Had some fun recently designing/illustrating a baby announcement card for friends. The happy parents had a few ideas in mind of course. We finally narrowed it down to this one. The finished piece was printed on 300 gsm archival rag paper with pigment inks, hand trimmed and paired with a chocolate brown envelope.

Shaky Shaky – that's what Zucco does with his butt when he wants to play. I guess it's because he doesn't have much of a tail to wag.

Family
Yes, more baby stuff. This was for another friend's second baby so I did an illustration of the family. I did cheat a little by revamping an older piece. Hehe. So much to do, so little time...

Lately I've been feeling a bit lost out at sea looking for solid ground to land on–anxious about not knowing where I'll be next.
But sometimes, you just have to take a breather, drift along and enjoy the ride.

It seems like ALOT of my friends have been knocked up lately. Was able to spend a little time to work on some kids birthday cards and stuff for baby showers. This one was something I made for a friend's second baby. It seemed appropriate for this week's Illustration Friday topic. Now off to working on some more baby cards.
He's 2 Already?
Created this for a friend's 2 year old son's birthday. It was to go with the train build-a-bloc set we got him. Can't believe how big he's getting. Where does the time go?
Little Bundle
This is definitely a year of babies for me since alot of my friends apparently got busy with making little me's. Will be cranking out a bunch of baby cards for gifts and maybe some baby announcement cards along the way :)

My dog Zucco is a trouble maker. He does a lot of things that can be categorized as "it sounded good at the time" such as jumping off a roof when he was a puppy. He must have thought it was a good idea to clear the protective fence not realizing he was a few stories up from the ground. THANKFULLY he was OK and walked away with a few scrapes and a bruised ego. Yes, he's a bit of a psychopooch.
Anyway, this illo could be another one of those moments. I imagine Zucco thinks it would be fun to enjoy the breeze up where the kites are. But I get the feeling it's a lot more windy and not quite as calm as it seems.

Sometimes I imagine this is what my dog Zucco does when I'm not at home. I did find an empty can of liver treats on the floor once even though I had placed it up on a shelf.

Merry Christmas to Me
A Christmas gift for myself :D
I finally got around to finishing this! The main part of the ring is cast from a shell I had gotten off the beach on a trip to the Dominican Republic 5 years ago (yes, I'm a bit of a procrastinator). The center stones are rough diamonds set with 18kt gold wire. Still playing around with variations on the design but loving it so far. Now I just need to finish up some additional new projects with the other shells I picked up from the same trip.
I think my New Year's resolution for this year is to get focused and have more design projects completed!
