Happy Reading!

Here is a bookplate I designed over the summer that was given as a free gift for pre ordering the girls drawin girls vol IV book. There were lots of beautiful bookplates designed, and I wonder who got mine? Anyway, I liked the illustration so much I wanted to share it on my blog. I am also selling it on my etsy as a 4x6 print or bookplate. Check it out and happy reading!

Great Big Book of Fashion Illustration

Hello all!
Despite a personally trying and tumultuous couple of weeks, I am back with some great news on the art front! 4 of my illustrations are going to be featured in this book and I am very excited. It's a great fashion illustration source book with 416 pages of full color illustrations from illustrators all over the world and I am honored to be included. I was first contacted by the publisher in April 2010 and I remember thinking how far away Fall 2011 was but now it is finally here! So check it out! its is available on amazon.com but the official release date is October 4 in the US.

wonder woman!

I can't believe summer is almost over! This one went by really quick! I have had a pretty productive summer art wise, and I am taking an interest in doing a bit more with jewelry (dabbled a little bit with some rings and brooches), but more on that to come. I have decided to keep going with my super heroes and villains pin ups, and this time around, everyones favorite, Wonder Woman! I like the way she came out! For this one, I felt there was a lot going on already so I left out the words.

What do you think?

urban scarlet

Wow August already? time goes so fast! anyway check out this awesome blog I just discovered, Urban Scarlet! Its not only a beautifully designed blog with lots of great content, there is an awesome little store too! I picked up some heart stickers and red and white paper straws (always wanted them, although I am not sure what to do with them yet) so check out the blog and the store. I loved the site so much I decided to become a sponsor!
In art news, I am almost done with my retro cocktail art and recipe book, and still working on artwork and adding new work and designs my etsy shop!

Super Villain Pin Ups continued!

I got a suggestion from a lovely person on etsy to do a catwoman pin up, and I am so glad she suggested it. I love the way she turned out and I loved the challenge. She's definitely more saucy then my usual girls. I am really enjoying reinterpreting these characters in my own style and having fun with the costumes.

Drinks anyone?

I wanted to share a sneak peek at a new project I am working on that I am very excited about! Don't want to give away too much but it involves retro cocktails and lovely pin up girls. Here is a little preview :)
I am also still working on more of my superhero pin up girls so stay tuned!

Super Villain Pin Ups

Greetings!
Ever since returning from Philadelphia comic con a few weeks ago, I have been super inspired. Saw a lot of great artists and bought some fabulous art and a got a very cool commission done by the Fraim Brothers!
I have tried my hand at comic book characters before, but this time I wanted to do a series. I was originally going to do 5 but as of now I only have 3 done that I absolutely love and they all happen to be female villains of DC comics. I would like to continue and finish up the series, but I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it. I am also working on my fruit girl series and of course my snapfish cards! So here is what I have so far for my super villain pin ups fan art.


And a Happy July 4th to everyone!
