Check it out! Super Squirrel & Super Sushi asked if I would share a bit of my illustration process for the portraits I make for the LEP monthly newsletter, and my post was published yesterday!

It's not even April...
...and I've already got my Mother's Day cards ready to print! I badly wanted to be considered for Poppytalk's Mother's Day Market so I busted 'em out in less than 24 hours. Feeling pretty smug right now.
What do you think?? Which one is your favorite? I love animals. I need to make more animal stationery.
Up next is Secretary's Day, coming in April! We secretaries need appreciation too. I already have the illustration for that one inked, it just needs some color & prep for print! It should be available within the next week also.
Oh, and because I said I'd share some exciting news this week, I will share some exciting news: My husband Jamie got into grad school for mathematics! Which means we will be moving somewhere new & interesting in July! This has been a goal of his for years, so it's great that it's finally coming true. ♥
Well, now it's time for some letter-writing & mail art. I think I earned it.

Like Some Cat from Japan
I was busy today. One viewing of Velvet Goldmine & 3 Bowie albums later, I made a whole new stationery design from start to finish. You know you are excited for some David Bowie stationery, yes you are!
So be looking for that new listing in a week or so!
What I should have been working on:
But who wants THOSE when they can have BOWIE?? Am I right?
Oh. I just came up with a brilliant idea like just now. David Bowie Birthday Cards. Man, I am so clever. Now I just need a catchy phrase, like "Ziggy says have a rockin' birthday." Wow, that is lame. This is why I let Jamie write the jokes and I just draw the pictures... But now I don't have to come up with random generic birthday cards, I have them MADE! Oh boy! I really don't know if this is considered efficiency or laziness...
Ok, now I'm rambling. I apologize. I have just spent the last six hours in Bowie-land. It's disorienting.
What I should have been working on:
- Mothers Day Cards
- Birthday Cards
- Happy Engagement/Baby/Wedding/Retirement Cards
- You know, practical things...

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.
