ROBOTS for sale
January 24th, 2012

I mentioned in a earlier post that the Woog is going on her first mission trip to Alaska. I am so proud of her bravery and heart to go. She’s been raising money for the trip which is $1250 (big shout out to all her friends & family who’ve donated), she only has $250 more to go! So, to help her out I’ve made some original Junk A Doodles art to help her reach her goal. She helped pick out all the found objects and I put them together. Five are on sale now and five more will be added this week. All 10 are for sale now until Tuesday the 31st and then they are gone forever! They are only $20 (not bad for an original piece of art!) and shipping is only $0.20 to cover Etsy’s listing fee and I’m donating the rest of the shipping costs.

Go check out the shop for a look at them all. Here’s my favorite, little ERNIE:

If art isn’t your thing and you want to give a $1 or $2 to the Woog, she’d really appreciate it. You can donate any amount here:

Robots
January 23rd, 2012

I have robots on my mind this week that I hope (fingers crossed) I’ll get to show tomorrow so I thought I’d show you what I found looking through the new Creative Teaching Press catalog. I did this bulletin board set for them last year and I loved every minute of it!

I love making Junk A Doodles robots and this is the robot that started my junk style.

Hopefully more on robots tomorrow!!

1st Birthday Party
January 17th, 2012

We celebrated Ocee’s 1st Birthday over the weekend and thought I’d share some pictures.

We had a dog themed party (he LOVES dogs) and this was his invite:

“Pup cakes” decorated with a few different dogs I illustrated:

The spread. All dog themed food lie puppy chow, bagel dogs, corn dogs, etc:

And then the digging in began. He didn’t get as messy as the Woog did on her 1st:




HAPPY BIRTHDAY OCEE!

Alaska
January 12th, 2012

I don’t do much design and layout work anymore since illustration took over but I occasionally take some on and this time it was for one of my favorite clients (my church). There’s a mission trip to Alaska coming up and I designed a buff for a ministry there. Totally different illustration style, but I loved working on it. Here’s a snippet of the design.

And speaking of Alaska, the Woog is heading up there for her first mission trip to help with the Iditarod Race (don’t worry, my husband is going with her, plus some really close friends and if I think about it too much, I might not let her go because I’ll start thinking she’ll freeze her fingers off, get lost in a blizzard, get smushed by a moose, fly in one of those little Alaskan planes even when I gave strict instructions for her not to fly in one – I’ve seen Flying Wild Alaska and all the trouble and “close” calls they supposedly have right before the commercial break…humph! ). To help her raise money for the trip, I’m putting together an art fundraiser for her in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that. I’m thinking robot junkadoodles!
