It’s been two and half months since a razor has touched my face. Call it lazy, call it identity crisis or call it trendy. I call it just plain wanted a beard. Now I have asked my facebook friends to make the call! Shave it or keep it. On Friday, May 20th the decision will be made.
In the meantime I have posted some key insights about beards.
Working on a card for Mother’s Day. Developed these two characters – momma penguin and baby penguin.
Here’s a new character and illustration print that can be found in my etsy.com shop.
Medium is pen and ink with digital art.
I simply love coffee. I love to smell it, taste it and drink it. I am a coffee addict. I drink at least 5-6 cups a day. Now that may seem like a small amount to some but I think that qualifies me as an addict.
I began to think how others might be effect by coffee. Imagine a dairy farmer going into Starbucks for a cup of joe. Or what would a caffeine driven person look like without their java. Well, here are some fun illustrations that might paint the picture.
Another card line I have developed is called Papillons & Baille.
Papillons is french for Butterflies and Baille is the name of the girl on the cards. Baille is fascinated with butterflies and always has her teddy bear by her side. The style of art is similar to a story book influence. The cards include French captions with English translations below each. Inside copy for each includes:
You are delightful (front copy) – One of a kind wonderful creation. (inside copy).
I am Sorry (front copy) – An apology is a sweet fragrance. (inside copy).
Cheers (front copy) – Here for you during the lows and the highs. (inside copy).

I have developed a card line based upon the panda character I have developed. It’s called “Sweet Pandamonium”. The main character is the panda and it includes a bird that is always there to comfort and support him. These cards can be found on etsy at http://www.etsy.com/listing/68857369/sweet-pandamonium-6-card-pack.
I have taken the panda illustrations I like to do to the next level. I have been playing off the “P” in panda with famous celebrities with beards or mustaches. So, the obvious one is Mr. T. Look for Magnum P.I. and Kernel Panders.
The title of the book is “Gotcha Day Blessing.” Gotcha Day is a commonly used term in adoption communities. It refers to the day the family received their adopted child. This is a day that families can celebrate the joy and happiness that has come to them through becoming an adoptive family.
A beautifully written 16-page book. Also, includes an area to personalize with child’s name and their “Gotcha Day”. Also two pages to record special memories and waiting for that special child.
You can purchase this book for $5 at the following link:
