All My Heart Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak peek of All My Heart, a new collection with Robert Kaufman. It coordinates with the cupcakes also from this collection.

There are a couple more color stories with this collection that are not shown here (Strawberry, Licorice, and Lemon) . I will show the whole collection when I receive the actual fabrics. They will be available retail in January and are available for wholesale orders now.

Book Give Away!

I have three copies of "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield to give away to three Red Fish Circle readers. If you are interested please leave a comment and I will announce three winners and ship out your copy next week.

Two Steps Forward - One Giant Step Back

Wow, this week just flew by and I realized I didn't post anything. I have been having fun working with some new clients and trying to stretch my work a bit in new directions. I was pulling together some images and came across this old work that I thought I would share. Two jungle animal pieces, very abstract and fanciful. In a way I feel I have come far from this work (particularly in understanding clients' needs) and at the same time feel that I have completely regressed, because I love the freedom and looseness of these pieces. I mean what is that elephant doing up in the sky? I love the naive approach, it wasn't about a client - just about the art, the way a child would approach a blank canvas. I feel the need to start unthinking again. I would love to hear your comments.
