Happy Valentines Day all you hotties!

This is the day I wait for, full of doilies and sugar and kisses. I’ve been making valentines with a frenzy and a glue stick.

I have cohorts in this activity: a table-full of valentine vixens gathered recently at the home of Mary Anne Lloyd.

Bliss is a clutter of paper scraps and chocolates.

Here are a coupla quickies of mine, things go faster with vintage letraset!

I also made valentines at the Sweet ‘Art pop-up shop, in the company of fine illustration students from Maine College of Art!

That First Friday was chock-a-block with wonderful things, including these two paper wonder dresses.

I visited the Crypto-Fauna, Chimera-Flora show over at Sanctuary Tattoo, in which I have some work on display along with other MECA illustration students. Here, the lovely Carrie-Anne, gallery coordinator, poses with a piece by Declan McCarthy.

From there, I bopped over to Portland Stage Company, right next door, to see Words By: Ira Gershwin and the Great American Songbook. I’m always tickled to see my work in front of this amazing theater.

Love, love, love the set design that echoes the mosaic theme! Bravo, Anita Stewart!

The live band was killer, too.

Today is yet another snow day, but the beat goes on. I’m back to revising my John Muir sketches and will be heading out of town tomorrow. Enjoy this cozy day, love birds!
