New Cards

Magnolia Blossom Card

Seed Pod Card

I've been having fun with PhotoShop this morning. There are now two new cards in my Etsy shop and a print. I can still smell that magnolia blossom. I love spring....

My Card on Mixed Plate

YAY!! My Lets Ride Bikes card has been featured on Mixed Plate!! How exciting is THAT! Its a super-cool blog. And look at all the neat-o items surrounding my card. Wow! What a great way to begin the weekend. Thanks so much, Liana. Aloha!

Have You Seen This??

Tyler Stout! As much as I absolutely LOVE Flight of the Conchords, I am blown away by the illustrations. I admit to downloading this album from iTunes, but DANG. What a mistake! I'm heading out to buy this little treasure, so I can hold it all in my hands. Here's the little poster that comes inside this gem.

(Illustrations by Tyler Stout, Art direction by Jeff Kleinsmith and Dusty Summers, Design by Jeff Kleinsmith.)

Tyler Stout's website is dense with a mini blog, portfolio, and a STORE! You can buy posters, illustrations and even TOYS. I've got my eye on this beautiful poster, which is available for sale "later this week":

ME WANT.

Good Words

"We need a renaissance of wonder. We need to renew, in our hearts and in our souls, the deathless dream, the eternal poetry, the perennial sense that life is miracle and magic."
E. Merrill Root

Lets Get REAL

Sarah Takahashi! I discovered her while making a little Treasury on Treasury West for Etsy. The drawing I chose from her shop (1st drawing shown above "Cameo 2") has haunted me and I wanted to find out more about her. She has a fabulously beautiful website with tons of her drawings to pour over. Her lines are beautiful.

You can purchase Cameo 2 on Etsy! But you'd better hurry, I may beat you to it.

Lookie What I Found - Wendy Wagner

I just discovered this wonderful artist from Houston, Texas, Wendy Wagner, by flipping through old issues of New American Paintings. I love her use of color. Be sure to check out her incredible website. She's also into animation (watch one on her website) and sculpture. LOVE love love her use of color.
