Front Street

 

A new print I finished up today. It's watercolor, pencil, collage and a bit of digital tweaking.

Asides:

* We've got loads and loads of new pages over on the ongoing "Alfred" comic, in case you missed it this past spring.

* I'm enjoying obsessed with this book about artist Eric Ravilious.

South by Southwest

 

I'd painted up some odds and ends for a new pattern, then got a bee in my bonnet to turn it into a plate design. I was in Texas last weekend and my head is full of new palettes, places and plants. Case in point, above. See also, below.
 

Round and Round

 

I turned this...

 

...into this.

I've almost finished sewing up some infinity scarves and should have them in the shop by end of this week. They're made of a rather delicious organic cotton knit and truth be told, I am having an awfully hard time not keeping one for myself. The muggy temperatures, however, are dissuading me from any such theft (rest assured).

Summer Sketched


This and that in my sketchbook. It's been awhile since I've drawn purely for fun, so yesterday called for coffee out and some time to doodle. I have all sorts of ideas I want to tackle in the next few weeks, now that my deadlines have eased up. Topping that list, paradoxically, is taking some time to recharge my batteries, in the interest of introspection and experimentation. And in keeping with that, I'm hoping to update this space more frequently while the time allows. Huzzah for Summer!

And speaking of Summer, if you'd like a way to keep track of your warm weather reads, I made this handy printable book list last year.
