Moving to Tumblr.

Hello Everyone!

I've switched from sharing illustrations here to blogging my drawings over on Tumblr. There you can see new projects, sketches, and designs I've been working on.

I'm also selling prints, mugs, and things on Etsy.

I have a few art shows coming up this fall/winter! You can read about them on Facebook.

Check them out, and thank you for reading the blog.

Owl Birthday Cake.

I made my own funfetti birthday cake. Complete with owls and rainbows. This one's a barn owl.

Also, I've started posting more drawings and projects on my Tumblr.

Colin Meloy & Carson Ellis' Wildwood.

I just finished reading Colin Meloy & Carson Ellis' Wildwood. It is a fantastic story about a girl who travels into a forbidden forest with her friend to save her kidnapped baby brother. The heroine likes to ride bikes and draw birds. All images by Carson Ellis and found on Design Sponge (check out their review of the book), unless otherwise noted.

The book is filled with beautiful illustrations by Carson Ellis, from small drawings to full page color spreads. I highly recommend you check it out.

I just found out that there is a sequel, too. Next on the reading list. Image via Harper Collins Childrens.

Song: 

January Hymn - The Decemberists (The whole book reads like a Decemberists song.)

Presidential Portrait Practice.

It's been a while since I have drawn faces. How about two of the most recognized faces in the US today?

November 6th is fast approaching. Don't forget to vote on Tuesday!

And, this one's been stuck in my head for a month, but it's NSFW (due to language). Watch it on YouTube.
