sorry to "dailies and dash" on you, but since i spent my saturday auditioning the 5th graders who hope to attend sudbrook in the fall, my weekend was teeny-tiny, and i've got some loose ends to wrap up before monday happens. 

end of 2011 dailies mega-post!

hi friends, greetings from 2012! here are the final dailies from 2011, marking a full year of daily hand-letters. let's take a look:

 (wednesday, december 21st)

 (thursday, december 22nd)

 (friday, december 30th)

(saturday, december 31st)

looking back, 2011 has been a pretty big year, and i am hopeful for an even better 2012. 

some goals for 2012:

- start (and then finish!) one book for pleasure each month

- continue "sacred saturdays" and save 1 day/week with no work

- learn to cook more things, and cook them 2x a week

- drink more water

- maintain better contact with people i know and like that are far away (postcard project? weekend getaways? all of the above?)

there are a few more but i don't want to bore you with the nitty grittys. i kind of love making goals (probably because i also love making lists). have a great week, and a great 2012, everybody!

here are the dailies after an exhausting, but very successful weekend at artmarket! turns out my "sassy little love notes" were a lot more popular than i imagined they would be, so that was an pleasant surprise. let's get on with it (so i can get on to bed):

 (sunday, december 4th)

  (monday, december 5th)

  (tuesday, december 6th)

  (wednesday, december 7th)

  (thursday, december 8th)

  (friday, december 9th)

thanks to everyone who came out to see me and my wares at artmarket! though it is tiring, i really like seeing everyone's reactions and responses to my work. if you weren't able to make it, or something sold out before you were able to snatch it up, i am restocking my etsy shop with the artmarket leftovers and some other fun things, so be sure to check it out at the shop link on the top right. have a great week, everybody!

dailies 11/27-12/3 + artmarket 2011!

here are the dailies, on the tail end of a busy, busy weekend! i have been running around getting everything together for artmarket, which starts on wednesday! more on that later, let's get to the dailies:

(sunday, november 27th)

 (monday, november 28th)

(tuesday, november 29th)

 (wednesday, november 30th)

 (thursday, december 1st)

 (friday, december 2nd)

(saturday, december 3rd)

now the really exciting part: a sneak peek at all the goods i've been prepping, printing, trimming, mounting, wrapping, packaging, tagging, and hopefully selling this week at mica's annual artmarket!

in addition to some of my favorite old-school illustrations (both as ready-to-frame prints and mounted on wooden cradles for display on bookshelves, windowsills, or easily hung on a wall), this year i am rolling out two hand-lettered posters featuring the best of the dailies 2011 (in a "you can do it!" theme and an "wow i love you" theme), thank you notes (in full color!), and two sets of love notes: a sweet variety full of adorably hand-lettered affectionate sayings, and a sassy variety full of the same affection, plus expletives.

be sure to stop by the art education table (on the second floor of mica's brown center) wednesday-saturday to see my work. if you stop by thursday evening or saturday, you'll even see me! if you can't make it, but are interested in something you see here, please let me know! have a great week, everybody.

the dailies 11/20-11/26 in their new home!

hi friends! i'm so glad you found your way here. here are the inaugural dailies here in their new home. while you're here, don't forget to check out the galleries above for other examples of my work. if you have any feedback for me about the design, layout, or functionality of the new site, please let me know! it is (very very) new, so there may still be some tidying up left to do.

well, let's get on with the show!

 (sunday, november 20th)

 (monday, november 21st)

 (tuesday, november 22nd)

 (wednesday, november 23rd)

 (thursday, november 24th)

 (friday, november 25th)

(saturday, november 26th)

coming soon will be new business cards and tons of updates for artmarket (i am a little behind on that, oh no!!) i had a really fantastic holiday and even a mini-vacation to new york (full of singing in the car at the top of my lungs and friendly reunions and nyc christmas shopping) but now i've gotta get back to work! have a great week, everybody.
