Press: Instagram

I've been so busy with life and art that I forgot to mention a little thing that happened right before I went on vacation to Italy...

The official STARBUCKS Instagram regrammed a photo of one of my doodle Starbucks cups!!!!



It was great to read all the nice things people said about it, and it was hilarious to read what the "haters" had to say. It was an amazing day, and now, (almost) 6,000 Instagram followers later the support is still so heart warming :)

Article: Doodling for a Higher Purpose


 (Click the photo to jump to the video from CBS Sunday Morning)
|The doodle: Even its very name makes it sound frivolous and pointless. But our scribbles and scrawls - sometimes recognizable, sometimes not - may actually have a point. Lee Cowan reports.

Friday Five #25

This week black and white line designs inspired me:

1. These beautiful tiles make different patterns when they are alone, and when they are put together (Pinterest)

 2. Great line placement, it is minimal but you still know what it is (Pinterest)

3. I just love circle/mandala doodles (Pinterest)

 4. There is a strong likely hood that I will be making and selling these (Pinterest)

5. I need to figure out how to get my doodles onto fabric like this (Pinterest)

Friday Five #24

Another week, another set of images that inspired me this week, and will feed my designs this weekend:

1. Not this mandela specifically... but mandelas in general caught my eye. (Pinterest)

 2. I have patience... but not like this. I am impressed. (Pinterest)

3. I love the flow of the beads on this dress (Pinterest)

4. I love this abstract take on portraits (Pinterest)

5. I adore these designs. I want them all right now. (Pinterest)

Friday Five #23

This used to be called Inspiration #--, but let's be real, 'Friday Five' sounds better. Well... in all honesty, I borrowed the name from Design-Milk.

1. I just LOVE this (Pinterest)

 2. Really interesting (Pinterest)

3. This design would be really interesting as a mirror image print (Pinterest)

4. Let's wallpaper my entire house with this exact wallpaper pattern and call it a day. LOVE. (Pinterest)

 5. I generally don't like stained glass... but there is something about this I enjoy (Pinterest)

I'm Back (Again)

I feel like I post one of these every few months! It's hard being an artist, but not doing your art as your "day job". I feel like I am constantly trying to find a balance between: work, my art, my husband, cleaning, cooking, exercising and relaxing. One area always gets more attention than the others. Since my blog is a minor part of my art, it falls even further to the wayside sometimes. 

The past few months I spend way too much time on my art, I sacrificed a lot. But even then I didn't even get to blog. So I will try and catch you up the next week or so :) Stay tuned.
