Illustration Friday Topic: "Early"

....as in, the early bird gets the worm!

This a postcard design that I did a while back. I'm working on a couple of new sets of cards, so keep an eye out for them here and on my website!

Lil' Spot Illustration

Here is a little spot illustration that I took out of my overall greeting card designs (which are very nearly finished!). I'm trying to decide what to do with these little vignettes, other than adding them to my portfolio. Enjoy!

Treasury Day!

One of my sketchbooks was featured in an Etsy treasury today (bottom left)! Many thanks to its curator! You can view the treasury here.

Something different.

So here is my latest illustration. This is acrylic on a textured board, using the Fletcher color system (a technique which involves selecting a "soloist" color from the color wheel, which makes up 10% of the painting and is accompanied by two "chorus" colors and a number of corresponding colors. While I like textured surfaces and acrylic paint, I normally don't work with either of the two (at least, I haven't in quite some time). Still, I'm pleased with this one. Prints are available in my Etsy shop!

My husband and I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Button today, and it was absolutely the most beautiful film I've seen in years. Do check it out.

New items...

Over the past few days I updated the shop a little, adding a new print, new sketchbook, and a set of originals. Have a look! I'll be adding more newness over the course of the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping to have fifty items in the shop by mid-February.
