This illustration goes back to my Kansas roots.  Although I’ve never farmed a day in my life unless you count our modest vegetable garden a few years back.

Here’s another new illustration. I’ve had this one in my head for a while so it was nice to finally see it take shape. The original ink drawing is also part of the Enormous Tiny Art Show.  Enjoy!

I recently completed a new set of illustrations!  I will post them here over the next few days.  This one is based off of a drawing that’s currently part of the Enormous Tiny Art Show.  Enjoy!

Erin’s been working like crazy on our first product for droplet.  It’s a ‘print and make’ calendar and planner pdf and it’s really cool.  Here’s Erin with the details:

It took me forever to do this, but I finally turned my custom planner designs into a printable pdf format, complete with detailed instructions! (Needless to say I am quite excited!) I adjusted the designs to fit perfectly onto standard letter size paper, and created 3 assembly options to suit the needs of different people. The options include either placing the pages into a 3-ring binder (letter size or half size), or binding the pages with a multi-section binding. If you are interested, a digital file is available for purchase in our new “print and make” Etsy shop: droplet! (The page designs, as well as instructions for all 3 assembly options are included in the digital file.)

Erin and I finally decided to combine our creative efforts, and the result?… droplet! We just started up a brand new Etsy shop devoted entirely to “print and make” projects. Stay tuned for exciting projects and designs for you to print and make!

Twice a year Nahcotta, a small gallery in Portsmouth New Hampshire, hosts its Enormous Tiny Art Show.  I participated in the September show and was asked back for the February 6th through March 2nd showing.  This show must have been a nightmare to hang as more than 50 artists contributed several hundred tiny art pieces that each measured ten by ten square inches or less.  Many thanks to Nahcott for their hard work and continued dedication to tiny art!

All of the artwork is for sale at the gallery or online.
