recently i've been asked to create so many hand lettered designs that i decided to plop some of the letters into a font program...this new font "LINEDANCE" is available here for only 5$! p.s. for 5$ don't expect great kerning ; )
i just posted my latest recipe on They Draw & Cook...see it here ...there are so many options!
colored pencils are very relaxing!
tweaking some old files i recently discovered...i have folders titled "ideas", "in-the-works", and "just-for-fun"...
I definitely cook more once the fall season starts...and this is one of my very favorites, it's also tasty on steel cut oats...
in case you missed this on my FB here it is again...it's my current favorite thing to draw!
we had a raffle on TDAC and the winner got to have their favorite recipe illustrated by nate or myself...the winner was Urania Mylonas and she sent us in her Mom's recipe for Stuffed Tomatoes! Urania helped us plan our trip to Greece so i was ultra inspired to create this!
...a few quickies that i'm gonna try and work into my map of paros! it's a very "colored pencil" kind of island ; )
what a fantabulous trip i had with my brother nate + his boyfriend jim!!!!!! there is so much to share but for now here is a pic of the beach stones i gathered from the almost 20 beaches we discovered!!
meeting nate and jim in paros, greece!!!!!!!!!!!!! we have lots of projects to brainstorm and lots of islands to explore! be back in september with stories, colors and ideas ; )
here's a yummy recipe i illustrated just for nate's birthday! simple + splendid!
made this quick little doodle for nate's birthday! not bad for 10 minutes ; )
i just got back from a fabulous vacation with 21 family members and it was 100% awesome! when taking a break from the huge waves and never ending beach i sat on the porch with my colored pencils ; ) ... what a grand week!
as soon as i saw this recipe in the paper i whipped up this illo to go with it...the original didn't use lime juice but i couldn't resist cuz i love the flavor limes in the summer and i love drawing them ; )
i'm loving this super hot + steamy summer so far!
finally finished my recipe for grilled veggies...easy + yummy! happy grillin'!
even tho it's been a super hot summer so far (which makes me very happy), i've been playing around with holiday images....my blog posting is slowing down cuz my new swimming routine is taking over!
i think my sister might be printing this design on some baby onesies to sell in her shop ... VALENTIA, 2042 N. Damen, Chaicago ; )

my favorite instrument to draw...bouzoukis! they are big teardrops with smiley faces.
my second cousin was over today and added her creative skills to the chair cushion! thanks kendel!
nate and i sure got a lot of doodling done on the chair while he was visiting last week!
enjoying the sun and mild temperature today cuz it's going back to 40's and rain next week ...
since the cats have created the fringe effect i thought i'd at least add some doodle-ly decoration. i wish all of my blog friends could add their drawings to the chair too! if you're in the neighborhood, stop by...i have plenty of markers ; )
