birthday gift tags in the round

Happy Birthday in the Round, gift tags

available through my Artfire shop HERE

These were made around last Spring, but I am just listing them now.

The greeting card has already been blogged about and is view-able HERE. Even though I put the design on a card, it was really meant for a tag. These have been very popular this summer in the galleries and shops I have them in.

Birthday Head

newest cartoon birthday card design

available on-line in my Artfire store through this link

it will also be available at some of the brick and mortar stores in my area
(copyright watermarks do not appear on the actual cards)

If you know my work, you know that this is a total departure for me.

But cartooning has always been an interest all the way back to when I started this blog and this is my first attempt. The inspiration for this card actually came in a dream (even the cartoon element). Gotta feed the muse!

I have more cartoon designs up my sleeve, but first I have to get through Easter before I finish them. I may be able to sneak in some finished projects though (in more of my usual style!).

Fresh off the press!

This is a bit of a departure for me as it isn't very Celtic or Renaissance or fantasy-like or even as elaborate as I tend to get. But I was up last night and wanted to do a project and I've been making a lot of designs in the round, so I thought I'd try a birthday one too.

I had a lot of fun with this one!

Is that my face in that balloon?

Jim Manngard: digital artwork
from a photo of me by Jim Lestrange

I thought this was pretty darned cool when Jim Manngard sent this to me, so I'm posting it here. Jim does a lot of fun digital work for his friends including photos with art (and special meanings) around the frames as well as funny self portraits (including himself as Matryoshka dolls!). Not too much of it out there on the web to see, which is too bad, but it is why I'm posting this one here.

He started his balloon series with the Blackmores Night Band. It is a balloon with a picture of the band with the caption "Blackmore's Night Minstrel Band flying high and reaching for the stars". Days later he made Ritchie and Candice (the married leaders of that band) balloons shaped like hearts flying over a lake. I had told him that I liked these pieces, so he sent me this version. Jim works for Blackmores Night as part of the sound team and takes a lot of tour pictures, some of which he converts to digital art when he is home.

You can see a few of Jim's photos on the Blackmores Night website and the Candice Night website.
