Finally, some new items for Etsy

I have been pretty slow to get my Etsy shop going, but I'm slowly but surely getting there. These are a couple of hand painted sketchbooks I've made recently. The loon bird stems from an old sketch and the potted plant was painted from a beautiful one I own. You should get one, a Philodendron, they keep the air in your house nice and clean! I will soon be screenprinting these guys so check back frequently for new designs, archival prints of my paintings and tote bags.

I had painted this mug months ago and thought, really, I am just painting a mug? It sat in the studio awhile, but on this Monday morning I had some inspiration!
