i created this illustration almost exactly two years ago in 2010. they were the first giraffes to appear in my work. about a year after i had the pleasure of visiting my friend in africa. it was truly a dream trip… i went on safari, visited an elephant orphanage and a giraffe sanctuary. one of my favorite moments was at the sanctuary… i climbed up their observation tower that put me at eye-level with the giraffes. when i got to the top they handed me some food. before i knew it there was a beautiful, soft, and somewhat pushy giraffe eating out of my hands!

from that point forward, my work has been full of giraffes… and i’m sure it will remain that way. ^_^

beauty is everywhere

this is another one from the archives. i know many artists love drawing trees and i am definitely one of them. their deceptive simplicity is lovely and we are surrounded by them.

thus, i truly believe we are surrounded by beauty.

this is an older image. the one place i can always convince my hubbahubba to dance with me is in our apartment. and oh my do we dance! some of my favorite times are when we’re in our pjays shimmying to records.

also a friendly reminder that today is the last day to order prints & such and guarantee arrival by christmas.

i believe what makes any work compelling is that it comes from the heart.

earlier this year i stopped accepting commissions. partly because i was overwhelmed by the requests and partly because it became increasingly difficult for me to draw people i didn’t know. i love drawing, but one of the reasons i love my job is because i create from me – my imagination, my experiences, my relationships.

so when friends ask me to draw them, its always a treat… because when you draw someone, its like falling in love with them. even someone you’ve known for a long time – you fall in love with their posture, the various shades of color in their hair, the way that the light catches their smile… all of their details.

for my friends cat & tyler, may your love always grow.
happy anniversary!

have a good day!
