On my Studio desk this week.

Sometimes, I am amazed by the lack of time I have when creating. This summer I challenged myself.  Posted many doodle drawings on recycled cardboard / re-purposed product packaging on my Instagram account. I would start my day with a cup of coffee and my trusty Sharpies and paints! And, voila Magic happens! What ever it takes, Just do it!
Took some of my favorite images from this summer and created a NEW collection of 1" Pin Badges and Magnets. I will List this collection soon to my Etsy shop. What types of challenges do you give yourself?

Sneek peek of what I am working on...

I spot one of my product designs in the latest issue of UPPERCASE 25

Nothing like opening up one of my favorite periodicals 

and seeing one of my Product Designs featured!

This is the cover to the latest UPPERCASE 25 Magazine.

The Printmaking edition.

There it is on page 11.  My Print inspired photo-frame!

Made with Color Bars cut from the Ends of a Print Run.

I decoupaged these strips onto a Frame and sealed 

with Hard coat Mod Podge. 

What a great way to re-purpose those bright strips of paper

 that would have ended up in the landfill.

These bright strips of color together remind me of Quilts!

 

A limited edition is available at my Etsy Shop.

Thanks UPPERCASE.

Bearded Macho Men Doodle Magnets

Doodling is something I do,  just about everyday! 

I start my day with a black Sharpie, Cardboard and Coffee.

Then I scan them and re-work them in Photoshop.

Make some high quality prints... and I am ready to Mod Podge!

I love making magnets. Especially out of re-purposed wood, like discarded wine crates.
• I decoupage my illustration(s) onto the wood with Mod Podge.
• Added some sparkle MP to the hearts.
• Seal with Many layers of UV High Gloss Varnish!

These magnets are super cute and High quality!
Available in my Etsy shop.
