I love designing products for children’s rooms. I LOVED decorating Isaac’s room and am already planning his toddler room! I was recently contacted by Goodnite Moon Kids to do this very kind of work – yay! We’re in the midst of creating lots of fun designs. I’m working on kid’s canvas prints, clock designs, growth charts, and even dishware. Goodnite Moon Kids sells many of their products to big name stores like Rosenberry Rooms. I’m very excited about this new working relationship and am looking forward to posting some more of the work I’m designing for them.

I recently completed a project with Kalliope Audiobooks. Kalliope takes classic children’s tales and turns them into audiobooks! I was asked to design the cover of the Raggedy & Andy audiobook. This was a perfect project for me as I think my style fits perfectly with these characters. I also really enjoyed working on this illustration because it was a bit different than other projects I’ve been working on lately – I love doing full coloured scenes like this. I was also given a lot of creative freedom with this project – always a bonus! It was a pleasure working with the company and hopefully I’ll be able to work with them again soon :) Click here to rate this illustration.

I’m also in the middle of a complete redesign! I’m redesigning my logo, website, business cards, etc. I’m looking for a fresh look that will stand the test of time. I’m looking to have a proper homepage for my website (rather then going directly to my blog). I’ve already redesigned my logo and will be posting a sneak peak of it in the next couple weeks. I’ve begun redesigning my website and I’m excited to announce that this design is going to be a lot more fun and playful than my current design. I’m excited to show you my new ideas in the weeks to come :)

In this bitterly cold winter, I’m really missing the pale, pretty colours of spring! Click here to rate this illustration.

It’s great to get back to illustrating! This illustration was just for fun but lately I’ve been working on updating my portfolio. I have a lot of one-off illustrations that work well for products, greeting cards, or prints but I’m really interested in getting into children’s book illustration. I’ve decided to start working on some book layouts to add to my portfolio in order to branch off into this area!

I’ve decided to illustrate a few spreads in the book, ‘Guess How Much I Love You’ by Sam McBratney. It’s one of my favorite children’s books so I thought it’d be fun to do. I’ve just started some character development sketches so I’ll be posting those once my characters are established. Then I’ll work on the page layouts and start my sketches. I’ll keep you posted on my progress. Have a great weekend!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted a new illustration. I had a little time the other day to have some fun on the computer and decided to do a bit of illustrating. It was nice to get back into it! Isaac is doing very well and growing so quickly – I can’t believe he’s already a month old! Hope you’re all doing well :)

Thank you ALL so much for your congrats on my little bundle! He’s brought so much happiness to my life already! He’s been a pretty good sleeper today so I’ve been able to get this post together for you all :o)

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a children’s birthday card collection for Bug Art. I’ve finally completed the collection and am now able to show you them. I’ve posted a few here but if you pop over to my portfolio section, you can view the full collection. They’re going to be produced with gold and glitter so they’ll be extra special in person. I hope you like them!

Even though I’m a mommy now and my number one priority is my little pumpkin, I’m going to make lots of effort to keep my blog current and keep you posted on any interesting work I have on the go! Have a great week :o)
