Minted Submission

 

Sigh. I wish I had more time for Minted!  The newest art challenge is so exciting, but all the pieces I would want to do would take so much time and I'm slammed with work right now.  At least I had some time yesterday to contribute the above image.  I created it in tribute to my darling parakeet teddy who passed away - it's just not home without teddy!

365 Pillows | Whirl

Over at LeslieHamer.com I've been quietly conducting a daily project called 365 Pillows.  I've been designing a pattern in repeat (or two) each day and showcasing them on throw pillows. I'll be sharing some of them here along the way - to see them all or commission a repeat pattern or placement print from me visit LeslieHamer.com!

 

 

 

 

Paper Source Halloween Kits

It's a little known fact that I do all of the eblasts for Paper Source.  Some are more exciting than others, but I thought I would share this one because those little mustache ghosts with the conductor hats on just kill me every time.  I'm getting a little more excited for Halloween this year because for the first time I have a home instead of an apartment and will have trick-or-treaters!   I can't wait.

2012 Paper Source Letterpress Calendar

It's here! It's here!  The 2012 Letterpress calendar I designed for Paper Source is now up online and available for purchase.  Printed on a thick textured stock with a very satisfying deep letterpress impression, each month is two colors and takes a different theme.  

We took the calendar in a new direction this year, moving the month and days to the bottom so that when each month is over you can cut off the calendar and have a 4-bar size flat card to send to a friend as a postcard.  Pretty snazzy if I do say so myself!  What's my favorite month?  Definitely July.  Drawing all those tentacles and suckers was the most fun I've had in Illustrator all year.

Bike Glasses on Real Simple.com

It was a thrill when my co-worker Emily alerted me to a Real Simple feature of some juice glasses I designed.  The glasses show off 3 bike illustrations I did for Paper Source to complement some existing artwork. 

Not to toot my own horn, but that banana seat bike is stylin'!  I'd draw it right into existence if I could.  And with that, I have to admit it's totally possible that I've been watching waaaaay to much Dr. Who.  Curses on you netflix!

Christmas in May

I had always wondered how many christmas photo cards I could create in a weekend.  The answer is a LOT. Now all I have to do is pack up all my belongings and move my small family into our new home. . . one day is enough to do all that stuff right?
