All new envelopes!


After I cycle through the last few cards with standard white envelopes, I am going to start using these wonderful 100% recycled brown kraft envelopes! I like everything about them. They compliment my cards very nicely. The paper is like the old grocery store bags, thick and good quality.

New winter postcard

Long Overdue!



I've been really busy at my 'day' job as a full time freelance graphic designer. In between meeting all of my deadlines, I was able to produce two more card illustrations. The horses are titled 'Teamwork' and the tractor is 'Greenie' (I had many requests for a green tractor). These, and 4 more illustrations are going to press (hopefully this week) and should be ready for sale very soon.

Stomping Grounds


The South Royalton Market in South Royalton, VT is now selling New England Illustrated cards. I grew up in South Royalton and graduated high school from there in 1992. The Market is a wonderful co-op, well stocked with the best in healthy, organic produce, baked goods, whole foods and out of the ordinary products. The two spaces (now one) that the co-op operates in used to be much different. When I was growing up, there was a bar, the Four Legged Duck, and a pizza place, J&L's. The Market opened in the old bar space in 2001 and expanded into the old pizza place in 2005 (which was a bookstore in between) The transformation is amazing. It's a very warm and welcoming space. I'm happy that my work will be sold there.

Join me this Saturday, May 2, at the Spring Fling in picturesque Brookfield, VT! I'll be selling my New England Illustrated cards at the pond village church (at the intersection of ridge road and route 65). The show is from 9AM to 1PM.
