My recipe illustration for They Draw and Cook accepted today. I photographed the process of making the conserve with my iPhone and the Hipstamatic app. Thanks Salli and Nate!
Ambitious Projects
I enjoyed the process of drawing and designing these cards. The printing process, less enjoyable for the challenges. It’s a 3-color project on a Kelsey. The added dimension was the amount of passes to print the art. The chase is small so 3 passes of color times many turns and orientations of the paper equalled the biggest small job. I learned my lesson.

Late in the evening I grabbed a pointed pen and drew a “crate” of oranges and lemons. After a little computer magic…I sent the file to Spoonflower who printed my pattern on organic cotton sateen. My mom sewed pillows. The pattern and the pillow are available. Let’s talk.

Working with a monoweight pen and my computer I created this composition. Originally it is a bunch of individual line drawings of apples and pears from my sketchbook. If you like what you see please don’t hesitate to contact me for the full pattern. Let’s talk.
