Elephants and Espresso

Another collaborative piece with Sharpshirter.com! Elephants and espresso. Some experimenting this time with having the animals interacting with the food pieces. This will be available as a sweatshirt in the next month or so. 

Pandas and popsicles should be available next week on their site!

Hope everyone had a lovely thanksgiving holiday. I've just finished the marathon of Christmas cards.

Christmas Card Designs

Some of the custom family portrait holiday card designs over at my etsy shop this year. Feeling very christmasy. 

Check them out, over here!

Pandas and Popsicles!

Pandas and Popsicles! This piece was featured on Tumblr radar the other day (!!!) and is being made into a pullover/shirt by SharpShirter. It should be available soon. 

As always, prints are always available via my etsy site. 

Diggers!

A fun piece for my agency's annual 'Heads-Up' project. We were supposed to create a piece with a subject matter we don't usually work with. Little critters, vehicles and diggers it is! Needless to say, it will now be a subject I avoid. 

Pirates!

I've been wanting to do another pirate piece for a while.

New website!

I've had an indexhibit site for a few years now and have always wanted a clean, colorful and fun website. After playing around with a few different hosting/website creation sites I ended up going with squarespace. I haven't finished playing with it yet but I love it!

The format really seems to suit the more simplistic style I've been working on for the last few months. 

Check it out!

Bunnies and Birthday Cake

Another addition to the animals with sweets series!

'Gifts of Power' exhibition at Chartwell

I was recently approached by the Events Officer of Chartwell House, under the care of the National Trust, to do a series of paintings for their upcoming winter exhibit 'Gifts of Power'. As Chartwell was Winston Churchill's family home, I was of course more than delighted. The paintings feature Rufus I and II (Churchill's miniature poodle I featured in my book 'War Dogs') as well as Jock the cat, who 'still' resides at Chartwell.

Jock himself:

You can see these paintings as well as other features (and perhaps even Jock the Cat) at the 'Gifts of Power' exhibit at the Chartwell Estate this winter. This project was a major thrill! I'll hopefully be able to post photos of the exhibit itself sometime soon.

Many thanks to Emily Christmas for approaching me with this project and to Zoe Roberts for taking over.

Back to school

Fun piece to start off the day.

Pigs and Pizza

I've had a very busy couple of weeks. I can't wait to show you guys everything I've been working on! But for now, pigs and pizza.

Print over here

Looking forward to fall :)

Hotchkiss Library Book Signing/Benefit

Tons of fun earlier this month at the Hotchkiss Library of Sharon's annual benefit/book signing. Great company (J.C. Phillips especially) and the most delicious cupcakes (from Jam in Sharon). 

Many thanks for having us!

Bears and Berries

Check out this print over here on etsy.

While my much loved bf is away for a family reunion I have gone work crazy. No, it is not too much work developing two books and stocking my etsy shop for December while perfecting my new portfolio of younger kids work. Watched a ton of movies, played my violin two hours a day and hiked every mountain in the area. Weekend success!

Hope you're all enjoying the break from the heat.

Fooling around with different print ideas. Would like to do an animal version next.

Bulldogs and burgers

Having my first burger in a few months definitely inspired this illustrations creation.

Horse Flowers

A story I recently illustrated for MeeGenius has been released! Check it out over here. It was a fun week or two of illustrating horses, flowers and action scenes. There is the added novelty of having the story read to you when you click on the link. Thanks to Heeral Cheeber for the project.

A bunch of new pieces

While we've been experiencing some truly sweltering heat in the North East, I have been hard at work on some new illustrations. Some book work coming - hope you like ketchup!

Book Signing at Hotchkiss Library

Come visit me at the Hotchkiss Library of Sharon on August 2nd for the children's book signing! I will be signing copies of 'War Dogs' at the children's signing and then again at the adult signing/cocktail party. 

Come enjoy a garden party with us!

Hedgehogs and Hot Cross Buns

Wrapping up a fun Fourth of July holiday and easing back into reality with another Etsy shop print.
