It’s been a while since I picked up my camera to take any photos… and I had a weird moment where I completely forgot what I was supposed to do. I knew it was going to be a challenging ses...
Hey, remember when I posted that a jewelry piece I made was going to be in a real-life published book? The lovely Lori, author and coordinator, sent word that she’s started accepting pre-orders...
I’ve been getting a couple of questions about this over the last month, so today I want to talk about the differences between graphic design and web design. The differences First thing t...
You know how people say it’s not the camera, it’s the photographer? Basically that it’s not the materials you use, but the skills you have that makes the art. The same applies for a...
I don’t know how other people see color, but when something of a particular shade catches my eye, I have to stop and look. Like this photo – the warm, pinky reds totally caught my eye and...
A couple of months ago, Danielle LaPorte had a huge pre-launch fiesta going on for her soon-to-be-published hardcover edition of The Fire Starter Sessions. I had bought the digital Spark Kit last sum...
A second post? Yep! I just found out a project I worked on went live this afternoon, and rather than waiting until tomorrow, I’d thought I’d share it today. A couple of weeks ago, the lov...
Yesterday was not a good day, and I was for sure not at my best. Three days of intermittent internet connections were driving me batty. Two phone calls, for a total of two and a half hours, to tech s...
I’m in the middle of updating my Artist’s Guide to Pricing ebook, so I’ve got “value” on the brain. The biggest questions rattling around in my head right now have to do...
A sense of frustration has plagued me all week. The kind of frustration that comes from a lack of progress, things just not going right, too many late nights with very little to show for it, underest...
I’m so ridiculously proud of this photo. Even though it doesn’t necessary look that impressive, I look at it and I smile. Why? Because it’s the first time I mastered a low-light pho...
If you’re a paper lover, there’s new blog called Fresh Rag you should check out. Have you heard of it? Fresh Rag is the brainchild of my art buddy Dave Conrey. If the name sounds familiar...
I completely underestimated how difficult it is to take sharp, in-focus photos from a moving car until I tried it. Even when the driver obliges by slowing down to around 20 mph, I’ve discovered...
One of my new favorite shops is Yellow Heart Art, run by the super adorable Leonora, and I had to share it today. Leonora’s a graphic designer based in New York, and what I love about her shop ...
You know that niggling feeling that you forgot to do something, but can’t remember exactly what that something is? Yeah, that was me this morning when I forgot to publish this post. In my head,...
If you ever get a chance to go to the Library of Congress, go. Seriously, the ceiling alone is worth an in-person look. The architecture, the sculptures, the murals, and a recreation of Thomas Jeffer...
Confession: I spent an embarrassing amount of time editing these photos yesterday, mostly because I couldn’t decide what kind of look I wanted. Maybe a little faded, maybe a little pink, maybe ...
Remember my 12 Days of Digital Freebies I did last Christmas? Remember this social media icon set I made? It’s been a popular download, which awesome, but I got a request for a social media set...
A few months ago, my friend Cindy emailed me with a question – could I help her and the lovely Jeanette update their artBLISS website? If you’re not familiar with artBLISS, it’s a w...
This trip to D.C., we made it a point of heading up to King Street in Old Town Alexandria, which was awesome and packed full of small boutique shops and restaurants and art galleries. It was definite...
I tweeted yesterday that that first night spent back home in your own bed is awesome, and it is. I love traveling, I love spending time with friends, but I love coming home, too. I especially love co...
By the time you read this, I’ll be on a plane heading to the East Coast for a vacation with the girls! I’m so excited, because this is the first vacation absolutely, positively, strictly ...
Today’s reader spotlight is of one of the sweetest ladies I know – Cari of Crochet Hooked. Cari’s a jewelry designer who creates crochet braided bracelets called Braidlets with pear...
Today’s post is from the lovely Libby, of Current Observations and Crimson Pear. Libby was kind enough to stop by to share her love for green, and I appreciate her for taking the time! I am so ...
I’m really into surrounding myself with positive messages, for the simple reason that sometimes, I find it hard to be positive myself. Especially when I’ve destroyed yet another hard driv...
Today’s reader spotlight is with Shelly of MiShelDesigns. Shelly and I “met” through blogging, and it’s always a delight to see her sweet comments here. She’s as nuts fo...
Last week, I shared a favorite blog of mine. I’ve got another one for you today, one that challenges me, makes me think, and inspires me all at once: Just Be Enough. The idea behind JBE is simp...
…because if I don’t, I’m liable to grab my hammer and beat my laptop into tiny pieces. So, I’m going to beg for a little forgiveness today for not having a color palette done ...
I’m having some computer trouble, so I’m feeling really lucky that I had a guest post lined up for you today! Like I mentioned last week, I asked a few friends what colors were inspiring ...
I’m on a textured-look, subdued color kick right now, and the Vigilism print shop of Lekan Jeyifous is hitting all the high notes for me. Lekan’s background in architecture is absolutely ...
