These are so much fun to make. Still working on the other designs, but for now here are these cuties. Cute animals. Forever. This also marks the 100th post on my new blog - a fitting celebration, I think!

Friday Final: My Brawlentine

A little gift to my boyfriend on Valentine's Day. We play Smash Bros. together a lot, and "our" battle is King DeDeDe vs. Peach (in Smashville) - David's a troll, I like cute pink things, you know. The little Waddledee minion who threw the sticky bomb represents our dog, Polly. They're in cahoots together.

He wouldn't let me post it, but David drew me a Lady Rainicorn in My Little Pony style, complete with "I love you" in Korean. My boyfriend. Is best.

Hope you all had a beautiful day! I'll be back next week with some more serious work. Until then, have fun!

Friday Final: Hanna and JD

Hanna and JD

A portrait gift in celebration of my friend/former SCAD roomie's recent engagement! I am so happy for them. Congratulations! (Hanna was a fashion major... I can't wait to see what she wears.)

Monday Mix: Holiday Prep

I. Love. Christmas. Mostly I love giving gifts. This time of year it's like everyone's having a birthday all at once and I get to gift them all. I love every part of gift-giving, from planning and making lists, to wrapping each box lovingly (wrapping is sort of an addiction for me), to seeing a person's face when they open it up. There are very few things that make me feel as happy. 

This year has been passing so quickly! It feels like I only just put my Christmas boxes away. I'm so excited, and I've been quite busy with a number of holiday projects. Like...

working on holiday art... 

decorating the house... 

...and sewing up geeky little felt ornaments for our tree.

(Yes, we have a Buddha living under it.) 

I have more ornaments to make and to hang, and gifts to make, and cards to order! I'm also prepping a few holiday items for my shop. So don't be surprised if this blog is non-stop holiday until Christmas Day ;)

And by the way...

Christmas cards and other cards

Christmas cards for etsy! they're a little different, i think this may be the first illustration i've posted with digital coloring. i'm not a good digital artist by any means, but i'm pleased with it for this, i think the solid colors suit the kind of naive and playful feeling. (also much faster, plus plus!) i'm so excited for christmas, it is my very favorite.

i've got a few other new things on my etsy too which i haven't posted here, some greeting cards and prints and more original paintings...
