Something Springy

 

 

A mixed media bird piece inspired by the robins I see hoping around my yard in the early morning.

A hopeful sign of spring for sure!  

Spring forward

 

      

           Great news–the sun called and she has agreed to stick around a little longer each day! 🌞

Planes and other Flying Machines

 

 

 

Last week a new Hello, World! title flew onto the shelves.  Planes and other Flying Machines is an exploration of different devices you’ll find in the sky.  From hot air balloons, sea planes, hang gliders, drones to rockets– there’s a lot of flying machines.  It’s my hope that this book inspires budding travelers and engineers.  Did you know the Wright brothers designed a wooden plane they successfully flew on December 17, 1903? (Making them first in flight!)

 

Something to remember

 

Especially when parts of the world are in peril and situations feel bigger than you could imagine.

Winter pattern making

 

Did you know Sunday March 20 is officially the last day of winter?  Which means we're nearly there!  I made this pattern in one of my mini sketchbooks.  Sometimes when I unwind at night I'll make a pattern or small unplanned illustration as a way to let my mind wander & it's usually based off the season or something on my mind.  This one was made with Copic markers and pen.

You're my cup of tea!

 

                      Just thought you should know.  Happy Valentine's Day!                        

FEBRUARY

Hello, February!  This month makes me think of LOVE.  Guess I bought into the whole Valentine's day thing.  You get a hug, you get a hug, you get a hug!

I'm shy and not much of a physical hugger but, deep down I like to think my art feels like a warm, happy hug.  (which may be the next best thing)
