New Work, Updates, etc.

This has been one of my busier weeks. I am trying to post a couple of times a week with new work, ideas, inspirations etc. I am juggling several projects, but really wanted to work on this underwater juvenile piece that I managed to finish. I am hoping to market it as wall art. I did two companion pieces for it as well. I would love feedback. Also, I found out that a fruit print I recently did was purchased by Crate and Barrel. I have also been busy reviewing layouts for the October release of fabrics which is going to be a Creatures and Critters group. So far they are looking promising. There are nine fabrics in this collection including reptiles, snails, birds, bugs, and monkeys. Lots of fun! Can't wait to actually see the finished fabrics.

Tag, you're it!



This is a dino print that Flapdoodles bought and developed into a tee. It was a print from the dino group that I featured in previous postings below.

Some inspiration from Mary Fedden





I recently discovered Mary Fedden, a British artist. I added her to my "artists that inspire me" list, but the images on the Tate Gallery link do not completely do her justice. Here are a few of her pieces that I particularly like that I found recently while searching the internet. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
