For Ed

Tonight I'm a tired, weary cowboy. Been up in my saddle all day.
Searchin' high hills and low valleys for cattle who've all strayed away.
My horse is tired and weary too, his legs are aching and sore.
But someday our work will be over, and we'll ride off to that other shore.

1913-2008
We miss you, pardner.

Yak & Yeti

Things to carry on the trail: (a) an open mind, (b) your sketchbook, (c) a small gift. You never know who you might meet.
By the way... if you're headed to Bhutan, be sure to check out the tips we wrote for our friend's website. While yeti sightings are rare, you'll scarcely go 15 minutes between a yak sightings!

Maneki Neko

The super-famous Beckoning Cat of Japan. Without even trying, we've accumulated quite a collection. It's hard to turn a corner in our house without running into one. This particular cat turned up in a new collection of designs that we just finished up last week.

Thinking Of You, Mom. Today And Always.

Just got these samples of Mother's Day cards we designed for Sunrise Greetings. As you can see, this spring you'll be able to send up to 7 cards to your mom. She'll be very happy to see that each card features beautiful full-color printed exteriors AND interiors! And, hey, check out the special printing processes... I do believe I see a little die-cut action, and oh man, is that foil? Why, yes it is! Nice.

Town & Country

Does it matter where the road is headed? Sometimes it's best to just crank up the tunes and drive.

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

Looking back through old sketchbooks, it's surprising to see so many dogs! Our sketchbooks are filled with Fox Terriers and French Bulldogs. Brimming with Beagles and Basenjis. Loaded with Labs and Lhasa Apsos. Jam-packed with Jack Russells. Awash in Akitas and Airedales. Chock-full of Corgis, Chihuahuas, and Cavalier King Charles. Stuffed with Salukis and Shih Tzus. Packed with Pomerians, Pugs, and Papillons. Whew-- time for a walk!
