I’m a lifelong pattern lover and wrapping-paper collector, and I’ve been amassing snapshots of tile patterns over the years; lately I realized I’ve also been getting inspired by the images and patterns from Penguin Classics and Penguin Scores that I keep seeing all over the internet. Today I’m brainstorming some ideas for new card designs and I started collecting jpegs of Penguin cover patterns from around the internet… in the interest of documenting my inspiration I thought I’d collect some favorites here. If I manage to turn this into a great card design or pattern idea, of course I will post that here too!

had a table at a really cute craft fair in Colegiales on Sunday.
it was sponsored by this shop: www.ca-nas-ta.org
it was tons of fun, gorgeous weather, met lots of nice new people, sold lots of cards!

new card designs! updating my website! organizing my hard drive!
i don’t have any freelance projects right now :/ which is something that i kinda always want – because i love having creative time to myself!! – but also scary because i need the paychecks, ya know. and i don’t know when i’ll have work again. freelance life is such a constant roller-coaster. anyway, this down-time is filling my mind with lots of fun project ideas. but for now, i’m trying to focus on Morris & Essex. I’ve made some sweet new card designs (see above!) and i am now updating my website with the new designs, and thinking about how I can sell more cards! publicity is the hardest part, but it’s also probably the most important. of course, i’ll post all the new stuff when it’s ready to share.
