I sort of got invited to a friend’s birthday party in Portland this weekend. I still don’t know if I will be going up there or not, but I wanted to have something for the birthday boy just in case. The birthday boy recently moved to Portland within the past year or two, so I came up with this drawing to celebrate that.
I’m thinking about expanding on this drawing and doing a series for different cities and states. I have this design available in my Etsy store as a print or a card.
It’s finally happening! My first run of t-shirts are now listed for sale in my shop!
I have two designs initially – my “Higher than a Motherfucker” whale illustration, and my swirly Champy. I have men’s medium and large sizes, as well as a women’s large. If these do sell. I will be able to have more sizes and/or colors next time!
These shirts have been hand screen printed here in Eugene, by Threadbare Print House, a small woman-run business that I am happy to support. The designs are printed in black eco-friendly water based ink, creating a softer, vintage look that won’t crack or peel.
You can find more detailed information about each shirt on the listings here.
I very special thanks to Roland for helping me out and being my awesome man model.
Just a quick note to let you know that you can now create your own custom greeting card set by choosing from any of my designs.
Choose any five cards for $14! It’s the same thing as buying four cards and getting one free. Five premium white envelopes are included. Choose from any of my swirly animals, dinosaurs – any of my designs! All of my greeting cards are listed individually in their own section of my shop here.
Happy choosing!
I had some T-Shirts with a couple of my designs printed by Threadbare Press, a local screen printer, and they are done and ready and in my hands! I had several of the popular “higher than a motherfucker” whale tees done, and a few swirly champy tees. I will have more details and better pictures once I get the listings up next week. This initial run is limited, so if you are interested in having one, I don’t recommend hesitating!
I am SO excited about listing these. I can’t wait!
After a couple days of testing and printing, I’ve got new greeting cards!
I’ve made each of my swirly drawings into a 5×7 greeting card. I got some really nice artist-grade cotton fiber card stock to print them on, and I am so pleased with the way the colors turned out. They are so bright and vivid, and the blacks of the swirly animals really pop out in contrast. These are just blank inside, so you can use them for any occasion like birthdays, thank you’s, thinking of you, etc. You could also use them as simple note cards. I also got some really nice smooth white envelopes to include with each.
I have added these all as individual items in my Etsy Shop. Next up for me is making sets of these cards, so you’ll be able to get 5 cards for the price of four. I’m thinking of doing a dinosaur set, a marine animals set, and then an open set where you can pick five cards of whatever you want!
You can see all of the cards in their own section here.
