You may have been wondering why I haven't been keeping up with my posts everyday, so I thought I'd let you in on a little sneak peek of what I've been working on in recent months. A couple of years ago, I found that I really missed illustrating -- it had been almost 11 years since I gave up illustrating for Nordstrom's baby & kids textiles and jumped, head first, into web design for Amazon.com and other corporations. It took me a few months to oil my rusty wheels and get the feel for illustrating again but I'm enjoying the process of finding a comfort zone and using my hands again. After reading about the Print Gocco last year, I immediately purchased one and started printing my illustrations. Here are a few of the prints that I've come up with and I'm trying to get a couple more out by the end of August. I'm considering an Etsy store...so stay tuned...
wow, thanks to you all for the kind words! i'm finishing up a bird this weekend and then i may pull together an etsy site if i'm feeling particularly inspired. otherwise, i'll have an etsy site by the end of the month and will keep you posted. thanks :)
