This is most definitely the coolest project I have ever been asked to collaborate on. In fact, it might be the only collaboration I’ve done… But it doesn’t matter because it’s still the coolest. (Sidenote, I should collaborate more!) A friend of mine from Instagram is making a Harry Potter themed Clue game, and he…
Whenever I hear about people who are struggling, be it financially or physically, I always get this sinking feeling in my gut. I wish there was more I could do to help others, I wish I were a millionaire so I could just give them the money they need. It makes me feel so tiny…
I’ve found myself sort of obsessed with Instagram craft swaps lately. And by obsessed I mean I’ve signed up for about a dozen different ones. I love making things for other people, and I love getting fun handmade things in the mail! So really, there is nothing not to love. Occasionally you do end up…
Alyssa from Small Things Illustration is hosting THE CUTEST CONTEST EVER right now. Basically, you create a doll based on her designs and the winner will get their artwork turned into a custom doll. I absolutely adore Alyssa’s dolls (and everything else she does!) so we definitely had to enter. Plus, I knew the kids…
Last week I broke down and bought a set of liquid watercolors. I’ve been wanting to try liquid watercolors for a while now and I had a good coupon so I bought one of each color. I went with the Artist’s Loft brand from Michaels. I also bought these cute little containers so I could…

Last month I was introduced to the concept of inchies by a really fantastic artist named Alyssa Spencer. (Her Etsy shop is filled with the cutest things. I seriously adore her illustration style!) She was looking for people to swap with, so I started making some. I just packed up four little tiny paintings to…
I’ve pretty much finished up all of the artwork I sold last month. I have a few more people who are holding off on theirs for various reasons, but other than those I’m all finished! I’ve painted over 50 of these Doodle Portraits. CRAZY! I’ll be painting a handful more for Christmas presents, but I…
A few months ago my husband had a dream where he was a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent. He sang a song with a big, buff, shirtless guy with dreadlocks and the lady from Sound of Music. Their amazing act had the whole audience going. And what song did they do? Imagine singing the Spiderman…
Have you ever had an idea in your head that ended up turning out WAY cuter than you had anticipated? I didn’t think I’d have so much fun with these silly Doodle Portrait illustrations. And I certainly never imagined they’d be so well received. I’ve painted 23 so far and I have 24 more to…
