Blogger?! That's so 2008.

Thanks so much for stopping by! The blog is currently on hiatus … but I've left you with some greenery to enjoy. I haven't decided yet if this is the blog's permanent status or if I will pick it up again in the future. I do still track the books I'm reading here and try to keep my show schedule up to date. 

In the meantime, I do post regularly on Instagram and Facebook, so please come visit me there! Or join my mailing list for sporadic updates about upcoming shows, new work, etc. I send it very inconsistently, but rarely more than monthly. See you around the interwebs!

March 2017: Sandhill Cranes

Time to change over those calendars and welcome, March! I saw the first pair of Sandhill Cranes back in our area just a few days ago and have been hearing lots of spring bird twitters in the early morning, though it is way too early for many of them!

Whoa! It's been a while. But today is March 1 and I'm here to remind you to change those calendar pages! I still have a few left in my shop priced to sell at half off!

Flower House Detroit

Words can't describe Flower House Detroit and these photos can't do it justice, but it's a glimpse into the magic of the weekend. Lisa Waud of Pot & Box was the mastermind behind this wonderland of flowers in an abandoned house in Hamtramck. Florists from Michigan and across the country filled the rooms with american-grown fresh flowers and living plants. Now that the weekend is over, the house will be responsibly deconstructed and its materials repurposed. The land will be converted into a flower farm and design center. There's so much more to say, but you can read all that starting here.  

 

2016 Illustrated Calendar

It's here! My new illustrated calendar for 2016 is online and waiting for you. I'm really excited about this one. I probably think—and say—this every year, but I really do feel like I pushed myself design-wise on this one. I hope you enjoy! 

Illustrated Billboard

In case you haven't seen me jumping up and down and waving my arms on social media, here's a look at a billboard I illustrated for local Ann Arbor non-profit Leslie Science & Nature Center. It was installed last week and I am so happy with how it turned out. As some of you may know, I don't often draw people and this was going to include people — larger than life size!

The billboard is on I-94 near Chelsea, bout a mile before the Fletcher Road exit if you are traveling east, into Ann Arbor. It is on the north, or left, side of the highway.

DIY Street Fair

It's time for the DIY Street Fair! After missing last year's show, I'm super excited to jump back into craft shows this season with this awesome weekend of goodness. You know I love seeing the Ferndale community out in its best friendly fashion. This is one of my favorite weekends of the year! I'll have my 2016 calendars available, new prints and more! I'll be in my usual location at booth F44 right behind the WAB. See you there!

Illustrated Wedding Invitations

Last weekend my younger brother got married in Charlotte, North Carolina. I had the pleasure of working with him — and his lovely bride — on invitation materials to suit their charming rustic barn location. So along with a huge congratulations, I thought I'd share a look:
