She requested them to fit into a 5x7 frame. I can't wait to see them framed up and displayed. <br />

I used to custom make cards for every birthday I attended but hadn't done them in a while. I am glad i started making them again. The person/kid really loves it and it makes it an extra special gift for their very special day.<br />

Created when i first started selling my artwork. I wanted to figure out how to print these as a set but couldn't figure out how to keep the costs down in order to sell them on my Etsy shop. I sell them as 8x10 individual prints. Thinking about making a coloring book with these! What do you think?</span></span></h1>

Since we went to Oahu for vacation, it was the perfect location for me to design these murals for <a href="http://southbayaquatics.com/">Southbay Aquatics</a> in Southern California. Done in illustrator, printed full as full size wall banners. Pool is still under construction. Can't wait to see these in real full size. Pictures to follow.<br />

<br />
The customer really liked my artwork but had her own design in mind.<br />
She was looking for a gift for a one year old boy. An Illustration of a carousel with children on horses/animals and the birthday boy riding an elephant. Something whimsical and colorful.<br />
She also wanted to add the lyrics to the song "the circle game" by Joni Mitchel.<br />
<br />
The process went as smoothly as it could be and I am proud of the final product!<br />
<br />
I really hope the little boy and his family love it as much as we do.<br />
<br />
The final product was drawn by hand, then inked and colored in photoshop.<br />
The final size ended up being 8.5" x 14"<br />

I had already posted this image on an old post but never for Illustration Friday<br />
I wanted to re-post just for this weeks theme!<br />
<br />
My Robot in Space was originally a pencil drawing then I took it into Illustrator and re-drew it and colored it.<br />
<br />
I also sell it in my etsy shop<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/95523299/robot-in-a-rocket-ship-thru-space"> here</a> if anyone is interested! :)<br />

Its totally awesome to check my email and see "congratulations on your sale"<br />
yippie!<br />
now i am up to 6 sales! hot dam!<br />
The sad thing is, it shows that my shop has been opened since 2008! thats hilarious.<br />
yes, i did open my shop then to sell some custom greeting cards.<br />
then life got in the way....i gave up on it for oh my 3 years and then was convinced to start it up again by my great friend at chessmore designs (check out her shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/achessmoredesign?ref=top_trail">here</a>) who hired me to draw up some cute illustrations for her shop.<br />
Seeing how well she is doing, inspired me to give my little shop another shot. why not right?<br />
Slowly but surely I will be adding more and more items to my shop.<br />
I print everything from my cannon pixma printer that unfortunatelly only prints up to letter size.<br />
need to eventually invest in a larger printer so I can print bigger sizes.<br />
Anyone know of any good but not so expensive large size printers let me know!!!!!<br />
<br />
Ok I think i have rambled enough....<br />
<br />
back to work on my next illustration....hope you like dinosaurs. teehee<br />
