Madison Park Card Samples

I received my cards today from Madison Park  - it was like opening a box of candy, they are so colorful  and yummy.

Here are some photos -
There is lots of sparkle, click on photos to see larger.


The envelopes are such fun colors.

What I Have Been Working On

I took a few days off last week. Birthdays are a great excuse not to work and sneak in a well needed break.

When I got back to the drawing board I entered the new TDAC contest from Kraft Foods - here is my entry:


I also just wrapped up a huge job for Dixie cups -  a mix and match game based set of kids cups. I can't wait to see the finished product. I will share more when it is closer to being sold.

Working on a bunch of new prints and some new greeting cards and a book dummy.  Sometimes I wish I was an octopus, I need a few more hands.

Oakland's Children's Hospital

This sure warmed my heart today - I received a photo of one of my illustrations hanging in the Oakland Children's Hospital. I hope it serves as a momentary distraction for a sick child and/or a worried parent.
