After my second year participating in APE I feel I am settling in to the Art Community of San Francisco. I was lucky enough to have a table right next to my friend Emma SanCartier with OddFauna. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tables and supported us. It was wonderful reconnecting with friendsContinue reading “APE 2013 Recap & Octo-Puss in Boots!”

New Set of Specimens
Well I had a baby 6 weeks ago and in 1 week I’m participating in APE. I couldn’t wait to participate in APE when the year began but, I didn’t quite realize how close it came to my baby’s birth. However, I’m not going to let that stop me from making new work! To celebrateContinue reading “New Set of Specimens”
Good Intentions Fall Through
Well as hopeful as I was to get my blog set up with scheduled posts it just didn’t happen. My pregnant brain did not bring it together for me to make new art that I wanted to post for you. Also the past week has been a lot of scrambling to be prepared for aContinue reading “Good Intentions Fall Through”
Taking Back Ground
I seriously misjudged how I would feel the last month of pregnancy. I only remember working almost 9 hour days the last month of my last pregnancy so, I didn’t see it coming that I would not be able to keep up with my own work this time. However, chasing a kid all day andContinue reading “Taking Back Ground”
At Boston Comic Con this weekend!

Trick Fox
Sometimes a piece can just not come together. This skateboarding fox has been frustrating me since last week when “skateboard” and “fox” came up as twoodle words. I couldn’t get the motion and shape of the fox right. Pages of sketches went by. I tried shifting to other pieces, reading a book, taking breaks. ItContinue reading “Trick Fox”
Moo Cow
My time has still been absorbed by the piece that can not yet be shared. So, here is something a little old, the cow from my son’s word/image game that I made for him. I made this while he and I were doodling at our shared art desk. I reused some paper that had beenContinue reading “Moo Cow”
Opossum wants to play with Tiger
A little risky fellow has tangled himself up on this tiger’s tail. We will have to see if this tiger’s interested expression is based on hunger or playful curiosity. This is the color comp for my twoodle from last week. Ah! I did it again didn’t I? I got behind on posts, this should haveContinue reading “Opossum wants to play with Tiger”
Cowboy on a Parrot
I am so grateful for Alicia starting Twoodle. It has been a wonderful exercise for making new illustrations and finding new members of the community. Thank you for pulling us all together. This is my finished illustration of last week’s twoodle, cowboy and parrot. For my current twoodle go to my tumblr to see myContinue reading “Cowboy on a Parrot”
the Fun Part
“getting there is half the fun; come share it with me” – Kermit As I work my way back into an illustrating routine which, is guaranteed to be interrupted again in just 8 weeks, I have changed up my color comp stage. Instead of using the computer or watercolors, I am working with wet pastels.Continue reading “the Fun Part”
Hiccup
Well, the regular scheduled programing of my blog has fallen to the wayside again. I’m afraid I am going to have to admit defeat of keeping up with it at least until mid June. Work, other responsibilities, and being a mom are all asking for the whole amount of my time right now. As weContinue reading “Hiccup”
Final Page
“Criss Cross Apple Sauce!” A T Rex sitting cross legged. That was a mind twister to draw. Bringing the book to a close I wanted to have a few of the dinos from the book give one last look to the read. I’m now on the fence deciding if I want to get aContinue reading “Final Page”
