Has it truly been so long?

We have had a tumultuous few weeks.  We added a pup to our family only to realize that he couldn't stay.  I printed journals, finished drawings, cleaned and cleaned, worked, slept, and really just set my targets and moved forward.  Sadly, this hasn't left much time for blog updates, or etsy updates....or really anything.  Tomorrow I am working from home and I fully intend to take some time to photograph my new line of journals (Field Notes) and get those badboys up on etsy.  However, I was finally able to finish up this little devil.  I think he looks pretty grand, but he really needs a name.  He has been going by Ramathorn (from Super Troopers) as a nickname, but I am looking for something a bit more.... whimsical.

 

With his very bestest friend - deer!  I mounted the two on my wall to see how they look together.  So far, I dig it.  I can really see this set of images coming together.  I think it will be a series of five works.  Perhaps it will grow beyond that, but time will tell.

That is all for now,

Love and Kisses,

Some updates!

This has been an incredibly busy last while for me.  While working at MRU I have been hanging shows and getting things ready to go for a partnership with the Civic Arts and getting tags made and inventory done for all our art.  I also have been working hard at Steeling Home, my cards did very very well this Mother's Day.  Next year I plan to do a specific card for the date, as it seems like people respond to that more than the cards that could be used for anything.  Amazing, this is one of the few cases where specialization really helps. 

I have been really enjoying silkscreening my journals, and my kittens have even been pitching in.  Things were so busy that little Kouki was all tuckered out when I snapped this photo.  I have also been taking a class on Typography from ACAD and trying to keep my house clean.  Needless to say - I have been a busy bee.  But in my world, busy is good!  Especially when I still have enough time to hit the gym.

New journals are on their way, I have the Yudu workin hard!

Love and Kisses,
