Award-winning Illustrator for Publishing & KidLit | Art Licensing | Murals | I'm a fun and professional artist!
Hi?,?how are things on your end? Just popping my head in the door with a few illustration samples for you.
I'd love to know if you've got any ideas for a custom art project or illustration!?Please hit reply to this email and let me know, and we can start working out the specifics of your ideas, timeline, and budget.
You can always contact me directly at?[email protected]?or call/text?(714) 655-5272?to start chatting about your upcoming project.?
It's so exciting to tell you I've been working on a community participation piece of art with?Visit Henry County?and?Atlanta Motor Speedway! It's rare that I'll show process work in my newsletter, but I want you to have all the info on this?as early as possible just in case you want tickets.
Once the drawing is complete, it'll be printed large scale and will be displayed with Visit Henry County in the?Fan Zone at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the?Quaker State 400 on?July 9 &?10?where the community will be coloring it! So basically - if you love cars and you want to be part of a community art project that will be on display at the racetrack afterward, get on it!
It's juuuuuust a tad early for Christmas in July but I have a good excuse! I'm currently preparing to head to?The Highlights Foundation?in July for their Illustration Intensive Summer Camp. Be ready, y'all. I've got like 20 bazillion book ideas and I'm pushing forward!?
So in the meantime - if you're in the art licensing realm you may be working on Christmas 2023 currently.?If that's you, reply to this email and let me know! I've got a pdf I can send you of cute fun?Christmas art I'd love to see licensed on products. I'll also be sharing some cute Christmas?pieces on?Facebook?and?Instagram?over this next week.
(Just note you will need to register on the Artonomo site, but it's painless and free and you get to flip through a ton of cute art!)
I uploaded a couple of new Christmas pieces to my?RedBubble?and?TeePublic?shops this week!
Each shop is a little different - TeePublic is great for tee shirts (duh lol), and lots of fun little gift items. RedBubble can be a tad pricier, but allows for repeat patterns on fun things like leggings, socks, dresses, and backpacks.?Both are great for checking out what my artwork looks like mocked up?on lots of different products, and for getting some super early Christmas shopping done!
As always, my illustration work is great for licensing as is or as a starting point for your own art needs. If you’re loving what you’re seeing and you’re ready to work on a project together, you can always hit reply or email?[email protected]?to discuss your project, timeline, and budget. I’m also available by phone at?(714) 655-5272?or zoom if that’s your preferred communication method.
Have a great week my friends!?Congrats to last newsletter's winner Stacie Brown, who will be receiving a free journal in the mail!
