Terrible Yellow Eyes

If you know me, you know I fell in love with 'Where the Wild Things Are'. I thought the movie was amazing and of course the illustrations of Maurice Sendak. So I came across this while going through misc. indie crafting and art blogs...and I was so mad I never saw it before.
Terrible Yellow Eyes
It's a whole blog of art inspired by Where the Wild Things Are. Holy cow. I love it.
This one is now my desktop background:

DINOSAURS!!!

Yes, finally I came to my senses and realized I need dinosaur prints. I've always loved dinosaurs, not to mention Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite movies. I could quote it beginning to end.
Anyways, I have a lot of cutesy girly things but nothing for say, a lil boys room. Or a lil girl that likes dinos (like me).

Here's the first three in what is sure to be a nice little series:Triceratops

Brachiosaurus

Wooly Mammoth

All three are now for sale in the shop.

Re-Branding Continues...

I put this aside for quite a while, but I'm trying to get it done finally. Here's a few variations, my old ideas were too crowded. Any comments would be appreciated. Once I get the card designed I can start redoing everything else.

Horse Lovers and Animal Lovers-Please Help

On Sunday morning, Jan. 24th, an old friend of mine and her fiance had a tragic barn fire while they were at church. As a result, they lost all of their 23 horses and three dogs, not to mention a brand new barn and all their tack. I cannot imagine living such a nightmare, as a past horse owner and a lifetime horse lover.

Because of this terrible event, I am donating a portion of my Etsy sales to their cause to help them recover from such a loss. Purchases are always appricaited, but they are in great need at this time to help someone else.

I am aware that the tragadies in Haiti make something like this seem like nothing, but I have donated to that cause and now really need help in assisting this one which hits so close to home for many.

Here is the full story: http://www.mountvernonnews.com/local/10/01/25/24-horses-perish-in-morrow-county-barn-fire

(This article is incorrect, it was 23 horses, not 24)

These are just a couple of the beauties who didn't make it out. Maggie and Sugar.

Thank you in advance, these animals were their family and their life.

Rainy January

Sorry, since I started working full time my art has suffered. That and planning a wedding... It's stolen all the time I ever had. Just did a couple portraits of an adorable Pug for someone..this is Penny.
Other than that, my creativeness is at a total standstill. Which I'm not happy about. But that's how it goes sometimes...

Over 300 sales!

I am now over 300 in Etsy sales. Hurray!!! Success!! Thank you to all my wonderful customers. :)
Also, I made my annual Cherry Christmas card.

I haven't really had the chance to do any new work because of my job/custom requests/xmas stuff...so hopefully after xmas I will.
My poor lil' truck needs some work done and I'm going to be driving my old oil leakin' machine again for a while. Oh, vehicles..curse you.
