Digital Collage: A Style Experiment

This week I've been experimenting with a new digital collage style. Below is a sampling of the results, incorporating collage, line and digital color. What do you think? I'd love to hear thoughts from the peanut gallery!

Cake Love

I absolutely love cake and I absolutely love designing fabric! So this week I brought my passions together to create my Cake Love fabric design. If you adore it too, please consider voting for my design in Spoonflower's Paper Collage Cakes Fabric Contest. Have a happy Thursday and let yourself eat cake today (you'll be glad you did!)!

Repeat: I love cake!

Illustrator Mama

I'm happy to share an article I recently wrote for the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators-Los Angeles's newsletter, KiteTales. The article, titled Illustrator Mamas & Papas: A Survival Guide, features my top five, most important tips for balancing life as a working illustrator with parenthood.

Look for it on pages 27-28. Hope ya'll enjoy it!
