  • My Bobblehead Dwight Schrute Painting is the First of its Kind!

    My Bobblehead Dwight Schrute Painting is the First of its Kind!

    I first got the idea to do a bobblehead Dwight Schrute painting a couple of years ago. You know me – I’m all about ridiculousness. One day, I was exploring and just playing around in my sketchbook, trying to come up with ideas for what my next painting would be. I posted a picture of…

  • Sketchbook Ideas for Artists and Doodlers

    My sketchbook project for 2015 has been going like gangbusters, guys. I’m so excited to report that it’s really been fueling my creativity. Ideas for client projects seem to flow faster and easier; if you’re a work at home mom like me, you know how important being efficient in the office is! I wanted to…

  • Four Years as a Self Employed Designer

    Today is pretty dang special to me. December 1 is my self employed anniversary; I’m overjoyed to share I’ve been running this business full time, and our bills have been paid, for four solid years. Four years. It still feels so fresh – coming off of maternity leave with Phil, going in to the office…

  • No Way! Yes Way! – One of My Favorite Things in Watercolor Form

    One of my favorite things Phil and I say to each other happens when he’s very earnestly telling me a story. “No way!” I’ll say enthusiastically. “Yes way!” He’ll yell back. I’m pretty sure I didn’t really teach him that. I’m kind of enjoying the creative downtime I’ve been allowing myself in the office this…

  • Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!

    Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all!…

  • Show and Tell: Nature Skull Tee at Kohl’s

    We don’t always hear where our tee designs end up when working on projects for clients, so it’s always super fun to run across a design unexpectedly! Visit Kohl’s now and you can pick up this Nature Skull tee we worked on: This design for the Mudd brand features lots of vector silhouettes of birds and forest…

  • Show and Tell: Le Modern Trinket Site Design

    We had recently designed new hang tags and business cards for Christina Sanchez of Le Modern Trinket, and she was so pleased with our work she asked if we could overhaul her website as well! Using our favorite highly customizeable WordPress template, we revamped the site to be more search-engine friendly, adding plugins to allow…

  • Show and Tell: Random Nicole Blog Redesign

    Nicole Stevenson of Random Nicole recently asked if we could rework her blog to be a little more visually appealing, and a little more integrated into her website. Her starting point was like many small biz websites – a great website that links to an external blog hosted elsewhere (in Random Nicole’s case, Typepad). The…

  • Show and Tell: Hearts and Laserbeams in HOW Magazine

    A couple of months ago, I saw Fab.com had a discount on subscriptions to HOW Magazine. I’m not sure why I never got this graphic design mag before – oh wait I just glanced at one and the cover price is like $10.95. That explains it. So this week, I received HOW Magazine’s November 2011…

  • Show and Tell: Real Hot Dog Tee

    Three cheers to eagle eye’d Aaryn Nutter for spotting one of my designs on the Urban Outfitters website! I created this t-shirt for CDC Apparel last year and am super jazzed it got printed. Click here to buy one for the guy in your life! (Photo from the Urban Outfitters website.)

  • What a Feelin’

    The house we live in was built in the 50’s, and has little to no insulation. Pair that with my “cold at the drop of a hat” tendencies, and you get a stash of cute scarves, mittens, hats and wristwarmers in convenient places around the house. The other day, Phil found my warmy warm stash…

  • Show and Tell: Sailor Beary Art

    Life is so busy, Josh and I don’t get many opportunities to collaborate on artwork. So when we came up with comedy gold for his brother Chris’ birthday, we jumped at the chance to make photoshop magic happen. We had all been out to Savannah at the end of April, and while there our friend…
