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.  The octopus prints in my shop, The Inky Octopus, are on sale for $5 through August 15!
 Here are a few photos from our booth at the St. Louis Pagan Picnic this past weekend. Thank you for stopping by! I really appreciate all of the support, the inspiration & ideas for new artwork, and the hugs!
Can I send you an email to give you the first look at new critter illustrations and upcoming events? Join my email list to receive updates about my art and shop, The Inky Octopus.  Thank you to everyone who stopped by Strange Folk Festival at St. Louis Union Station this past weekend! It was nice seeing some fans, and meeting some new ones. The setting was quite unique; we enjoyed our booth spot by the pond.
Here are three new illustrations, mainly created for some Valentine cards. I can't believe I've never incorporated a pug into a painting before - they're so fun to illustrate! You can find these critters on some new cards on Zazzle (find the links below), and soon to be added to The Inky Octopus.
Pug Love: card, sticker, postcard. Kitty Loaf: card, sticker, postcard. Kitty & Yarn Heart: card, postcard.  You can now request a quote for custom illustration work directly on my website, The Inky Octopus. I'd love to hear what sort of project you're interested in having me work on!
 I've been getting questions about my available holiday cards this year. There is a limited selection of my most popular cards at The Inky Octopus, and in my Etsy shop. For the full selection however, you can visit my Zazzle shop. This shop is "print on demand" so you can order items in any quantity, and you can also customize many of the items. If you're looking for certain items in particular, you can view my holiday/yule cards, custom postage, ornaments, holiday stickers, and magnets.
If you're interested in placing a custom order directly through me, that is also available, and I am also able to make custom-designed cards and illustrations. Please contact me for more information.  I am excited to announce that a selection of my work is now available at The Heirloom Room! This fun shop is located in Antique Row on Cherokee Street in downtown St. Louis, and it features a beautifully curated selection of home decor, furniture, gifts and local art. Some of my favorite items included adorable handmade plush elephants and fun animal napkin rings. You can now find a selection of my original greeting cards, postcards and illustrated books in this unique shop. Stop by their Facebook page for more photos and information.
