Paw Prints

Caitlin McClure, a talented designer, has set up her Paw Prints Etsy shop! The custom illustrations are ready to impress anyone who has a furry friend and would like to capture the true essence of them. Send her a message and a clear picture of your beast and she will let you know when you can be expecting your custom illustration. Such a cute concept! I know Coco will probably be getting one of these in the near future, just have to figure out how to photograph a very dark dog and catch her brindle coloring.

830 Mile Monday

This week we pulled from things we are actually working on. Caitlin's (Chattanooga) is part of a save the date and mine (NYC) is part of a Kentucky Derby party invite. 

830 Mile Monday

Caitlin (Chattanooga) was in Mexico for 10 DAYS! So we decided before she left we would share our week in 3 images. I love the color difference between NYC and Mexico in February.
I (NYC) attended a few fashion events last week and had our niece in town mixing some beats. Caitlin seems to have gotten very close to the wildlife in Mexico.

Chipotle's Amazing Claymation

This little gem, brought me to a happy place. Starting over, making it about the farm and creating sustainable, nutritious food, should be top on our list. Quality over quantity.

830 Mile Monday

This week, I asked my good friend Lisa Llanes to guest post, since Caitlin is in Mexico on vacation. Lisa went to the Creative Circus with me in Atlanta, for design. She shares the 830 Mile distance since she is up here in NYC.

Category was graffiti with a touch of love (type).

Lisa had love on the mind, this lead her to think of one of the greatest hits of the Beatles.  I had this quote from Little Bee by Chris Cleave, stuck in my head for the past couple months (by far one of my favorite reads.)

Be sure to check out Lisa's blog :)

What I am Working on Tuesday!

I have been doing a lot of side work for family members and their Etsy shops. In this case, my sister in law's shop isn't up yet but this is the first rendition of the logo. We are thinking of maybe making the buttons on the tent top more realistic. Probably try a vector version as well. This is it for now.

Day on A Plan (Weight Watchers)

So I joined WW about 1 month ago! Loving every minute of it and sometimes have little slip ups but it is nice to know I can still eat the things I love and lose weight...It's all about MODERATION people! I thought it would be fun to do my semi sketch a day according to what I have had to eat today!

Design Sponge's new site excites me!

Check it out here.

The very talented Jimmy Johnston, a fellow Creative Circus graduate, did a neat take on some imagery that I had to share with you!
Creation for the video, straight from Jimmy's mouth:
"Shot still frames in burst mode, 3.5 frames/second, then I went in and photoshopped every single frame with different textures to give it an old flickery film look. I didn't want the textures to be static, so each frame the textures have a different orientation, opacity, blending mode etc. Then I just strung them all together in iMovie."
