Scratch and Sniff Ice Cream Stickers

Due to the wildly popular Yum Scratch and Sniff Stickers I did for Peaceable Kingdom, they asked me to design some ice cream flavors to sell in cleverly designed packs.  The flavors are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mint.

New Cards with Great Arrow Graphics

I have a couple of new greeting cards that just debuted with Great Arrow Graphics.  Their hand silkscreened cards are made in Buffalo, NY and are always beautiful.  You can purchase these two designs on their website here and here as well as in various stores around the country.

Print & Pattern Blog

I was excited to see that I was featured today on the Print Pattern Blog!   Check it out HERE!  Thank you to Bowie Style for that!!  I have enjoyed reading and looking at all of the amazing design and illustration on Print Pattern for a long time and it is terrific to be featured.

Valentine Cards with Peaceable Kingdom at Target

My packets of Valentine Cards for Kids are currently for sale at your neighborhood Target store!  These packs of 30 cards are published by Peaceable Kingdom.  We sold packets with different designs last year and they were a big hit at Target.  Each packet sells for $2.99.

Owl Pillows

Here are some more pillows now available in my Etsy shop, Pictorialboom.  As with my other pillows, I hired a fabric company to print the designs on cotton, and then my friend Nancy turned the fabric into finished pillows.  These owl designs are also available as canvas prints in my shop as well as art prints on paper.  You can find them for sale as pillows here and here.

Exclamation Point and Ampersand Pillows

I have two more pillows to show you.  As with my other pillows, I hired a fabric company to print the designs on cotton, and then my friend Nancy turned the fabric into finished pillows that I am selling in my Etsy shop, Pictorialboom.  I did a greeting card last year for Trader Joe's that featured an exclamation point.  It was a striking design, so I thought it might be nice as a pillow.  I didn't want the exclamation point to be lonely, so I added an ampersand design as well.  Using the punctuation marks as design elements adds a clever conversational aspect to the pillows.  You can find them here and here in my Etsy shop.

Peacock Pillow

I hired a fabric company to print my peacock artwork onto cotton fabric and my friend Nancy has made pillows from it!  The fabric is a cotton linen blend and looks really nice.  The pillows are for sale here in my Etsy shop, Pictorialboom.

Painted Ceiling

We like to treat every room in our house like a gem, so recently we decided our little hallway should have a painted pattern on the ceiling.  There is a stairway, two bedroom doors, a bathroom door and a large opening into the living room in this space and the walls are a medium shade of aqua.  We chose a soft, light aqua and orange to coordinate with the living room.

Marking and taping off the design was the most difficult.  After that it was just a matter of filling in the spaces with paint.  A word to the wise, you should peel the tape off while the paint is still wet to insure a clean line that doesn't pull off more of the paint than is desirable.

We finished off the project with a retro looking light that has an edison bulb.  I think the final piece of the puzzle will be adding crown moldings to add some nice detail to this little space!  I really enjoy seeing the pattern as I climb the stairs from the lower level.

Gallery Wrapped Canvases on Etsy

I have taken a few of my designs and had them reproduced as gallery wrapped canvas prints.  I'm happy with the way the designs travel around the sides of the wooden frames adding dimension and interest from any viewing angle.  They are currently for sale in my Etsy shop.  You can see them here, here, and here!

Pet Pals

Happy 2012!  I am starting the new Year on my blog with something from the past.  I created a bath collection for kids a while ago called Pet Pals.  I had a great time creating the little dogs and cats that make up the collection.  There was a nice range of products from a shower curtain, towels, curtain rings, a bath rug, tissue box, soap dispensers, a soap dish, and a trash can!  Seeing my two dimensional paintings transformed into three dimensional product was so exciting and rewarding.  All the best to you this year!

Happy Holidays!

Hurray for the Holidays!  Being able to spend it with family and friends and take a little time off work sounds terrific to me right about now.  All the best to you during this festive season!
