ART PRINT :: Summer Summer SummerTime

Hello my friends! 
I am so excited that we are celebrating the first official day of summer this week, which is why this art print is so timely in it's release. Funny how that works right? ;)


Today I want to share this new ART PRINT with you that celebrates and embraces SUMMER TIME! Plus it may or may not sound like a certain 80's song if you read it in a 'singing voice'! lol Let's face it, summer is most people's favorite season and with it comes tons of fun! The parties, the vacations, hanging with friends, picnics, beaches and so much more.

As you know, I love designing and coming up with ideas for new prints for the shop to share with you all and this one came pretty quickly after a night of playing around with a few colors from my Tombow marker collection, which by the way, are great for brush lettering as well as blending. If you follow me on Instagram, then you see all of my sketches, doodles and items created in my sketch books ALL of the time! ;) I love to see the designs go from sketchbook to print and most of the time, you can hardly see a difference going from design to digital, which is a beautiful thing my friends.

Hello everyone!
 
This week begins the official start to SUMMER and what better way to get ready than by offering up some FREEBIES right? ;) Let the summer celebrations begin!!!!


I for one am super excited about this summer as I have some fun things planned with my daughter that I am so looking forward to. But whether you have big plans to go somewhere or some smaller scale plans that maybe involve a staycation of sorts, this fun freebie is sure to come in handy. I love the fact that it's a smaller scale penant that can be used for ANY event or get together that you are doing this summer.

I used it here, tied to two pineapples for a summer luau spread. I set out all of my favorite tropical fruits along with some fruit bars and a cocktail and I had myself a mini luau party - super fun for summer! You could use this banner for a BBQ, a birthday party, an actual luau or just to add a little 'eye candy' to your summertime tables!

So I hope you will enjoy and use this FREE: 'Mini Summer Penant Banner!

FREEBIE :: Father's Day Art Print


hand lettered art print, father's day, special dad, free father's day art

Hello everyone!
 
Father's Day is almost here and hopefully you have at least 'thought' about what you may be doing but if not, don't panic as I am here to help you out. All this week I have been sharing ideas you can do and a LOT of freebies so feel free to search for them here on the blog if you missed them, but today I am sharing another favorite of mine that I designed last year and was a big hit with the dads. 


This print says a lot and has a special meaning to it. Sometimes our 'dad' may not be the person who is our biological father and it may not even be a person from our family or even a man . . . so this is perfect for any of those scenarios as well as someone who IS your father but also your DAD! ;) It shows our appreciation for them being there for us and showing how much we mean to them. It's a way to pay tribute to them at this time.
I designed this hand lettered print as a free download for a stylized shoot I did with a brand last year but I thought I would share it again since you may have missed it or forgot I had it available for FREE.

So I give you this hand lettered print and enjoy my friends: 'Anyone can be a Father but it takes a Special Person to be a DAD' art print!

You can print it our for FREE as an 8x10 Father's Day print or in a 5x7 Father's Day art print . . . your choice! ;) Please enjoy them as they give your celebration that added 'eye candy'!
