Shoes. I've always loved well-designed shoes, but the cost is often prohibitive which is probably a good thing since I have limited closet space. The right shoe can literally make or break an outfit and this is the reason we women often have so darn many pairs of shoes. They are lovely pieces of sculpture in my opinion. This vintage spectator pump is on my latest personal stationery notecard design.
I've been inspired lately by several artists who create an amazing array of work on a daily basis. My current favorite is the Daily Drop Cap by Jessica Hische. Her wonderful sensibility to typography is truly superb. So, I'm carving out time at least three days a week to work on small stil life illustrations.
Here's the first in the series—a little pink cupcake confection with sugar sprinkles on top. It's also employed in my latest birthday invitation in my shoppe. This two-sided invitation is customizable—change the fonts, the message and color. I'm thinking of throwing an adult cupcake party with my girlfriends. Why should our kids have all the fun?
