The Licensing Nook

So I got a Boden catalog yesterday and I saw that they have a few (only these 3 actually) illustrations. I was thrilled! Hooray! I feel like more and more advertisers are returning to illustration as a way to set themselves apart.  I don’t know who did these fashion illustrations, if you recognize this artists style, let me know. I am a Boden shopper, I am really into the “reviews” section on their website. It cracks me up to read the reviews from England….”My hubby loved this on me so much I bought another in a different color.” Funny, not sure I could get away with that…

The RISD (Rhode Island School of Design) student and alumni craft show last weekend was the BEST I have ever attended. It spanned 3 blocks and was packed with amazing art. Here are the beautiful objects that I acquired at the show.  Fellow Licensing Nook artists Laura Fry and Liz Dubois were also in attendance.

Here are some more of the cards that I designed for Expressionery.com. I got to create baby, engagement and birthday cards…some friendship cards too! It was fun because I got to round up some art that I had wanted to work with that I was “sitting on” for lack of a better term. I find that I have done that quite a bit. I have art that I like that is just waiting to be used but I don’t necessarily have an entire collection for…they are perfect for projects like this!
