new printable!

I have a new seasonal printable in the shop! I'm kind of incredibly smitten with this one!! Each card is designed to look like a silent movie title card. It even has a grainy black background to mimic the look of 80 year old film. With white hand-drawn lettering and title-card inspired decorative elements it's the perfect decoration for a classy Halloween! It's available in my etsy shop for $5 as an instant download here.

happy (early) halloween!

This is (tentatively) the October drawing for my 2014 calendar. Until I make my final decision, it's also a new art print in my shop.. perfect for seasonal decorations this time of year! :)

Halloween goodies & a new coloring book!

Halloween party invites are now available in the shop (10 cards for $10) as well as an art print featuring my Halloween drawing. I've also revamped the coloring book! It now has a spiral bound side instead of side-stapling, and a brand spanking new cover.. but you'll just have to go click here to check that out ;-)

Halloween Party Invitations!

Now that fall is here I'm ready for Halloween! I don't enjoy it as much as I did when I was a kid, but it's still a fun holiday. I've never been big on candy, so what I looked forward to each October 31st was bringing home my loot and organizing it. All of the tootsie rolls together, all of the Snickers lined up in a row. Once I had it all perfectly arranged, my mom would take a picture and then I'd let everyone else eat the candy :)

Of course one of the most fun things about Halloween is the Halloween party! I threw one for my little brother a few years ago, and I pulled out all the stops! I made eyeball cupcakes, had a "guess how many maggots are in the jar" contest (rice grains mixed with gray food coloring-- gross!) and I made headstones out of clay (with the names of his guests etched into the stone!) as the placeholders. Then I cut off Barbie arms, glued them to the tablecloth and sprinkled coffee grounds around them to make them look like they were coming out of the grave in front of the headstones. It's hard to explain so here are the pictures:


It was pretty neat :) Anyway, the whole thing would have been even NEATER if I had some really nifty Halloween Party invitations to send...

Speaking of which-- I've just made and listed Halloween Party invitations in the shop! The invitation shows the flappers dressed up in their Halloween costumes as a pirate (note the little parrot and the hook) a jack-o-lantern, a vampire, a ghost and a witch. I'd have one dress up as a flapper, but, well...

They come in packs of 10, at $10 each.

Eloise and Ramona go trick or treating!

I'm starting to work on my holiday themed flappers now, waayyy in advance :) This one I just couldn't resist doing the minute I thought of it! I have a lot of Halloween themed ideas in my head, I hope you'll enjoy them!

Also this week I'm introducing two new characters! Stay tuned :)
