In the Hood!

Here is a sweet custom illustration I just finished for a client. To me, this little guy just looks like Robin Hood. I am going to do another in a fedora, a little Bogart action, he he, so we'll see what kind of actor he can be!

It is such a joy to me to share my love of animals with others and to be able to take an image and make some itty bitty fantasy of it!

I hope you enjoy this piece.

Dog Caricatures!

A lot of people do amazing portraits of kids and dogs!

Since I do a lot of cartoon art, I thought it would be fun to do dog caricatures. I hope you like these, a bulldog, a weimaraner, and a Jack Russell.

If you are interested in a cartoon portrait of your dog, let me know!

Have great day!

Old-Timey Dreamboats

I finally finished up my Old-Timey Dreamboat series! These handsome old-fashioned hunks are all uploaded to Etsy and ready for your perusal and love. :)

Old Timey Dreamboats

I just uploaded a bunch of dapper new gentlemen to my etsy account. I love not only these gents, but my description of them, which I spent some time crafting. If you have any critiques of the men or the description, I'd love them!

"I love old-timey gentlemen, with their facial hair and fancy formal dress. I like how some of them used to wear corsets. I adore side-parts and side-burns.

I have translated this love into a series of original ACEOs celebrating dreamboats of times of yore. Come along with me as we explore these hot gentlemen.

If one strikes your fancy, you can take him home with you, or perhaps carry him in your wallet so you can always see the man that is away fighting bravely for you. He is original, and will never be duplicated, so you know that he is your one true soul mate, and yours alone.

Each of these dapper chaps is 2.5" by 3.5", perfect for trading card sleeves, wallet sleeves, and little frames. The small size means affordability so you can start your art and keepsake collection. Each fellow is encased lovingly in a card sleeve, then placed in a sturdy envelope. He will arrive to you via letter-post. If I could arrange for him to arrive via pony express, I would, but alas, those guys don't come around enough for that to be a reliable mode of transportation.

If you'd like, you may take a gander at the whole collection (pictured second) and let your heart go a-flutter at all of the gentlemen gathered in one spot."

Close Your Eye's And Dream A Dream

There is an old time song called Dream A Dream.
There is a child's program called sprout that Julia watches all the time.
The first time I ever heard her sing this song I was so in love with her voice. She sings it so softly and unlike any other songs she sings. I was inspired to do this design because of her!
I hope you like it you can find it in my Etsy shop!
