Summer Love

/

  Here’s a happy snail proclaiming his Summer Love, a new picture I drew to send out as a hello and as an Etsy print. Here where I live in the northeast of England, starting about now there are a plethora of adorable snails roaming the sidewalks as soon as the sun begins to set.

Spring Inspiration

/

  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!

  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

New Print — Foxxxxxy

I’ve had a hankering to draw a fun fox lately, and thinking about foxes makes me think about one of my favorite 80’s epithets — Foxy. Why don’t we call people foxy anymore? I think we should all start using this adorable, woodland-scented compliment whenever we want to tell someone they’re attractive. In honor of
