More Adventures in MATS Bootcamp - NEW SHOP!!!


 This is just one of the items in my new shop!! 




I am so excited at how awesome these products look. I started the Making Art That Sells Bootcamp at the beginning of Feb because I wanted to try out and see if Lilla Rogers Studio courses were right for me. Within the first week I took all my bills money and signed up for MATS Part A starting on March 31st!!! And yeah it's been tight financially this month, but creatively I feel like I am flying.

This is the first sketch I did for the class.

I have been in character animation for many many years, and children's book illustration for a long time as well. I love them both dearly but getting to do, and sell, my own work? What a dream. In October of 2013 I started selling some of my Scottie and Westie drawings on Cafepress because someone asked me if they were for sale.. so I opened a shop on the fly-it started because I was going to be in an art show and I had nothing else ready-anyhow, then in November I got some of these products licensed and now I am learning about patterns and art that is totally different and I LOVE it.


These are the sketches for the Scottie and Westie clocks that are for sale as iPhone and droid cases via my cafepress shop



I already have two of my cuckoo-clocks for sale in my cafepress Westie and Scottie shop (SEE ABOVE SKETCHES) and now I have a new Society6 shop as well and have put NEW MERCH in there! How awesome! I am sooo excited about this whole process that I can't tell you. Here are some of the items available in the new shop. I hope you like them!

Wow What A Year-So Far & New Illos!

Wow-what a year it's been and it's only August!! We have so much more to go and that includes a presidential election in the fall--could be the most important one in our history--AND the holidays and all this during a pandemic----how did we get here?  Well, I won't pretend to understand why people are the way they are and why we are here but we are.  Here are some illustrations that I did just for fun so far since the beginning of the year.  I'm sorry for not posting as much but I'm also a writer and have been creating new courses and memberships for other writers and it's taken up a lot of my extra time as I still work full time for an online greeting card company here in California This said, if you'd like to check out my stuff for writers you can find it here Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the drawings!!   

Update on Captive8

So the owner of Captive8 in Australia has apologized to me, but she has not paid me. She is upset with me for sharing what she did on here and other social media. I again will say I am not trying to hurt her, but I want to make other artists aware that someone is stealing artwork from the internet and using it. I have given her the chance to pay me and then I told her that I will definitely post this. The new story is that someone else gave my work to her. She hasn't told me who, and hence why it appears to me that she is lying because her first reaction was to say that it looked "similar". It's a real shame that someone would run their company this way. She needs to pay and I am giving her a huge break on my licensing fee, so you would think she would do this instead of having a lawsuit. I will keep you posted! My drawing that I posted here April 17, 2014 The logo that she made sometime this month. As you can see she used the EXACT same image, she didn...
