Has anyone seen the movie, Inside Out, yet? I think that it looks amazing and I can’t wait to see it. Threadless is currently hosting a design challenge for the movie and I entered a design featuring a character named “Sadness” and a quote on the “benefits” of crying 🙂 She is totally adorable.
Check it out!
I just reworked one of my older robot designs and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It is one of my best-selling designs so I decided to submit it to Threadless to see how it does. Fingers crossed that it gets printed!!

I created a super cheesy design for Threadless’ Dream Destination challenge. It is a retro/vintage “travel poster” for an imaginary destination called Cumulus. Cumulus is the magical land of puffy clouds and rainbows. It has cupcakes, unicorns and cotton candy clouds. What could be better?
If you want to travel to Cumulus (or at least wear a t-shirt with it’s amazing, magical image on it), check out my Threadless submission!! https://www.threadless.com/designs/cumulus-3/.
With 2 days left in Threadless’ Clueless movie challenge, I decided that I simply had to submit one final design. I used the same quote as my previous submission (because it is still my favorite) but added a little extra happies with some bright colors and a whimsical hand-written font.

Every year, my family and I visit the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. We love learning about the Civil War and even my 5-year-old twin daughters are fascinated by Gettysburg’s rich history.
My daughter, Ellie, can never remember how to say “Gettysburg” so she always calls it the “Battle of Spaghettisburg.” This design was inspired by her funny mispronunciation and the images that always run through my head whenever she starts seriously discussing the “Battle of Spaghettisburg.” Check it out!
My twins turned 5 in March. Guess it is time to FINALLY create keepsake birth records for them 🙂 Wow, I’m slow.
I finished the first one this morning and I’m really excited about it. It is for my daughter, Ellie, who nicknamed herself “Funshine” in honor of one of the Care Bears (her favorite show at the time.) I plan to add her birthday and birth stats when I send it off to the printers.
I can’t wait to work on the other 2!
Happy 20th birthday, Clueless!!! This year marks the 20th anniversary of the iconic, hilarious, and sometimes just plain silly movie, Clueless, starring Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy and Paul Rudd. I can’t believe that it has been 20 years since this movie hit the theaters… I feel so old.
The movie is jam packed with great scenes but one of my favorites is when the main character, Cher (played by Alicia Silverstone), realizes that she is in love with her ex-step brother, Josh (played by Paul Rudd.) While the 2 characters playfully mock each other throughout most of the movie, Cher is eventually drawn to an epiphany when she realizes that she is actually “majorly, totally, butt-crazy in love with Josh.” Josh later realizes that he is butt-crazy in love with Cher too. They kiss and live happily ever after. I love, love. It’s wonderful.
To celebrate Clueless’ anniversary, Threadless is hosting a new design challenge inspired by the movie. You know that I couldn’t resist submitting a design… and of course, it had to be centered around my favorite part of the movie.
I shortened the quote (mostly because I thought that it would work better on a t-shirt) and came up with this…
Hop on over to Threadless’s website to check out (and hopefully vote on) my submission and all of the other Clueless challenge entries!
And because I think that it is kind of fun to see other people’s sketching process, I thought that I would share 2 of my super, dee dooper REALLY rough sketches that eventually worked their way into my final design: 
Check it out my final design, comment and vote! https://www.threadless.com/designs/butt-crazy-2.
A huge thanks to everyone for their support!!!!
Super cute robots in love 🙂
It’s the world’s greatest no-goodnik, Boris Badenov, from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show!
I submitted my Boris illustration to Threadless for their “Saturday Morning TV” challenge. I originally had his partner in crime, Natasha, in the illustration too but there was just something about the black and white Boris that I loved. I hope that it gets printed because I really, really want to get the red version 🙂
If you get a chance, please take a minute to vote/score my design for the competition! https://www.threadless.com/designs/boris-badenov. Just click on one of the numbers to the right of the design (1-5, 5 being the best.) Thanks!!
