While looking through old sketchbooks from the 90's, we came across this rather hilarious tongue-in-cheek "self portrait" sketch. Have NO idea when exactly it was done (or, for that matter, why!) but it was fun to see it again.

Here's another pattern we did with Fabric Traditions. This one is awash in glitter! Very sparkly.

It's Fabric!
It's almost Springtime, which means Halloween is just around the corner! Just received samples of some fun fabric we did for our friends at Fabric Traditions. Here's a little snippet of the over all design. This pattern will be available at Joann stores later this year.

The Woods Are Full Of Song
"Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best." --Henry van Dyke
Birds. Aren't they just the best? And they make for such a wide-ranging design motif. Birds, either in flight or balancing on a branch, give us a way to represent the qualities we'd like to see in ourselves.

Cool, Tasseled, Magnetic
Just got a big box of samples! Bookmarks we designed for our friends at Magnetic Bookmark. We really like how they turned out. The print quality is great-- so is the finishing. They have a nice "feel" to them. 48 designs in the initial release-- Tasseled Bookmarks, Die-cut Bookmarks, and cute little fold-over bookmarks with interior magnets. Fun!

Le Hibou d' Hiver
It's midnight and all is still. Even the owls begin to close their saucer eyes. The snow gently falls, hiding the acorns that the squirrels will find in the springtime.

East Village Music Boy
This brand new illustration began as a little sketchbook drawing of a guy we saw recently. He was dragging his empty red wagon around the East Village, carrying a big tote bag full of various drum sticks. Was he on his way to pick up his drums? Or maybe take the entire band for a spin? As the illustration grew, so did the band. (Wouldn't you love to hear the music that this combination of instruments might make?) And the guy in the sketch somehow transformed into somewhat of a self portrait. Except my cool faux-coon cap has been AWOL since the 80's.
