Printing NEW card design--getting ready for show!

While I am printing cards & having the printer do other new designs, I have been working on a canvas for a September art show!

Creating Quinceañera Invitations for a friend. Here is one of them:

I just created this & I love it! Did it in Hello! Now I can offer other languages, like Hallo for German!

Getting ready for a Craft Show (Hudson) & a Weekend Store Sale (West Side)

On Saturday, May 12, I will be sharing a table with another etsian artist at The Oddmall Emporium of the Weird (which has a bit of that) at the Clarion Hotel in Hudson, Ohio. I went last year & I liked a lot of the stuff people were selling. 

My partner that day is Lisa from Green Yogini selling friendship bracelets & other handmade things. See http://www.etsy.com/shop/greenyogini

Then on the weekend of June 15-17 the store, Room Service on West 25th St. & Lorain will be selling MADE in the 216 products. Here is one of the card racks I bought so they can be properly seen. Last time all my cards were jammed in a basket so it was hard to spot them.

Planning to offer Birthday PDFs in etsy

This is one of the special Birthday invitations I will be posting in etsy. I have 4 models for girls to choose from. This is definitely NOT a theme character birthday--but a creative & fun attraction to announce for a birthday. This was a custom request from a client in PR. 

It's that time of the year---First Communion invitations

I just created this version for a client. Waiting to see if they like this.

Workshop with illustrator William Stout

My son & I participated in a workshop where the famous illustrator, William Stout gave us tips on drawing dinosaurs & mythical creatures. Marco was a bit cranky in the morning. By the end of the workshop, he was happy to be there. An interesting note about Mr. Stout is that he was the inspiration for Michael Crichton to write the book Jurassic Park. At the last page of the book, his name is mentioned. He did gave ideas to the set designer for the movie.

Following is William Stout's Phoenix--Marco requested this one.

This one was made by Marco.
