Currently working on some animal graphics, all inside a circle shape.  It was very clear in my mind how it would all look and I quickly worked on various sketches for different animals.  Super excited about this idea, I finally got to working digitally in Illustrator and realized quickly that I haven’t really figured it all out yet.

Suffice to say this is a work in progress, but wanted to share with everyone.  I’m also wondering if you have ever felt like you had this fantastic idea, or at least a pretty cool one, but when it comes to execution things fall short of your inventive imagination?  Maybe the imagination is just too powerful and you don’t always end up creating exactly what you see in your mind anyway.  Hopefully more experimentation will get me somewhere close to my original intentions or perhaps I will stumble upon something new?  Stay tuned…

Finally, a fresh start for all my ideas – ready to burst forth in a flurry of creative turbulence – in a good way!  Today is my happy blog day for getting this site up and running.  I am excited to start posting my works in progress and share ideas to inspire or at least make you crack a smile.  Or maybe you just want to live vicariously through me on this wondrous journey? Either way, I very much appreciate you visiting and don’t hesitate to subscribe to this blog with the link on the left-hand side.

Download Owl Calendar PDF (216 kb)

As a big thank you to everyone, I would like to start off by sharing an owl calendar I whipped up to get myself organized.  I love printables because you can always make copies if you mess up and it’s such an easy way to get nice stationery to write on.  Woohoo!  My little owl friend is featured in the lower left-hand corner of the calendar to urge you on because you can do it!  He’s also the little muse for this blog, see him perched up in the top header?  Enjoy and stay tuned for more loveliness…
