Nettle's Tale Fall Apparel

A few months ago, I drew a couple illustrations for some fall apparel items for Nettle's Tale Swimwear.  I did a decorative elk, done two ways for a crew neck sweater, and an ombre tank top, and some playful Orca whales for a baseball tee.  I had tons of fun working on these and its even cooler to see them on fabric! Big thanks to creator of Nettle's Tale, Julia Church for the gig :)

European Adventuring

I'm back!  For those of you who don't follow me on Instagram or the Facebooks, and wondered about my mysterious disappearance, let me fill you in.  I spent the last 10 weeks living my dream of adventuring through Europe!  My best friend and I hit up five countries, and not gonna lie, I spent most of my money on food and I spent a fair amount of my time napping, but it was fantastic.  Europe was overflowing with an incredible amount of beauty, texture, and colour.  Safe to say, there was plenty of inspiration for me :)  I'm looking forward to some awesome projects this fall!  Here are some photo highlights of our trip:

 

That last picture doesn't lie.  I went to Downton Abbey. 

Baby Room Animals

Recently I did a couple animals for a baby room, super fun and cute! They wanted a Raccoon, Squirrel, Lhama, and their Dog, with a bit of nature :)  So here is what i came up with:

Élémentaire Zine Interview: Dream Issue

Super stoked to be featured in Élémentaire Zine's Dreams Issue!  It's very convenient that I spend the fall working on illustrations with the theme of escaping the world through dreaming; as a result, my work fits in perfectly! Have a flip through the pages, there are some amazing artists being featured!   Big thanks to Mark Kiszely who hooked me up with this opportunity!
