just a lil' something | sunday

peculiar life | photography collaboration

i was lucky enough in life to meet a new friend, Amanda of Amanda Marie Photography, who is totally awesome! She is a such a wonderful photographer so go check her out!

we are working on a special and whimsical project together that i LOVE so much and am so happy to be a part of, The Peculiar Lives Of Children. 

To sum it up without doing it justice, Amanda gives your child a creative session of adventure based on their own imaginations and playfulness. I then illustrate images into the photos and the end result is a magical storybook of photos and illustrations that is fully devoted to your child and their wonderment.

Here are a few images we've done so far and we have many more in the works!

taking names

working on some custom name prints for the little ones in my life. hand lettering + drawing of simple images and textures. it has been satisfying my instant gratification need along with my love of writing and doodling. and they are just so cute, right!?

 i am currently taking orders for custom name prints - if interested send me an email! they are perfect for new babies, kids and couples!

show time

i have been missing in action for awhile now... but with good reason! i have been prepping for my only holiday show this year, DUCF! it's one of my favorite shows to do + i am super happy to be a part of it again this year!!

small collection

i have been working on some new patterns for a small collection! i am really loving it so far! i ordered a couple of swatches from spoonflower to see it printed on cotton and i can't wait for them to arrive. these are just the first handful of designs so far :

i am aiming to to have it available for fabric, art prints, digital papers and photography templates...speaking of photography templates, that is something i plan on focusing on in the new year. i have made a handful so far and having some of my photographer friends

try them out.
