IF: Fast
The hot dog and hamburger are from other designs.I thought Fast Food would work for this week's them so I combined them to make this retro restaurant sign. This is my entry for this week's Illustration Friday theme--"fast."
Three Amigos
This is a must have. These three buddies designed in rich vibrant colors on tshirts, bags and more.
Mariyah Mermaid

IF: Germs
So...you caught a germ? Where are his buddies? Germs usually travel in large groups of other nasties. LOL This is my entry for Illustration Friday's theme "germs."
I'm thinking Cody the Cootie would be good on a Get Well card and on a T-shirt.

IF: Pattern
I did a different version of this for a greeting card but thought this would work for Illustration Friday's theme "pattern."
Originally I wanted to create a Zentangle but I'm nowhere near finished. So many projects too little time (sigh). I've also been playing around with digital patterns and textures lately to give the designs depth and to add a bit of fun to them. I think I'd like to do more of this type.

Illustration Friday: Infinite
"Love is patient; love is kind; it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. It is not rude; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4:8

Thinking of you
I must be in a cat phase because here's another kitty. Her name is Neferteri. There is also a stamp to match. The card text is customizable both on the front and inside.
I'm thinking of putting her on some other things.
Let me know what you think.

Nigel in Starlight: new card you can customize
I've been playing around with colored pencils---a medium I'm new at. After playing around with it I decided that a digital version would make a nice card.

Illustration Friday: Welcome
We have 3 spoiled and lazy indoor cats. If they wanted to catch a mouse, I believe this would be how they'd do it. Of course we'd have to make the sign and place the plants. LOL

Happy Halloween Stamp
Woohoo..just got my stamp okayed to go with my "Put On Your Party Shoes" Halloween postcard.
Summer is leaving fast
I can't believe how many trees are losing their leaves. Summer hasn't been here very long and it seems to be leafing aahhh... I mean leaving fast. LOL It looks like winter will be bulldozing in this year. Oh well, we've had it easy for the last two years so I guess it's time to pay-the-piper. I've been doodling some fall designs. When I get one I like I'll post it here.

Halloween Will Soon Be Here
The leaves are changing color here and starting to fall off. It won't be long till Halloween so I thought I'd design a couple of postcards. They're customizable so you can change dates, location, time etc.
This is Witchiepoo--my cute little witch.
A cupcake party for Halloween--what could be sweeter.

Illustration Friday: Magnify
Oliver has pressed his little face up against the fish bowl to get a good look at Goldie and now it's magnified.
Pressed for time I combined Oliver's head and Goldie the fish from two other designs to make this one.

School Daze
It's back to school time! Woohoo, my cupboards won't be emptied so quickly with my teenage son and his friends at school. I swear teenage boys have hollow legs and their motivations are food or the latest computer game. I'm really looking forward to some peace and quite.
Back to school means new school clothes and I've designed some neat t-shirts in honor of the teenage boys’ never-ending quest for food.
These aren't the only shirt types available. You can browse around and pick the style you like.

Banana Split Day Is Coming
Wooohoo! August 25th is National Banana Split Day and I've created a design to celebrate it.
The Banana Split is 105 years old. Apparently it's not clear who invented this yummy concoction but it's celebrated in Latrobe PA where they say it was invented by Dr. David Strickler at the age of 23 when he was working at Tassell Pharmacy. According to his daughter he even designed the first banana split dish and a company in nearby Grapeville produced it.
For more info on this delicious treat check out Brick Farm Ice Cream.
Every wondered what flavor of ice cream you were? Here's a fun quiz to find out.
Show your love of ice cream and buy yourself one of these frosted mugs.
Or indulge yourself and buy one of these magnets for your fridge.

July is Hotdog month and Ice cream month
July is HOTDOG month. The origin of the name “hotdog” has been widely debated. Yes, apparently it is a hot topic. I just like hotdogs and I don't want to know what's in them.
Everyone in my family likes their hotdog a different way. My hubby likes his burnt with mustard, relish, and onions. My son likes his barely warm with just mustard and ketchup. I like mine with mustard, relish, onions and shredded sharp cheddar. Mmmm mmm mmm. Here is what the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council has to say about the origin of the hotdog:
“References to dachshund sausages and ultimately hot dogs can be traced to German immigrants in the 1800s. German immigrants brought not only the sausage with them in the late 1800s, but also dachshund dogs. The name hot dog probably began as a joke about the Germans’ small, long, thin dogs. Ever the butt of humor and rumor, the moniker that stuck was likely a joke regarding the provenance of the tasty sausage served on a bun cut lengthwise.”
The term “hotdog” first appeared “in college magazines in the 1890s. Yale University students began to refer to the wagons selling hot sausages in buns outside their dorms as "dog wagons." The name quickly evolved into "hot dog.”
In honor of the HOTDOG here is a cute fridge magnet. Grab one for yourself and some for your friends.
July is also "ice cream" month. Ice cream comes in so many yummy flavors it's always hard to decide which one to have. In honor of "ice cream" month, we have this cute ice cream design on an apron. Check it out and get one for yourself and one for a friend.
