NEW CARDS

My new business cards just arrived from moo. Here is a sample.

LAYERS

These are two experimental ideas for illustration Friday for the topic Layers.

My work at PET FOOD EXPRESS

It's fun walking everyday and seeing my illustrations of dogs and cats at the windows of Pet Food Express. The stores are all over the San Francisco/Bay Area and the images at the windows are over 5' tall. Very exciting project!

LITTLE ICONS

Happy New Year

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted. It has been such a busy time. Some creative... and some just busy. My new goal for the new year? Well to do a sketch or something creative every day. Just for fun. Simple. May all of you my friends have a creative and prosperous 2011... and happy drawing :-) .

HAPPY DAYS

JUNE

June has been such an exciting and busy month. Traveling from Berkeley to Crete, and from there to Sardinia to Corsica and back to Crete. So many places to see, full of inspiration everywhere. Here it is a book that I got in Bonifacio with watercolors by Christian Heinrich.

SCHOOL PROJECT

I had been working on the THOUSAND OAKS school website for a while now, and these are two of my illustrations that we are using as the main theme. I enjoyed this project so much!

Storybook puzzle blocks

I just saw this really fun idea for recycling old books at the MOTHER LODE. You can use old damaged picture books to make puzzle blocks. Here it is the tutorial if you would like to try it.

AHEAD for Illustration Friday

I draw up and colored this illustration over the weekend for illustration friday. It was hard to decide on the color and intensity of the leafs because I wanted to keep the emphasis on the girls running. Can you guess what has happened in this story?

Linked for IF.

Today in San Francisco

It's been an amazing sunny day today. These are some shots that I took this morning.

PRINT give away

This lovely print is to be given away at happy Doodleland. You can visit the happy Doodleland blog for more details. And by the way did I mention how much I love these little birds! They have so much character.

HOUSES

For the past couple of days I have been working on some of my sketches that I did last summer. These three house illustrations are based on some of the sketches that I did in the village of Ligres in south of Crete. Still experimenting with styles and technics these days....

PERSPECTIVE

Another artwork for illustration friday. No perspective on these houses...
