" prints ("Praline Pecan Pie" and "Sweet Tea" to be precise!) in their treasuries today! You can view the Etsy treasuries here and here. Tomorrow is the last day of Spring break, which I'm feeling a bit down about, but I must admit I'm looking forward to the months ahead!!

"Sampling Savannah" plates

I'm excited to unveil my latest set of illustrations...these are a series of designs for plates (Savannah, GA-themed, obviously...well, at the very least, they're centered around things that remind me of this town)! I've created actual ceramic plates bearing the same illustrations, which I hope to add to the shop soon. I also have a few more concepts to expand upon these four images I've started with. In the meantime, I'll be offering prints! And, they'll be more work to come very soon! Happy Spring (thank goodness it's here)!!

New Illustration!

Here's my latest illustration, "The Grand Pumpkin Pie." I typically work in watercolor and ink, but I'm employing digital techniques more and more frequently. This piece was somewhat of an experiment (and an assignment), and I'm really pleased with the outcome. Expect more pieces done in this method! Prints are available in my Etsy shop!
