I love this work by conrad roset...

Its so romantic and playful...

I love the line and color and the wishy washy feel of the paint placement

I feel like this character if five years old and she doesn't know it yet but she is just flirting her way off the page...

{I love it!}

Well folks it has been a really quite morning here for me, I have been glued to my laptop writing my book. Did you all know I am writing a book? Well, with 3 books illustrated for others and one book published as a personal project, I am so syked to have time to work on my own NOVEL ... 

today I am in my pj's, drinking tea... writing writing writing writing writing writing... 

about a magic world and a boy named Sam! I have cleared my schedule and I think I may write all day... 

This book will be a novel for young adults, and it will also have illustrations, because after all, I am an illustrator at heart. So pardon the dead air...it's all in the name of "Sam's Story"

I found these killer photos from Vogue that were shot in the 1960's and

 just had to share them. I love how "proper" they are. And the women look so tidy. 

I would LOVE a chance to jump into that beaded dress at the bottom!

In case anyone is hosting any last minute summer parties 

here is a great product by charlesandmarie there are 17 bottle openers on the side of 

this ice bucket... looks like you can have your cake and eat it too!

This is a million dollar idea that I wish I thought of...

a six pack holder... genius!

I have seen these cute little puzzle boards all over and I really dig the idea 

of having one for each of your guests as they mill around the party 

and eat and drink with friends, how very cute!
