Apron Design

Truffle Hog.

I submitted this Apron design idea to Anthropologie- Urban Outtfitters inc.
The Idea Theme is "Pigs and truffles" because pigs are very " Kitchen" and Truffles are gourmet.
Below are a few other designs I came up with.

Anthropologie spoons display

Portraits on spoons I did a few months ago, just decided to make a post about it. I did portraits of Brinton lake Anthro employees who I work with. These have been on display in the store. Some customers have even asked to buy them . Hehe.

towns and weird places that we all really like to go!"-TDAT

This was fun. Painted in gouache and drawn with pen with digital color added. My favs are the Philly Phanatic and the Pigeon in the tri-corner hat!

Maple & Charlie






My painting is a portrait of two dogs, Maple and Charlie on an old bronze double bicycle. I did this painting for Emily, who I work with. She is the Visual Manager at Anthropologie, Brinton Lake. I wanted to use something unique to Brinton Lake's Anthro in Emily's painting. Since she is our visual manager I choose the old double bicycle, which is a visual prop sometimes used at our store. In the photo its sitting in the hallway in the back of the store... It doesn't look too glamorous here, but its actually a really neat old bike, especially when its on display. Maple (brown/girl )and Charlie (gray/boy) are Emily's two small dogs. They are so cute in this photo. In my painting they are on a spring outing to a picnic with bread, wine and glasses. Maples bow matches the cloth covering the picnic basket. The seats on the bike have the same white covers with red stitching ( a bit hard to see in the photo). The handle bars are yellow and are in two different styles. This painting was done in gouache and acrylic paint on watercolor paper. 10x14in.

Bunnies and chicks




I used these as easter cards this year : )

Cupcake Logo

I was commissioned to come up with a logo for a starting cupcake company called "Ever So Sweet". I painted this happy little cupcake with heart on top, then added digital color. The font was hand drawn. I think its simple but sweet. Smile.
