Berkley Illustration

Just found an amazing Etsy shop called, Berkley Illustration. Looks like they've been around for quite some time (2007), but they are new to me. My love for animal art runs strong, guys.

Finally! I just opened up my new handmade Etsy shop, Bow la Beau!

Way Behind...

Sorry for anyone who actually looks at my blog (if there are any of you), but I've been pretty unmotivated to post lately. Also, I recently took a job in the wardrobe department of the Chicago Opera Theater. It is mighty fun, but I'm anxious to get back to Etsytime. The new shop is so close to opening. All I need is a name for it....

Craftsman of the Month: Marañón

Every week, Etsy has a featured seller, which they write an article about and feature them on the front page. Last week, I was introduced to Marañón. She has every right to be featured. She is insanely creative, outrageously gorgeous, and just downright magical in her artistic ways. Reading her down-to-earth interview and getting to know her completely inspired me to use to my hands more and make some art. Not to mention, make me totally envious of her heavenly fro. Be sure to check out her Etsy shop and photo blog on Flickr!
