Patterns!

I've just been going to town on some of these new techniques I've been figuring out, I feel like a child again!  I decided to try out patterns in this little ditty, here ya go.  And Merry Christmas you filthy animal!

For my Sister

So the illustration has continued and I'm trying out new things.  I created this poster for my sister, trying to capture a sort of 1960s-endless-summer-but-for-a-girl vibe.  She tried to play it cool when I gave it to her but I could tell she liked it (for the win!)

Getting back to my Roots

Lately I've been getting back to my roots and doing a lot of illustration.  As much as I love love LOVE design, it has felt good to be creating original things rather than compiling objects, although I love the creative challenge in that as well.  It all started one night when I couldn't sleep and decided to turn my neice into a Christmas elf.  It seems to help me to have a "story" to go along with the picture, even if it's just one line.  Then of course I had to do all her sisters too.  You can see a bit of my evolution as I tried out different techniques between photoshop and illustrator.  I'm excited to see where this takes me.  Also, aren't my nieces the CUTEST??

I Heart Dr. Who

So for the last couple of months Ben and I have fallen in love with the 11th Doctor from the Dr. Who series.  We are totally new to the series but I already know he's the best Doctor.  I'm also having a little baby and woke up in the middle of the night thinking how cool it would be to have some nerdy prints for his someday room.  Nerds are the best.  I finally got around to making them but here is my Dr. Who series:

Theme from Episode "Cold Blood"

Quote also from "Cold Blood" episode that I thought applied easily to babies.

The Doctor says this a lot.  And he wears a fez sometimes.  Fezzes are cool.
