New Work and Something More

Make sure to find the coupon code hidden inside

For the past few weeks I have been working on a lot of different projects as well as updating my portfolio. I started by creating the templates for each page and adding a few sample illustrations to each of the different sections. It is still and pretty much always will be a work in progress as I create more art to be adding to it.

I have also updated my website to have a full portfolio site for industry professionals looking for art licensing pieces.

I have really been working on getting back to working with digital art again and shaking out the cobwebs on my iPad. I have been working with traditional supplies for most of the past year and not really been using my iPad for more than just editing the tradition art or correcting line work, and keeping YouTube going in the background while I was painting, and because of this I felt like I had gotten a little bit rusty with my digital illustration skills. So I decided that trying to create something every day on my iPad was a great plan. So I began working on small simple illustrations and the flowers and cacti where what I started with. Then I moved on to working on the interior scene thats below. That one took a couple of days to finish as I am working on this in between other projects that I have going.

After work on these for a week I decided I wanted to practice making patterns again and all I want to do right now is make patterns. They are a little more time consuming for me but I feel like now that I have made a few I have a faster workflow. I hope to have all of these available over on my Spoonflower shop soon. I am just waiting on the samples to be printed so I can check the repeats. If you don’t know what Spoonflower is, it is a company in Raleigh, North Carolina that produces fabric and home decor items that are made to order. So you can order as little as an 8”x8” swatch of fabric all the way up to many yards of fabric. I have been on the site for a while now and I have a good many fabrics available there.

I am also prepping and working on products for market season that starts for me in April. I will also have these items on my Etsy shop. I have added a few new items to the shop already as well as some bestsellers that are in the shop.
