Freckles forever! ❤
This precious family suffered the great tragedy of losing a baby son who would be 8 years old this year. This mother dearly wanted him represented in their family illustration in a special way so I created a small peaceful pure white bird that she is holding with her son (This amazing young man changed his own name to include his brother’s). The bird’s wing is a little blue foot print and his tail is a heart.
As a designer I am often asked both directly and indirectly to create illustrations that represent people’s deepest insecurities, biggest dreams, and most profound hurts. It is a responsibility I do not take lightly and of which I am honored to be invited.
These kitties ended up on a T-shirt as a Christmas gift for their owner.
We called it the kitty-titty shirt because, lets be honest, it was better than putting them on the shirt vertically. I’m happy to report she loves them.
I think I got Joey’s gangly teenage cat look down compared to her older counterpart.
This was fun.
I occasionally get permission to share people’s cards before Christmas (I don’t want to ruin any surprises!).
Lisa just so happens to be an absolutely fantastic parenting coach, btw…
