We recently participated in the Great Oil Leak Poster Project. This group is hosting two gallery shows in Louisiana where they will sell posters and prints to benefit gulf relief efforts. This great cause inspired many talented artists to come together and use their creativity to make a difference.
Our print illustrated by Jen James was one of 42 accepted entries out of submissions from all around the world. Below is her print titled "You Can Do It". Since accepted entries will be displayed and sold at the gallery shows, she wanted to send a positive message despite this very serious disaster. She thought the patrons in attendance might be more inclined to purchase a print with adorable animals holding up inspirational banners for us humans.
Here are some of the other accepted entries:
The prints will be sold at the following shows:

As many of you know, I am expecting a little girl in three short weeks! Yikes. I have spent the last several months preparing the nursery as my husband and embark on parenthood. The big question is, with all that preparing... Are you ever REALLY ready?
Throughout the course of our pregnancy we have called the baby 'owly'... Ever since I started thinking about the room, I knew I wanted to do an owl theme, so maybe that's how it came about. Either way it stuck :-)
In the course of me searching for the perfect bedding, I could not find the perfect combination of modern, whimsical and feminine... so I made my own! I picked out six fabrics with the help of Emily from Tip Toe Studio and she created this...
I tried for a calming space that was light and airy, but also feminine. It is complete with a re-upholstered chair that my mother used to the four of us kids in when we were babies. I think it's important to have some sentimental touches that give the room a soul.
Now we just need the baby!
