I know. I'm beating the indigo theme to a pulp, but what can I say? I love the color so much. Plus, that was my dominant hue of the book, which seemed like the ideal color to include with the Art Walk concept, etc. etc. Perhaps you share a love of indigo too? I had created these "samplers" as a reference for keeping track of which prints have sold (each square is an individual painting), but then several people wondered if I would sell the samplers as prints, and then I thought it might ...

Happy Friday + Randomness
Happy Friday! I've been a bit obsessed with this new series of illustrations I created for the Art Walk at Drygoods (I'm typing this before the actual event so I don't know if anyone will end up showing up, but just having the chance to participate was awesome. Thank you, Keli!). Over the years of experimenting with different kinds of illustrations, I've decided that painting anthropomorphic animals is at the top of the favorites list. I mean, a foxy seamstress, a wise quilter, a ... Read more
Book Events!
One of my new goals is to do more book events. Not only do the events help promote the books to which I dedicated mega effort, they're great fun, and I'm challenging myself to get better at public speaking.

I may have mentioned this before, but confronted with an audience, my physiology betrays me: sweaty palms and forehead, shaky ... Read more
Monday Outfit: Puperita Colleen Dress
Good morning!! It's good to be back! I have to warn you, though.

There's a small chance that the blog will go down again, but I think it's safe to proceed with caution. Later this week, I'll do a roundup of some fun things going on ... Read more
STILL Hacked
It doesn't look like much is happening with the ole blog these past few weeks, but under the hood, it's getting outfitted with some impressive security measures and tensile armor. Or something. I don't know, when the husband starts to emit sounds that include words like "sql" and "SSH keys" my ear flaps involuntarily close up. Unfortunately, the tinkering that's going on means that even though I've tried to add new posts, the blog keeps reverting back to the Happy Friday/going to Vancouver ... Read more
