Merry Christmas!!

Here I am, 10 hours before my flight to Michigan - packing, doing laundry and wrapping my last presents when I realize "I'M OUT OF GIFT TAGS!!!" Usually, this wouldn't be a big deal, but 90% of the boxes I am currently packaging up are the same size/shape and easily mix-up-able.

So I quick made up a sheet of tags (based off my Christmas cards this year) and figured I would throw them up on the blog if anyone else was in the same predicament.

I hope everyone has a warm and wonderful holiday!

A few fish

Throughout college, my goldfish tank provided an endless supply of inspiration for mindless sketching. I loved watching my fat little Oranda Peaches and her Ranchu buddy Max bumble about the tank in search of alge or a lost flake of food. I owe many of my 100-level art class assignments to their antics.

I no longer have the vast fish tank I once had, but I still love to paint fish when I can find them!

I hope everyone is having a nice start to the holiday season! I've got a few cards left to mail, some cookies that need baked and of course a ton of unwrapped presents to attend to - but I'll get there. More coffee!!

A Postcard for a Good Cause

I sent in my watercolor piece for the Fowler Art Collective; Year Two Postcard Exhibit on Friday.

My postcard will be up with others for sale at the event on December 7th - with 25% of the profits generated going to NYFA's emergency relief fund for Hurricane Sandy.

The show looks to be a great event, I just wish I could make it up to New York to see it. If anyone finds themselves in the vicinity, let me know how it was!
