Our dog likes to chase birds (he’s a beagle); consequently, whenever we yell “Birdie!” he whips himself up into a frenzy and pounces on the nearest windowsill, anxiously scanning for feathered foes.

The piece above is a work in progress. It’s one of those “I have no what idea what I’m doing but it’s fun!” pieces, and is called “Where’s the birdie?!” It’s relatively small but it’s taken me about 4 hours just to get to this point. I want to do more tonight but I think my hand is going to fall off lol. I hope you like what I’ve done so far!

Here are two more sneak peaks at the art I’ll be adding to my Cute collection:

I’ve just added another series of prints to my Etsy shop: Wee Triplets.

I’ve always been a fan of artwork arranged in groups of three, and decided to do the same thing with my Wee animals. I also got the chance to experiment with color combinations (you can never have enough practice!).

Ubiki Floral is a new line of prints based on illustrations from The Botanical Magazine, an 18th century English gardening periodical. Ubiki Floral is exclusive to Etsy only; I hand-cut alpha-cellulose paper and then print each piece using long-lasting pigment inks.

I’m quite happy with the way these came out–they add a nice splash of color to the wall, especially when framed in white. Each print comes with a separate information sheet that lists the common name, scientific name, and a relevant excerpt from the periodical.

You can see the prints at the Ubiki Etsy store!

Holly Becker’s decor8 is one of my favorite design/arts blogs and was one of my primary inspirations to start Cuteable — so it was a great honor and surprise to see a post mentioning my Etsy prints! A *very* special thanks to Candis of Paper Shop Ink., as it was her original post that Holly found.

In addition to the new cute prints that I’ve been working on, I’ve also got some chic floral prints that will be offered exclusively through Etsy. I’m planning to have these up for sale early next week! =)

Ubiki was recently featured on ParentDish. They liked the orange Super Dog print (one of my more popular prints). Thanks, ParentDish! =)

I’ve been reading the sub-studio design blog for some time now; they feature a lot of amazing interior decor pieces and I’ve linked to them on occasion from my own blog (PadStyle).

I was therefore quite surprised to find out they had their own art store on Etsy. A two-person team, they offer beautiful hand silk-screened prints and cards with a distinct aquatic theme. I’ve seen two types of art that they sell; a more realistic, biology-book meets lithography style, and a more artistic/cartoony style.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately! =) I’ve been developing a new style; think of it as Ubiki Cute Version 2. Here’s a sneak preview:

I hope to have these prints ready for sale by some time next week, so stay tuned!

I found this lovely comment on AT:Nursery regarding my orange Super Dog print:

I bought the superdog print last week in orange and it arrived today. The print is super cute and the quality is great, especially for the price!

This totally made my day, thanks codachroma!!! =)
