Behold! One of my favorite illustrations of all time..."Holy City Breakfast"! What is better than a leisurely breakfast on a veranda looking over one of the most fabulous cities in the world? Not much. :-)..

The past couple weeks of my life have been insane. From getting a random flu thing to having a million commissions to wedding dress shopping, which btw's I found "the" dress, it's been super busy! While I have had tons of projects and work to post about, blogging just hasn't been high on the priority list. Well, things seem to be somewhat stable so I will take this time to get back on blogging track. I'd like the start by highlighting some of my favorite projects from the past couple of weeks... First off is a custom fashion illustration for a blogger. Meet Abby from Seven and Stitich. W..

Everything is all set up and my paintings are now on display at the Columbia Metropolitan Airport for the next three months! It is super exciting to be able to say my artwork is hanging in the airport. Now I just to need to schedule a trip so I can go check it out again. ;-) The pieces are set up in the main walkway just after TSA, as you walk towards the terminals. Each column has a piece of work from one of winners that participarted in the Contemporaries gala back in February. I painted three new pieces for the exhibit which included one of my classic "Sweet Tea" mason jars, a Charleston ba..

It is no secret that I'm a coffee lover. Needless to say, I go to "the coffee shop" almost everyday. Where is this coffee shop located? Almost 20 steps away from my studio. Conveniant, no? City Lights Coffee is like home to me. So it's not surprising that this is the 4th time I have displayed my work there. Yes, my artwork is in City Lights Coffee for the whole month of March. This time I am displaying only illustrations. There is a bit of everything...elephants, coffee cups (naturally), coffee drinking fashionistas (again, very appropriate), and Charleston sailor girls, just to name a few. Ch..

Instagram really is a magical place; it brings together people from all over the world who post inspirational and beautiful photos. Through this wonderful (and my most favorite) social media site, I had the pleasure to become acquinted with blogger extraordinaire Caroline of Rainboots and Retail, which has 10,000+ unique views each month along with 12K+ Instagram followers...so you could say her blog has taken off! Caroline, a junior at the University of Alabama, started as a business major and absolutely hated it. Sophmore year she changed her major to fashion retail and never looked back...

After extreme stress and turmoil, I have finally gotten my printer to work! You could say I was extremely troubled by this. It took me over 2 weeks, tons of adjusmtnets, a bizillian test prints, but I have finally done it! And I must say the colors look amazing! It almost looks like I painted right on the paper! These flat notecards are printed on high qaulity cover stock 120 lb paper and I'm in love! I want to send out little notes to everyone I know and perhaps I will!  How it works: Anything you see I have done can be turned into a print! So let's say you loved the "Pink Pumps" ..
