I think not. Anyways, I have prints, zines and cards available for sale. Contact me by email or visit Swipe Design to purchase. This is a cute little illustration I did the other day for a Swipe Design promotion (I'll post the final image next week perhaps). I am loving how it turned out and thinking of making some last minute Christmas cards of these little guys... hopefully there will be time!

The cats are based on the 3 cats I have owned in my life, Callie, Eli and Ted. Sadly Callie passed away recently, but she will be memorialized in this little painting. <3

The festival celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Grimm's Brothers Fairy Tales Collection. It was a very fun and engaging project for me. Check out their website for more details:
