New Drawing: A Child Sculpture (of food and females #1)

11″ x 14″
ink & gouache on paper

This is the first of a series of drawings which I’m creating for a slim volume of poetry, of food and females. My intention is to create a limited run of hand bound books which I’ll illustrate and bind. Once completed I will sell the finished books on Etsy and at shows. For now, I’m trying to raise funds for this project by selling prints of the drawings on Society6.

This drawing makes a particularly striking framed print. Check out all of the items at Society6:

New Notecards

My final Etsy up-date until I finish assembling a proper photo set-up in my studio are some notecards. All of these cards have some little hand-embellished detail whether it be some painting or some stitching. (click on images to be brought to my Etsy shop)

More Prints Now on Etsy

In addition to the plushies I mentioned yesterday I also have been adding more signed prints of my drawings to my Etsy shop. If there is a drawing of mine that you do not see a print of just contact me and I’d be happy to make prints of any of my pieces to add to my Etsy shop.

Shopping Tumbleweed & Poppleswamp On-line

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!

The new 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.

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.
