My Super Self

As I've mentioned before, I'm proud to be the official illustrator for the League of Extraordinary Penpals (there's still time to sign up for the reduced rate)! Julie and Laura wanted me to do a self-portrait for the website, and I was happy to oblige... my superhero name would be "Lady Stardust" of course (if it hadn't been taken already it would be my derby name, haha!) and my super weapon is my tablet pen!! As far as the super-obvious color theme goes... I have to admit I've been having a love affair with red & blue for the last two years. I just can't get enough of that combo! ♥

You know what I realized? This image is reversed. That's what I get for looking in a mirror! I'm right handed and my part is on the left side of my head. HAH. Oops.

So this is how I like to imagine myself in spandex. And that's all I got for today.

Hello There!

So, I am too impatient to wait until AFTER the holidays and closer to my Launch Day to start blogging... I cannot resist, I am a show off. Also I was afraid that David Bowie with a pistol would scare people off (you have not seen the last of that guy).

I've been working away on stationary & card designs! My goal for Launch Day: Have three letterset designs and a Valentine's Day design available for purchase! I'm over halfway there, just one letterset to go! Still a lot to do besides designing the actual products, but that bit is pretty crucial. ;) I'm thinking I may take pre-orders (because I'm impatient like that, see above) on all four until I can actually get them printed mid-January... I dunno, that might be a terrible idea. Thoughts on Pre-orders?

So without further ado, here are two preview paintings of some upcoming letterset designs which will be made available in January!

"Catscratch"

"Cafe Coffee Day"

I will continue to share designs as I make them and some random doodles & drawings just for kicks. I'll be posting the Valentine's Day previews after the holidays; I'm especially excited about those, so I'll save them for later. ;) You can also expect some incoming & outgoing mail art once I'm home again and can respond to letters in a more timely fashion! I've been sending letters & postcards like crazy this last week in anticipation of having a "permanent" residence again!

Again, please check out the awesome blogs on the right while I get things rolling! =)
