Earlier this year, I was fortunate enough to work on the cover of the second book in Denise Swanson’s Devereaux’s Dime Store mystery series, called Nickeled-and-Dimed to Death. The book, published by Signet, is now available on Amazon.com and in book stores! It was a fun project to work on, particularly the contrast of the […]
I just posted this new illustration as a print for sale on Etsy! Who doesn’t love a turquoise vintage bike, and why not have a lion riding it? And every lion out for a fun bike ride needs his dog along for the ride in a basket up front. Drawing this made me think
Today you can check out an interview I did with Chantal of Chantal Loves Vintage! Chantal lives in Sherbourne, England and keeps a great blog about vintage finds, Etsy artisans and other fun stuff. We met via Etsy, and she has her own Etsy shop full of colorful vintage goods. Doing this interview was
I just added this narwhal to my Etsy offerings! The Foxy fox print sold really well the last few months (THANKS to everyone who bought one!) so I decided to add a few more prints featuring unique animals and encouraging words. This narwhal is the first, since I know a lot of folks out

I’ve been having fun experimenting with some funny animal drawings using lots of pattern and lines. This first drawing was what I sent my dad for a father’s day card back in June, and the second one is just a summery drawing of a lion and an antelope on a bike ride through the country.
Here’s a flower I drew for this year’s Mother’s Day card. And my mom just got hers in the mail, so it’s safe to post! ;o) I’m incredibly fortunate to have not only a mom but also a mother-in-law who are super supportive and hang my pictures on their walls. It is such a wonderful
This is another book cover that I illustrated recently for the excellent people at Penguin books. The book is called Little Shop of Homicide, and is the first in the new Devereaux’s Dime Store Mystery series by Denise Swanson.
