   Here are a few of my illustrations that were on display at SOHA Studio and Gallery's annual Holiday Gift Show this past December. I always enjoy visiting this show, and usually come away with several new treasures. This year was no different - I found a beautiful glass ornament and fun illustrated card to take home! December's show featured a collection of wearables, ornaments, housewares, and art by over sixty St. Louis makers. Thank you to those of you who supported St. Louis artists!

    For month of July, I will be sketching jungle and rainforest critters! You can follow along on my Facebook page, Twitter, and this blog. In addition to the handful of jungle illustrations I've done in the past, I will be sharing some new ink and watercolor sketches. Eventually, all of these critters will be appearing in a new jungle and rainforest themed coloring book!
I'm currently working on some new illustrations featuring cute critters with a fantasy feel. View four of the new critters below. I'm aiming to have these available starting in June!      A new little puffin illustration created in watercolor & pen.
 Coming soon...a new Unicorn & Pony Coloring Book! This was a comissioned project that I enjoyed working on. I am adding the finishing touches on this project and it will be released shortly.
Update: find the Unicorn & Pony Coloring Book in our shop! Can I send you an email to give you the first look at new critter illustrations? Join my email list to receive updates about my art and shop, The Inky Octopus.  I decided to create this watercolor & pen illustration a couple of weeks ago. The jolly Christmas Owl is available on holiday cards at Zazzle! Also keep an eye out for new owl gift tags in my Etsy shop.
I will be offering a handful of new cards soon! After having several requests for matte paper, I decided to create a new line of them. These cards feature thick 16pt paper stock. With a light satin coating on the outside illustration, the inside is left uncoated, making it easier for you to write your message. This premium matte stock gives each card the look of the original watercolor illustration. I love the way they've turned out! Keep an eye out for them in the shop in the next few weeks.
Update: check out the cards in my shop! Can I send you an email to give you the first look at new critter illustrations? Join my email list to receive updates about my art and shop, The Inky Octopus.  A silly new doodle in watercolor and pen.
 Here's my painted bowling pin! I decided to depict one of my favorite octopus characters with some balloons for the celebration. Join us on July 8th in Maplewood for more artwork, live music, and a parade! View more details about Let Them Eat Art.
