Little Drawings for Little Ones

I give little pieces of art as gifts, instead of toys. 

Parents always seem a little more excited. 

Dreary Spring

Seeing patterns from freelancer friends Jessie, Katie and Emma. Feeling a little jealous of their time for special projects, so I've started one of my own. I intend to add some color, but it doesn't seem fitting with the foot of snow dumped on MN yesterday. Someday spring will come and color will again appear in our lives.

Inspired to make a Etsy Treasury too, check it out.

The Curious Garden

I'm in love with this book by Peter Brown. He has some other amazing work, but this makes me melt.

Justin Gabbard

Great stuff justingabbard.com, saw it on the the New York Times site.

This season's cards. First designed by the lovely Ally Haigh. Second from my aunt who's hair stylist has some pretty neat illustrations: Simply Simkin. I hope everyone's holidays were fantastic. Thanks for the awesome gifts. Top of this year is the long awaited light box I've been in great need of.

Conjunction

My blog as been slowly dwindling into nothingness. This will have to change starting now. See you later.

This came from a dinosaur

August is the end of summer. Our house has dogsit five puppers this month. I've been taking portraits of them. My mom wants me to design her identity for this dogsitting craziness that she does just for fun. I also have some sketches for a story that I could possibly be doing some serious illustrations. We'll see soon.

The neighbors kids have kept me pretty entertained this summer. The youngest, Caleb 5, is convinced everything was once a part of a dinosaur. Everything from a rock to a lawnmower. So, Yes your computer was once a Longneck...I believe.
