Thirty Fathoms Down

Things I am painting/stitching lately. I'm also dusting things off and getting ready to pop a few new prints up on Etsy. That should be all good to go the day after Thanksgiving, cross my heart.
What else, what else?
*Some real nice words about OMG: The Spell Bind over on the Disney Nerds blog.
*I saw Murder on the Homefront the other night and it ain't half bad. Granted the plot's a little thin, but oh goodness, the costumes. Seriously. Hats, wraps, teetering heels, even down to the acid yellow knit vest Lennox Collins sports, it's all a visual treat.
*I'm on pie duty again this year, which begs the very important question: what's your go to Thanksgiving dessert?
Happy weekends!
The Granite State

Playing around with type and paint today. New Hampshire, you sure know how to pick a state motto.
The Forest Clearing

A little detail of a print I'm working on at the moment. There's watercolor there, colored pencils, bits of washi tape and a smattering of digital color tweaking. To quote Gerard Manley Hopkins, "Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet."
The Mysterious Identity of the Masked Mademoiselle

A little something for All Hallows' Eve. Hope your plans tonight involve something seasonally apropos. I caught a showing of Nosferatu the other night (CREEPY) and I'm currently imbibing pumpkin flavored coffee (DELICIOUS), so it's safe to say I'm feeling sufficiently October 31'ish at the moment.
Happy Halloween!
Two Thousand and Fifteen

Something I drew for this week's Spoonflower challenge to design a 2015 tea towel calendar. I'm planning to print up a few of these and will have them in the shop right after Thanksgiving.
The Big Apple




Last week I was in New York for a whirlwind 48 hour visit with my sister. I've never been before and whoa Nelly, what a city.
Highlights?
*Meeting the nice folks at Disney Publishing, which was a real treat.
*Breakfast in SoHo at Sant Ambroeus.
*Visiting the top of the Empire State building.
*Seeing Matilda.
*Not doing a face plant on the subway. High five, self.
