Artist: Jamie Shelman

Jamie Shelman featured my Kitties a little while ago on her super cute blog, Small Expectations. You can check out the post here. I have completely fallen in love with Jamie's little kitty illustrations. They are sooooo darling! Original drawings and greeting cards are available in her etsy store. Cuteness galore!

New Kitties, sketchbooks and a cross stitch pattern

Hi all. I have some new Kitties to share. They'll go up in the store this week along with a couple of new Kitty sketchbooks. I can't wait to make some more! I especially like the little Siamese kitty, I'll definitely be making more of those. Also, remember the cross stitch that I did on my bag a while back? I finally made it into a pattern. Yay, that's something that I've been meaning to do forever and now I can cross it off my list. It's up in my etsy store too. Lastly, a lot of you may have discovered this program already, but I used it for the first time yesterday and I just love it. It's called Poladroid and it can make any of your digital photos look like polaroids. So fun! The free download can be found here. I made one of my Kitty, Sammy. He was laying on his back looking all cute. Marew!

Artist: Joanne of JoleeCo

These are the cutest little drawings and illustrations. They are by Joanne of JoleeCo. I love all the color specks in the elephant painting, and the animal ink drawings... ADORABLE! See more on her flickr and blog.

Artist: Susan Schwake

I love these paintings by Susan Schwake of art esprit. I think the Rabbit Run one is my favorite because it's so bright and I like birds and bunnies. But I'm definitely falling for the figures painted on the music sheets too. These are all original small works that she sells in her Etsy store. Also see tons more on her website here, and take a look at her blog here.

Artist: Effunia

Aren't these little Mushrooms just adorable! They are made by Eva of Effunia. Those little rocker mushrooms are pretty dang cute if you ask me. Find more on her flickr and blog. Purchase available ones in her etsy store.

Artist: Dallas Clayton

I'm super excited about this new book by artist and writer Dallas Clayton. It's called "An Awesome Book" and that's exactly what it is. The illustrations are done in my favorite "naive" style with lots of pattern-like spreads, and it is about dreaming big and not forgetting to keep dreaming big. Love it! To see the rest of the illustrations click here. You can purchase it here and see Dallas's website here.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a great time. I was in Wisconsin for the new year and it was icy icy icy. These are pics that my husband took. Now I'm home and excited to get posting here again. Woo hoo! If you have any ideas of fun things that I should post here this year let me know. See you tomorrow!
