New iMac ...

My yahoo account & Facebook were hacked by a Nigerian (organization) sending  a scam that I needed Euros because I was mugged in Spain. I am not really using that yahoo email & Facebook is now giving me trouble that I am logging into an insecure website. PINTA.
Now I have a Mac ProBook so I can be more mobile & be able to show my work to places. I have to transfer files into the new one. So many things to do.
Going to show my cards for a Holiday Bazaar soon. Hopefully I can sell them there.
Back to doing stuff.

Thinking of the past

This is back in 1975? when Big Wheels were all the rage. Just getting ideas on how to do some illustrations. Drawing some dahlias & other flowers, babushkas, more birds...

I just inquired about who to contact at Martha Stewart magazine to feature a small pix of my Tweet&Flora cards. 

"My purpose is to bring a chuckle and a smile to people who receive Tweet&Flora cards".

I have to go & buy more paper. Later, dudes.

Learning Floral Design

I finally have learned by osmosis to do small arrangements. Tammy from the www.Height Floral Shoppe has a great talent in doing loose, European "gardeny" arrangements using 3 set of different flowers. Here I just chose fuschia gerberas, with bupleurum as a foundation and hypericum berries for an accent in a small white ceramic vase. Very summery.
So, besides illustrator, graphic designer, I can cal myself an amateur floral designer.

 

A Double message for Cleveland from Pingquik

Today I created this image using Pingquik dreaming about making it in the music business and promoting Cleveland. This could be great for t-shirts and a print, cards. etc....
Any comments? The font? colors?

Personalized Stationery

I created this personalized card for my niece showing her dog & location.

I have been Etsy Stalked!

I forgot to announce that this group of etsy curators chose my LOVE-PEACE-JOY Tweet&Flora cards for their site! Unfortunately, I think the next day that item expired in etsy! It is now back up plus the assortment of greeting cards from my little birds.

I have to paint for the NOIS show, but I don't think I am going to make it.

Tweet&Flora Calling card to give away in gifts

I am having a lot of fun designing Tweet images. This card I gave to my friends who were moving away as a gift that they can use to place on gifts or to give to new people they meet.

• I can add more information on the back such as email or cell phone #s.
• Anyone interested, business size card 2 x 3.5" on nice cover stock paper in bright white using archival      (pigment) inks.
• 20 cards for $12 or 30 cards for $18
• I can also make this bigger for Note cards, a print to have it framed, etc...
I will post this in etsy soon.
