Feltie Monsters

This next weekend, I'm participating in the art show at Orycon, our local science fiction/fantasy convention. I'll have a table and a vertical panel. Some of the pieces for the panel, I've shared here. Now I'm working on items for the table. Hence, feltie monsters! So cute and so much fun.

My New Business Cards

Designers frequently have a hard time designing their own identity, and I'm no exception. But with my recent portfolio update, I fell in love with a new logo for myself and I finally got around to designing my new business cards:

I am purely delighted with how these came out. I was going for something clean and beautiful, with a sense of personality and charm as well. The handwritten typeface is exactly what I wanted as well. Generally, I'm very conservative with my typeface choices, but sometimes something expressive like this is just what's called for.

Monster Monster Magnets on Etsy

I finally got around to putting up Monster Monsters on Etsy! The small square magnets are sold in sets of four, the large round magnets are sold individually. I know it's way early to think about the holidays, but these would make for great stocking stuffers. And all of my magnets are hand-drawn, hand-colored, and unique.

Let Them Listen to Some Other Band

I can't imagine why Marie Antoinette is so often in my mind these days. *wink* I love that her 'do is adorned by an owl.

Inspired in part by the confluence of re-reading the archives of Questionable Content and Noelle's very awesome Broship of the Rings - hipster hobbits! I keep wondering what I can turn into hipsters...cavemen? Swordfish? Grizzled 1800s prospectors?

Fall Priorities, Illuminated

I've been playing with sharpies (the more ad hoc the tools and material, the easier it is to get my creativity flowing sometimes) lately and this came out while I was thinking about what I wanted to get done in the upcoming season and what was most important for my health and happiness. All of this feel really right.

Also...one hundred posts! Here's to the next hundred.
