The results are in, and the winners of Ubiki’s first ever “Bare It (W)all” and “Show Us Your Art” contests are Jessica of Idaho and Daniela of Florida. Each will receive a print of their choice from either my ImageKind or Etsy stores.

Below are the complete submissions:

WINNER, “SHOW US YOUR ART”: Jessica, Idaho:

Jessica recently remodeled her daughter’s nursery from predominantly pink to light blue, and chose to hang Eyeball Plant and Five Stalks as part of her wall decor. The results speak for themselves!

WINNER, “BARE IT (W)ALL”: Daniela, Florida:

My husband and I just moved into a new house in Florida. The entry way is crying for some wonderful art!!!! I couldnt choose just one print that I thought would be great. Pigalloon because I love purple and pigs! Moments because Florida is so sunny and wonderful just like the picture, or Windy because its perfect to put right by a front door! Thanks, I enjoyed entering the contest!

Congratulations again, Jessica and Daniela! Be sure to check your email for instructions on claiming your prize.

And thank you to everyone who entered; I enjoyed receiving all your submissions! If you didn’t win this time, your entries will be automatically re-entered for future drawings as long as you haven’t already won.

If you missed June’s contest, no worries–both contests run every month, so be sure to enter before July 31st 11:59 pm PST to quality for the next drawings.

Here’s my latest full color print, Dances with Grazing Chickens. It combines two of my favorite prints–Flip the Bird and A New Friend. I’ve also worked in a green hills + blue sky background for those of you that love landscape type art.

PS - Sorry for the bad cellphone picture — I’ll upload a better one tomorrow!

Thanks to Jen at Indie Fixx for featuring me and for giving me such a flattering writeup–it totally made my day! =) =)

BTW, if you haven’t visited Indie Fixx, it’s one of my favorite blogs to visit for independent/handmade goods. While you’re there, Jen also has a wonderful Summer Shopping & Gift Guide that is a must visit.

Wow, wow, wow! I’ve been featured on ImageKind’s homepage (not that they haven’t already done enough for me) as well as on Coochicoos.

If you recall I was featured on Coochicoos just last week, but I am now participating in their featured artist program where they will run my banner along the top of their site. If you’re an artist yourself, it’s a great opportunity to get exposure. If you have work nursery/kid-friendly work, I encourage you to drop by their site and say hi.

Again, this is seriously such a huge honor. I am really quite flattered, thank you so much ImageKind and Coochicoos!

I found this wonderful post on Keri Smith’s website and found it amazingly relevant as a fellow artist. Particularly true is the one about constantly comparing yourself. The family support/validation is *extremely* relevant too!

Oh wow. I am simultaneously jealous and amazed. I heart Yekou (via Creature Comforts).

PS - I’ve got a few new prints to share, but my printer bit the big one last week so I’m twiddling my thumbs until my new printer arrives (hopefully today).

This last week has definitely been an exploration in styles for me; above are what I call “Light ‘n Airy” prints, largely for their use of light colors and simple lines. I purposely mixed solid blocks of colors with outlines to balance out each piece. As a result, they can only be appreciated by observing them twice: from a distance, and up close.

They’re now available as 8×10s in my Etsy store. Enjoy! =)

I just wanted to say thank you to Coochicoos for their recent article featuring my UbikiCute prints; Coochicoos is a blog that caters to modern parents.

I’ve added four new prints to the ImageKind gallery; unlike the hand-drawn pieces in my Etsy shop, these were created largely with Illustrator’s bezier tool and have a sharp, cartoony feel with splendid colors.

The pictures above are actual prints from ImageKind, printed on enhanced matte paper. IK has outdone itself again with these beautiful reproductions of my work. These prints are available in the UbikiCute gallery.

I’ve just added these prints to my Etsy shop. They’re an update of my hand-drawn style, with thicker ink lines and a textured background. My goal is to add a new one every 2-3 days; if you’ve got a special request for a type of image let me know, because I’m always on the lookout for ideas!
