I just finished this illustration for my mom’s birthday card. She loves sheep! Click here to rate this illustration.

Yay! Kathy Weller over at Wellerwishes just awarded me the ‘You Make My Day‘ award and I couldn’t be more flattered! Thanks Kathy – you’ve just made MY day… corny but true! :o)

So to continue the trend, here are the details:

1. Write a post with links to 5 blogs that make me think and/or make my day.
2. Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3. Display the “You Make my Day Award” logo
4. Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their blogs with the news.

I follow so many wonderful blogs that it was hard to choose only 5 recipients! I pass on this wonderful award to the following uber-talented, inspiring illustrators that always make my day:

Jannie Ho | Paige Keiser | Kathleen Rietz | Penelope Dullagnan | Anette Heiberg

I’m so happy to announce that my online store is now officially open for business! I am currently selling 7 prints through ImageKind. I decided to sell through ImageKind because each print is printed with archival inks on archival paper. These prints will last upwards of 100 years. It’s important to me that each print is of top quality and this seemed like the best way to do it! ImageKind also takes great care in their shipping and will send you a new print for free if any damage occurs during transit. They also offer framing and matting which you can preview right on the site. I have set up my prints with the frame and mat that I recommend but you can also choose your own in order to compliment your personal home decor. If you don’t want the frame, you can buy the print on its own. There are a variety of sizes and paper types to choose from. All the necessary details are linked from my store.

I am SOOO excited to finally have some of my prints available for sale! My next task is greeting cards. I am sourcing a printer and high quality paper right now and will keep you posted when my cards will be available. Stay tuned!

I just recently discovered the work of Il Sung Na and fell absolutely in love with it! Il Sung Na is a Korean children’s illustrator. With intricate detailing, beautiful but subdued use of colour, and charming characters, this illustrator has become a true inspiration! Na is a mixed media artist who has recently illustrated the book ‘ZZzzz’ A Book of Sleep.

I’m excited to announce that you can now purchase the rubber stamp collection I designed for Sugar Nellie at Funky Kits! These cute designs are hot out of the oven and waiting for a good home :) I can’t wait to see what all the stampers out there will create! Feel free to send me a photo of your creation and I’ll post it on my blog.
