I recently licensed my comic book words series to the great folks at Oopsy Daisy. They are available as large 24″x18″ wrapped canvases and “POW!” is available as a night light too. Come on, you know you want to get them for your little super hero!

Psst…won’t this art look cute on other products? They’re available for licensing. Just email me

I’ve teamed up with Love, Linda and licensed some cute t-shirt designs for brother to be, sister to be, big brother, little brother, big sister and little sister. When I was pregnant with Ocee, I could never find cute brother/sister shirts so the only way was to make them.

They make super cute gifts and come is sizes from 3M-4T (onesies & t-shirts). You can order a few sizes here but smaller sizes can be purchased directly through Love, Linda (she’s great!). And if you know of a retailer who needs these in their shop, please pass our info along!

I’ve been working on doing some re-branding for myself since my efforts to separately market the children’s & licensing side of my business hasn’t work like I planned. They tend to crossover all the time, so I’ve decided to brand them as one and not try so hard to keep them separated. I’ve been playing with ideas for a while and really wanted something I could easily change if I wanted to, while still keeping a consistent look. I have a entire page filled up with characters and objects so I’ll never get bored. Here are just a few:

Now I just need to get my sites all combined and I’ll be set!

I recently designed some bibs for your little ones to drool and spit up on this Christmas season. They are available at WalMart, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Kroger & CVS.

My new year started off great when I found my work up on Oopsy Daisy’s site – even in cute styled shots (see the mermaid on the beach?). I licensed a few Junk A Doodles® with them and can’t wait to get my hands on the actual canvases. They have been on my client wish list for quite a while and I’m glad my persistence and follow-up paid off. So excited about this new relationship!

Tomorrow I’ll show you a detailed look at the Valentine’s placemats I did for them – super cute! I blogged a sneaky peek here.

Target recently contacted me (via a contact made at SURTEX) to send them “my book” to share with their creative team. My 3-ring binder of samples or my black leather portfolio was not going to be good enough for them, no, no. I needed something that said “Hey, look at me!”, showed off my style from the front to the back and incorporated my love for found objects, lettering & color, so I created an entire customize album (that I can use later) where the contents can be easily edited and expand to any size.

I mailed it off a few weeks ago and got it back today in the same condition I sent it. I had a professor in college who had made this really cool portfolio that turned into a house (as part of her application for a architectural graduate program) and when it came back to her, she said the person looking through it must have been eating a snickers bar. There was caramel & nugget stuck to most of the pages. So thank you Target creative team for taking such good care of it.

I’ve been working recently on a ton of licensing and children’s illustration projects (guess people are back to spending money again before their budget year is up). So above is a sneaky peek of 2 projects. Yeah, I know you’d love to see the rest, but I think I need to hold off for a while.
