Drawing Pouches!

I really like the way these drawing lunches with my Ria Art have turned out, so I just have to share!

Makin' critters, makin' critters 🎶 

Oodles of time to create all day!

Travel Time

I'm coming close to the final deadline for the children's book I'm illustrating for Nothing But the Truth Publishing. So I requested time off from the day job so I could work around the clock on these drawings!

I decided to take a road trip to my most favorite location, Sunriver, Oregon. Here in the woods, there are no distractions from my beloved San Francsico and I am free to create all day.

Such a wonderful feeling, and I feel so very blessed to have time like this to create lovely art in such a peaceful place.

Papa

Just a reminder that it's Father's Day this year on the summer solstice. So go ahead and celebrate your papa like little Jinky here, or just take a moment to appreciate all the awesome dads in the world.

Jinky couldn't wait for Sunday apparently, so he got started a little early~

Re-Touch

After the art-licensing class I finished, I'm really considering looking into manufactures that hire illustrators to make their products beautiful!

With that being said, I'm revisiting some. pieces that are more commercial. I even included a section for them on my website.

My first plan of action after re-touching some pieces is to shop! I'll go to some of my favorite shopping spots and see what item I like. Usually the products say who the manufacturers are, and that  will give me a lead for where I should start submitting.

I'll be sure to write about my next steps in this process, but in the meantime, here is a sweet little raccoon playing his piccolo, which would be so adorable in a baby's nursery~

Greeting Cards

It has been a long time coming, and now I'm finally getting around to creating a post for my Ria Art greeting cards in my Etsy store!

Im pretty excited to finally have so e version of my illustrations available for sale through my shop. The cards are the perfect size for sending a thank you, birthday greeting or to just say hi. They are blank inside, so there is plenty of room to write your very own customized message.

Here are two:

Lulu Book

I recently just edited my critter book & ordered a copy from Lulu. I  think it trend out quite lovely-Mr.  Orange and Arty Heart certainly agree.

If you are someone who is considering self publishing or someone like me who wants copies of their book dummies to share with editors and art directors, I recommend Lulu!

Check it out here:

It's really great for people who are considering self publishing because you have access to selling your book on Amazon directly from the site.

Awesome Coffee

In the morning I cannot function without coffee, and what better way to super charge my day than to drink my coffee out of an awesome mug? That's just how I feel about my Adventure Time Scouts on this coffee mug!

I put my other Ria Art pieces (original and fanart) on mugs too! Check them out in my RedBubble store: RiaArtWorld

So exciting!

Custom Etsy Order

My 'create your own Amigurumi set of six' is by far my most popular seller on Etsy, which I so much fun for me because as I have said before, I really love seeing which critters people choose for themselves.

This particular buyer just wanted them to be little toys instead of magnets. She ordered a blue and yellow bird, a frog, a pig, an octopus and a turtle.

Check out all the critters in my shop!

I love custom orders too. So if you have a little critter in mind, don't hesitate to contact me!

Bird Keychains

I have been making these bird keychains for a while now & they have been doing quite well when I have sold them at conventions or shows. So I think it is now time to add them to my Etsy shop! 

The crow is my favorite since the little guy makes me think of Game of Thrones-which I have been enjoying lately, both the books and the show:-)

However, this birdie also comes in a variety of colors, Robin's Red, Baby Blue Jay, and Canary Yellow.

These little birdies are just about 3" tall and come ready to go with their keychains! 

Birdie & friends!

He even comes with a little bag.
