welcome.

welcome, 2012. i'm ready for you! i'm crossing my fingers it will be a productive year. i have so many ideas that must eventually come to fruition, right? i've decided to start really creating, and have even come up with a brand name. hooray! i am extremely indecisive, so this was a big deal for me. hopefully you'll see more to come VERY soon.

for today, i'm just trying to be inspired. let's talk about how CUTE this shirt design over at Spotted Moth is!



and then can we talk about my friend Kristen who is incredibly talented over at homeseed? she actually has a free printable 2012 calendar up! hurry over!



cheers!

it's a good thing i'm so consistent.

well, again, it's a good thing i've been so consistent lately! oops! i've been in sort of a funk, and i think it's because i've been having a hard time really putting my heart into one good thing. SO, i've decided to finally do something i've been meaning to do for ages. open up an etsy account. i have too many card ideas not to put them out into the world. so i'm going for it. & right now while i'm in colorado i'm putting together a lot of ideas. one of them being a set of critter cards. you'll see what i mean soon enough. in the mean time, i'm not sure if i want to stick with OK kid being my brand name, or if i want to go for something new. branding seems like a whole lot of pressure. don't you think?

crank up the jams.

okay, i'm doing it. my boyfriend is in a band. they are called Phantods. and well, they're good!

monday design.

instagram photo of a new typewriter design! hoping to make a cute little series.

every year's a big year.

i've seen on a few blogs recently this idea of intentional goal-setting. so this weekend i'm working on my 26 before 27. what do you want to achieve before your next year?

whoot!

tunesday.

i love midlake. i saw them live last year at the wexner center here in columbus, and was so blown away. and for me, it's sort of a fall & winter thing. enjoy!

design isn't always necessary.

but then again, sometimes it most certainly is. especially when you live with a boy.

monday design.

it's past midnight, so it's monday! here is a little something i did in honor of all of my cute friends growing mustaches (or you know, moustaches). happy movember! i'll have to get something going for "novembeard" too!

happy local business day!

i am so excited that today is local business day (small business day). it's really neat to see people investing in their own communities, and in genuine people. it's way more fun and meaningful! don't you think?

check out my favorite local shop here in columbus, ohio. tigertree! visit them @ Tigertree online!

two pinwheels are better than one.

i've been sifting through color schemes in illustrator for a while now. there are so many to choose from! how will i ever remember it all? in the mean time i'll just make cute pinwheels.

design a little late.

i'm sorry i didn't post anything for monday design. i have no idea if a. anyone actually reads this blog so i don't feel totally accountable and b. the few things i wanted to post, i don't think are totally finished, so you (if you exist) will have to wait! but! not all is lost. i did decide to make a little pinwheel. i am inspired by the little things, pinwheels being one of them!

happy thanksgiving.

ah yes, happy thanksgiving! i don't know about you, but i'm full of sweet potatoes and other delights. thanksgiving is actually a wonderful day to be a vegetarian. but, i thought i'd introduce you to a little boy who claims, "bacon is good for me!" it makes me laugh so much. i can't stand it! enjoy!

holiday cheer.

who says you have to use red & green to celebrate the holidays? i'm throwing some pink into the mix this year! and dotting my i's with hearts whenever possible.
