Well, at the beginning of this summer I certainly had all intentions of blogging more, but I think a lot of brides (past and future) will agree that wedding planning takes a lot! A lot time and energy that is. I never dreamed of all the random decisions that would need to be made. And these are things no one can decide for you. Well, maybe they can but I am not that type of person. However, I will say I can see the light! Perhaps even multiple lights at the end of this tunnel. We are now less than 4 weeks away from the big day. I feel some what overwhelmed that it's so close but super excited ..

Trying to find the perfect wedding gift is always a difficult decision. One can choose something from the couples wedding registry but if you want something super unique you have to think outside the box. Now, I'm not saying artwork is necessarily "outside the box", but my recent commission is certainly special! This particular bride and groom were getting married at the stunning Olde Wide Awake Plantation. Their mothers contacted me several months back and wanted an oil painting of the plantation to surprise their kids. Also, before they presented the painting they wanted to get the whole wed..

Last week I participated in a super fun party at Vestique boutique located in downtown Charleston. The party was in honor of Charleston's annual Spoleto festival and featured my fashion illustrations as well as jewelry from 3 Little Beads. What a fun evening!  ..

While I'm obsessed with this outfit, it might not be very pratical (like most items on the runway I suppose). My main concern is the coat. There is a very very very small window when one can actually wear such a springy coat in the south. However, if I had this outfit I would totally be up for the challenge.  Prints of this lovely lady are available here.  ..

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..
