After much deliberation I decided to consolidate my presence on Etsy. Managing and promoting two shops and integrating them with my shop online was proving to be challenging. Now I have an official Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp Etsy Shop!

For anyone in Europe interested in my drawings but not interested in the high shipping costs from the states, I have started listing my art on a European site which will print reproductions. Artflakes offers a range of options including framed prints, posters and note cards. I am in the process of adding a wide selection of my work.

One of the joys of living in a small town is your chances of being featured in the local newspaper get really high. With that in mind one of my drawings was recently featured in the paper. It was a drawing with a lot of color originally but was shown black and white. I think it looked surprisingly nice:
Just so everyone knows, my name is spelled Erika, not Ericka

Recently I was given a pair of earrings that are little wooden scissors. I wanted to send a thank you card for them and decided to design this card.

I get my business cards from Moo.com and I love them. They make me really excited to buy something as boring as business cards. As an artist I love that I can have so many different pictures on the front of each card, it’s like having a drawing portfolio in my wallet. Here are some pictures of some of my most recent business cards.

"Healer" 11" x 14", ink & gouache on paper
I recently finished this drawing as a gift for a friend. He lives in the community that I live in and has an enormous amount of love and healing energy which he shares freely with those around him. I felt that I really wanted to create something for him to show him how much I appreciate him and his knowledge. As soon as I decided to create a drawing for him this image sprung into my mind.
I have lots of drawings that I am working on right now. Here is a quick sampling of some of the pieces.
