Halfpence Design Concepting…

I’ve been really wanting to work on some new concepts so I can add to the assortment on in my shop. So, I knocked out a sketch really quickly…it’s a microscope crush! I’m thinking kind of a Wall-E...

Christmas in Mexico

Checking In

Well hellooooooo strangers :-) Life has been beyond insane for the past few weeks, whew! Work is intense but I still love it. I’ve been doing considerably more art directing than I was...
