IC magazine has a circulation of thousands of people all around the globe, so make sure that you submit your best most shiny work of art.

1. Project must be free from limitations of time.

2. Designs must be contestants’ original work and must not contain any third-party logos, trademarks or copyright material. Do NOT place credits on artwork. IC will credit you accordingly.

Workshop Coming Soon!

Best Friends! ...or Food source?


Explanation needed?

Every month the Bear and Bird Gallery is host to the Bear and Bird Workshops. Recently they started an artist series. Where a guest artist creates a unique pattern especially for the workshop. Rosanna Pereyra kicked off the series with the cutes little stuffed bears. They were super fun to make. Coming up is my turn and my theme is Mythical Creatures. tan ta ta tan!!! ...that sounded way better in my head. Before I forget, I'm working on a 3rd pattern for this workshop, something in the realm of Sea Monster. Just want to make sure to give everybody creative options.

If you are in the area and would like to participate in this workshop or upcoming workshop join their mailing list. This way they can let you know when the next one is coming up and you don't miss it and cry a little. (yeah, that's never pretty).

Vinyl Stitch Wars Stickers

Oh my goodness!!! I just found out that the stickers are printed in vinyl! How cool is that!?!? I should be getting the first batch next week. I'm hoping to have them by Tuesday. It all depends on the mail, and lately is super slow... I been waiting for my netflix since Wednesday. Arghhh!!! Anyway I'm super sicked! Can't wait to see them!

Got the Stickers!
Sorry don't have pictures of the actual stickers but they definitely came out nice! I already have a trade set up with an artist friend in Mexico. So again if you are interested in one of your own shot me and email, or leave me a comment.

Limited set available in my shop.

Stitch Wars Stickers

Series available in my shop.

I have a new set of stickers coming soon based on of my plush submissions to the Stitch Wars show. Most of these illustrations I originally created for the patterns, then I put color to decided the fabric. Is a bit more time consuming this way, but then I have a good idea of how the final plush should and mostlikely look like.

I'm not sure the quantity of sticker I'll be getting but I'm definitely planing on putting them up and giving them to friends. I'll have to cut them by hand and then spray them with some UV resistant gloss stuff. If you are interested in a trade let me know. They are close to 3 inches tall.

Set of 7 now availably at my shop.

Stitch Wars opened this weekend!

It was such a good opening night. The croud was great and the artwork even better. It was a fun fill show. If you missed it go check out the pictures at Bear and Bird's flickr. Some of the pieces look really good online but just amazing in person. There is some detail that can only be appreciated in person. ::hint hint:: go check out the show in person.

I'm very excited. I just found out that all my pieces sold and they are going to nice loving homes. I also got a commision to create another "Friendly Wampa".

For the past month or so I been working hard on some new plushes for the upcoming show at Bear and Bird gallery. So far I have 2 characters done and planning on finishing at least two more. A Wampa should be somewhere in the mix. As soon as I have some images available I will post. For now you can visit my flickr so see some work in progress. Oh yeah, Stitch Wars will be happening July 18 - August 28.

What's in the works?

I'm working in a couple of new pieces some paintings, more plushies and possibly a stencil for a show in Belgium. I'm very excited about two new art shows specially Stich Wars at the Bear and Bird Boutique Gallery and Stick Me Hard! I hope soon to put some pictures up. But in the mean time lets stay creative.
