art prints for the calgary comic and entertainment expo

I'm pleased to announce that I will have a table in the small press section at this years's Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, April 26-28, 2013. My booth will be Q07 (see the map at the end of this post), right next to fellow children's illustrator, Mike Boldt, the intention of which is to have an unofficial children's area among all of the art and booths that are aimed at older audiences.

In preparation for the con, I've spent the last few months making prints, postcards and pins of some of my existing illustrations as well as working on some new pieces for prints that will only be available there. Here's a little look at some of the things I'll have at my table...

Beehive, Balloon Girl and Accordion Player prints:

Cloud Nine and Waving Boy postcards:

I apologize that some of these photos are a bit fuzzy. I'll post proper scans of everything before the convention.

I will have booth Q07 which is circled in pink on the map below. Follow our hashtag #Q07 for Comic Con related updates!

Thank you postcards & children's promo

Today I completed 2 things that I had been working on. One was the thank you cards from our wedding. I really should have sent those out sooner (the celebration was almost 3 months ago) but my husband and I are both creative types and we didn't want to just buy regular thank you cards, opting instead to design our own thank you postcards. Since our actual wedding was an elopement and no one was invited, we thought it would be nice to send everyone a photo of us from the wedding. The front of the postcard looked like this:

The back side just had "thank you" printed all over it in a bunch of different fonts. I really like how it turned out. I love typography...

And the other thing that I finished was the promos I made to send to children's book publishers. I loved illustrating that children's book so I'm trying to get some more work in that area.
