Wake Up & Work: Our Workday Morning Playlist
Wanted to share something a little different than my normal content... Last week I made a map of my current city: Suzhou, China! . Over the past couple weeks I have been pushing myself (way) out of my comfort zone as an illustrator. I created something new! I’ve never made a map like this before and I used a lot of new methods, colors, and processes that are totally different from what I lean toward. I created ink splatters with Chinese ink and put everything together completely in photoshop (instead of illustrator, where I’m much faster and more comfortable). . I had SO MUCH FUN making this. Forcing myself out of my comfort zone led to a lot of those “aha moments” when something new falls into place! Already thinking ahead to my next map. What city should I make?
When is it officially holiday season? I already started welcoming winter this week by making a GIANT pot of chili, is pretty much my winter fuel. Now that the chili is made and cozy socks have been pulled out of the closet, I say BRING ON THE HOLIDAYS. For those of you who are (like me) already feelin kinda celebratory, you should know that our line of holiday cards come with these gorgeous scarlet envelopes and I am pretty stoked about them. They’re all stocked and available in our shop, ready for whenever you decide it’s time to start thinking about who to send cards to this year... 💌
It’s November (!!) and that means it’s time for a new set of free digital wallpapers! This month I’m using our cosmo pattern, which is a part of our 2018 holiday print collection that will be releasing soon on @spoonflower. The desktop, tablet, and phone wallpapers are free for subscribers, sign up on our blog, link in profile ✨
These days I have been traveling around China with my mom! We’ve been to classical gardens, ancient villages, temples and national parks... some of the spots that inspired this birthday card, among others ✨ I love China! So much inspiration which I’m sure will make its way into future illustrations.
