So long ago!

I've been so busy I haven't had time to post anything... but that doesn't mean I haven't been working on illustrations!

I had the pleasure of working with two really great people on these illustrations and I had a lot of fun doing them! I'm not a calligrapher, and in fact I have terrible handwriting, but I like having a handwritten look on banners. I like to say that my bad calligraphy has charm and heart, but it might be just something to make me feel better about my 3rd grade handwriting. Maybe one day I'll take some classes so I can offer more styles and be confident about the writing.


This was a gift to the couple and I had a lot of fun with all the great details that celebrate their unique style and Hawaiian wedding!


Holly and Peter are the most adorable couple and I'm really excited to have been able to contribute this illustration towards their wedding planning!

Congratulations to both couples!

Pre-Bee.

It just so happened that shortly after being contacted by a couple for an illustration commission, the bride to be got the Bee-to-Be email! So this illustration was started for Miss Dachshund before she was announced! I'm so excited to have been able to do this for her!

I love it when brides let me go a little more playful, so it was fun to play on the fact that Mr. D is a foot taller than her! So for once, we wanted to make her taller than him!



This seems to be the favorite style for couples and I have no problem with that. Drawing these little illustrations is a lot of fun, and I love that I get to draw such big heads. I love big heads! Maybe it's because I have a big head...

Ready for Business!

After my long 5-6 year hiatus of not doing illustrations, I'm going back to my roots and buckling down to do it again. It's definitely a scary step to put myself out there again, but it'll be good for me to stop being a 100% number monkey and more like a 30% monkey, 30% artist, and 40% nut job.

I'm offering custom wedding illustrations on etsy! I'm nervous, but really excited. Today is definitely one of those crazy-shaking-psycho-look-on-my-face days. I'm sure everyone at work thinks I'm on something.


Thanks to all the girls at Wedding Bee that are supporting me in my art, during the wedding process, and the inspiration they gave me in being so darn cute I had to draw them!

And thanks to Duet Letter Press for linking to my freshly opened etsy store!
