CREATIVE Nothing much to report on the creative front this week. When it comes to artwork, I have a bunch of lineart and blank canvases sitting around. I definitely have visions for all of it, I...
Alright, I’m going to start by giving credit where credit is due. The title of this post was stolen from my friend’s Facebook status about the night a group of us went to see Mary Poppins at the...
This space will be changing. I don’t like the way it is now. It’s not authentic.
A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting the Chihuly exhibit at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. I honestly knew very little about the artist going into the exhibition but… can I just...
I’ve finally had a chance to gather some high-quality scans of my work and set up a… *drumroll please*… PRINT SHOP! If you’re interested in my work or know someone who might be, I’d love it if you...
This post was inspired by the Year-in-Review guidelines at The Art of Non-Conformity blog. For what it’s worth, I find that the months of October and November really feel like the start of the new...
The dreaded “unfriending” rarely means hate and usually has very little to do with the other person. Ah, social media. Don’t you love it? We’re all so utterly connected all the time! We are so...
I’m kind of in love with this new nail polish I bought. It’s so sparkly, so festive, and really fitting my mood this holiday season! It’s really the first holiday in years I’m really in the spirit…...
Responsive Design. Love it or Hate it, it’s the way of the future. Though, honestly, why would you hate it? It’s pretty amazing if you think about it. Sure, it requires more minimal approaches to...
So as usual, I’ve been keeping myself busy with projects. Hurrah for projects! Today I’m sharing glimpses at two that fall in the “art/illustration” category. The first is a character design...
A Sunday Morning snapshot from my corner of the block A few weeks ago, I drove across the state to pick up my little brother from college for Thanksgiving. Now, me driving across the state isn’t...
I always wonder how people write new and inspiring content for their blogs every day. How-tos, recipes, house tours… the list goes on. I mean, I like to write as much as the next nerdy girl, but...
Things I’m Thankful For: Living in the heart of the city for the past year • Finding a type of red wine I actually like (Pinot grigio and riesling are my usual standbys) • Lack of fear • delicious...
Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite singers– Alison Sudol of A Fine Frenzy– at The Paramount Theatre in Charlottesville, VA. It was a bit of a treat-yourself night since...
If there’s one thing to be said about Richmond, it’s that on any given holiday there’s bound to be a handful of cool things going on. For Halloween, I know people who went to a Zombie Walk in...
Hi guys! Long time no post! I just wanted to share my newest watercolor painting. It’s still drying in the photo above, but until I have access to a decent scanner it will suffice. I’m calling the...
Not much is going on here, just work and diligently working on a digital painting. (Hopefully it’ll be done in a couple more sessions, hurrah!) For now, here’s a video from the other side of town…...
I turned 26 last Friday and was kind of overwhelmed by the outpouring of love I received. I’m so happy to have accumulated such a wonderful array of people in my life over the past year. I’m pretty...
A few weeks ago, I was given a task I’d hoped never to see again after college. What horrible thing could I be procrastinating? The dreaded Artist Statement, of course! I knew there was absolutely...
You don’t have to be everything to everyone at every moment. A simple enough statement, but one that I’m only now really understanding. Even if you have well-honed skills in a number of areas,...
A couple work-in-progress detail shots from a digital painting I’m hoping to finish up this weekend. These are the preliminary sketch and then after I laid down all the flat colors. ♥ ♥ ♥!!
I saw a scattering of leaves on the ground at the office today. Welcome Fall. Not much else to tell. Came down with another illness of doom… for someone who rarely gets sick, when I do it always...
I recently stumbled upon this blog post which asks the simple question “What are you bored of?”. Since it’s the beginning of September and Fall usually tends to be my most productive season, I...
Honestly? I absolutely forgot how much I adore this play. I discovered it back in 2007 when I was learning German and just fell in love with it. It tells the story of Kaiserin Elisabeth of Austria...
I’ve been in a weird place the past couple weeks. It started with a flare up of an old knee injury that put me out of commission physically… and we all know when we’re physically not up to snuff,...
Another illustration I finished on Sunday. This one is called “Falling” and it’s also drawn in colored pencils with gouache for the background. I hope you like it!♥ ♥ ♥!
Photograph/Print from the etsy shop C is for ColorI have to admit, I’m struggling a bit to think of amazing things from last week. They’re there, but it was one of those weeks where everything was...
A new piece of illustration work, this one is called “Spring”. I think I’m dreaming of cooler weather and light color palettes. Anyways, she’s drawn with prismacolor pencils on 9×14 Bristol board....
The Ocean– I grew up near the Jersey shore (and no, it’s not like what you see on tv) so the Ocean holds a very special place in my heart. All it takes is the first breaths of salt air and it feels...
I absolutely love this illustration and the accompanying quote. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do, even if it’s just an hour west to the mountains or a couple hours east to the beach for...
