I'm finally doing something I probably should have done as soon as I opened up my shop and had my first sale: a customer photo gallery. Because I love to see how my creations live out in the world! So now, if you send in a high-quality photo of yourself wearing the...

I caught the boy's cold last week (and in fact still have it) so if you're wondering where I've been on the blog and Twitter, the answer is the couch. Or bed. Not much time spent on the computer the last few days. Or at the Gelato World Tour, as planned - SO bummed to...
You may remember I opened a new digital shop not too long ago. I've been working on filling it up. Right now it's mostly pre-made Etsy shop banners, and design services (including blog tweaks, if you need help). And while I'm still working on my first pre-made blog...

1. The quasi-in-laws are in town, which means last week's cleaning frenzy has been followed by lots of cooking, eating out, watching movies/TV, and checking out Austin things like Torchy's Tacos and the new aquarium - which is not great, but not terrible. It has lots...
Photo series of the week: Stardust. Beautiful but NSFW. Illustration series of the week: If super heroes competed in the Olympics. Sculpture series of the week: Shadow Sculptures. Google Admits Google+ Was Just A Ploy To Track Your Behavior Online. Arranging Your...
1. I'm a beta tester for a new stock image site, and it's awesome. (and also sekrit, sorry) So if you've noticed new header images on regular post series (Bits & Pieces, TTT, this), that is why. And I have more lined up. Bwahahaha endless photos. Sidenote: I actually...
