Back from California!

I'm back home in Portland after a week in northern California doing some 90th birthday celebrating, family friend and relative visiting, and some mountain lounging. I went kayaking with my brother one morning on the lake and you can still see snow on the mountain tops! Also, I kicked his butt at go-fish :)

At the end of the day...

Sunbeam Avenue's Most Wanted Album Art

{Album Art!}

Album art for "Sunbeam Avenue's Most Wanted" an Australian band with a unique sound. This is their second full length album, "teeth" released earlier this month! Check them out on the web here. These guys were wonderful to work with!

Another drawing from the "persons" series...more to come.

CALIFORNIA

I'm going on a little family trip down south to California for the next week. It's my Mormor's (Swedish grandmother) 90th birthday (!) Above are some photos I took at their house when I was about 18. Lucky for me, it will not be snowing this time of year!
I've scheduled a few blog posts in my internet absence, enjoy!

Etsy notice: my shop will remain open, but orders placed between today (Friday 18th) and Friday June 25th will ship out on the 28th.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

YEN magazine is Australia based, it's pretty rocking. Art, Fashion, Music and Pop Culture, this is issue #44

I Heart the Golden Girls....Zine!

Yes! After about a month of chronic insomnia and a LOT of late nights watching pretty much all of the seasons of The Golden Girls, this zine was born! It's 12 pages, color and black and white with a pretty golden cover. Each book is hand numbered, with a hand sewn spine and measures 4.25"x5.5". Each book comes with a postcard of the Golden Girl of your choice, or we can do it grab bag style and I can surprise you.
Sophia is my fav. I hope I'm as rocking as Sophia when I'm older, that's for sure.
{I Heart the Golden Girls Book in my Etsy}

I also made a few mini mirrors with each of them, cause it's fun to tote a Golden Girl in your pocket.

The always sweet Erin Loechner (of Design for Mankind) is HGTV.com's newest blogger. This is the start of her home renovation! I illustrated the intro, so have a look!

Sunrise Pattern Pillow Cover on Envelop

{patterns on the pillows!}

{front and back patterns}

{here's how it all started}

I've been having trouble sleeping lately {what's new right} but have been getting up in the middle of the night and drawing out pages and pages of these crazy OCD patterns. My favorite is the one on the left {above} and I have uploaded it to Envelop and colorized it to make a mighty fine pillow cover. It's called "Sunrise" and it's a mix of many of the elements I use in my illustrations, but arranged into a landscape type pattern.

Printing

A project I was set to launch yesterday has been delayed due to a printing mixup where I received a box with a Magicians print order instead of mine. While fun, that does put a kink in things. So! In place of that news, this is a sneak peek of some textile printing I'm working on. It's part of a MUCH larger project, but to keep the element of surprise, this is just the tip!

Sunrise Pattern

this is a new pattern series I'm working on.

happy early weekend everyone!

Mail Presents from Jen!

Yesterday was a wonderful mail day: magazines, no overdue notices, and a pretty present from Jen (hellojenuine). It's so lovely to get real mail these days and her package of goodies was just the thing to start the week off right. I taped up the "If in doubt, bake a cake" postcard in my kitchen and had a wonderful time sifting through a mini zine, pinning on a new button and swooning over prints. Thanks Jen! (ps. love the gridded tape on the envelope!)

A Small Home Improvement Project

{before}

{before--clearly}

{voila!}
Until recently, my kitchen's main functions were shipping supply storage, and me standing at the counter munching on crackers; but, last weekend, I purchased a table and 3 chairs from a very nice Portlander who is relocating. But it needed a bit of work {see above, haha}. I spent last sunday fixing spindles, sanding splinters and repainting the chairs, and as if by magic here they are!

Society 6 Print Shop Goodies

Society6 has opened up it's very own print shop which is now able to do both iphone and laptop skins like the partnership they recently launched with Urban Outfitters. I uploaded these two designs yesterday, "The Climbers" is one of my favorites, I'm very glad they've chosen that one. The other piece "In a Pretty Land" was originally made as part of RVLVR.
If you're interested, please help me spread the word!
