When Laila’s mom said she wanted ‘pink polka dots’ I flipped. This is a woman after my own heart. If Fergie were more girlie, I’d design a pink polka dotted art piece for her too.
My favorite proofs below, including a snazzy pink zebra striped proof I had to do just for me. 
YUMMMMM PINK!!!!
This is my 2nd piece for Dear sweet Winston, whose days are sadly numbered as he is at the age where it is time to go to the big dog park in the sky. This will be a gift for his daddy from his mom, and I hope will touch his heart this holiday season. I had a hard time creating a design that would work well with the one I made in 2005, and considering that one is one of my favorite art pieces I have done, it made it even harder. I’m thrilled that his mom is happy with the results, and can’t wait to see how the gift goes over.

For those who have yet to enter the lens rental contest, you have just a few short hours left! (See post below).
Ruby’s art I am currently working on. Behind on doing proof revisions, something I do for the vast majority of clients. Many art pieces needs a little tweak here and a little shift there to be ‘just right’ before being sent off to the printer. I have been battling a chronic illness the past month (one that has been around for two years and seems to be worse during the first quarter), and although I thought I was on the upswing last week things actually got worse, which has left me behind on so much. So now I am doing the best that I can and trying to get the most important things done every day. Also taking my ‘magic tonic’ which has amazing curative properties even though it tastes like moldy herbs in alcohol! Mmm, mmm….
Ruby. Her proofs are unique in that I have never done anything like this before. I am working with size contraints, so instead of choosing the size from my price sheet, we designed our own based on my client’s space. And what is so cool about this commission is that my client is agreeing to go with my idea of doing 3 separate tall canvases instead of one large triptych. I positively can’t wait to see how it looks on their wall!
Imagine the 3 proofs below as separate canvases. I want to do this for my home too!
I would love to do a die-cut triple fold card with the following proofs. A thin black border around each of them would look so cool.
If I get a chance to photograph Ruby’s art once hung I will share those shots here.
Next up, Mr Tiggz, who some of you may remember from his sneak peek post, and also his photobook. His mom absolutely adores him.
This first one was what I call a ‘wildcard’. I frequently design a proof in the colors and design that I think the client would like, but is not necessarily what they asked for. Do they ever order the wildcard? Yes! About 30-40% of the time.
