In honor of it being the day before Thanksgiving, I’d like to share a fun assignment I had this year that is Thanksgiving themed! It’s a reusable grocery bag for Publix grocery stores, featuring their signature pilgrim characters. These pudgy little pilgrims are a perennial favorite for the Publix stores, and they appear as […]
Happy Halloween everyone! In honor of the spookiest holiday I drew this homage to one of the scariest characters out there — Dracula. In Bram Stoker’s original tale, Dracula is said to come to the shores of England at Whitby, during a foreboding, terrible storm. Whitby is just an hour and a half away
I can’t believe it’s the last day of September already! While the falling temperatures and shorter days create that cozy, crisp feeling of autumn they’re also a good reminder that the holidays will soon be upon us.

Here are some colorful fluttering butterflies for the start of summer. I love the infinite variety of wing shapes, colors and patterns that can be found in butterflies, and I had a great time making up my own imaginary butterflies! Available as an Etsy print, too!
One great advantage to living in England is that spring arrives so much earlier than it did in Chicago. As early as the first week of February, snowdrops were popping up everywhere! They were followed by profusions of crocuses a couple of weeks later, and then a few weeks ago masses of daffodils took
Happy New Year! To kick off 2014, I’m excited to share the entire collection of greeting cards that I created for A Smyth Co., all of which are now printed and ready to be sold in a card boutique near you! I received my samples of the cards and I am just thrilled with them.
