Spring Floral (Work in Progress)

February 2, 2016

WIP shot of a new illustration that I hope to share in a day or two. Inspired by a walk early this week I spied a little yellow flower peaking through the frosty ground. With it blossomed thoughts of spring and gardening, and a new sketch.

This illustrator is now thinking thoughts of spring and looking for that first robin of the new year.

Groundhogs Make the Best Weather Forecasters

February 2, 2016

Happy Groundhog day!  365 days ago I found myself sketching a groundhog in my notebook on my way to the library, and thus was born Diggery. 

I have always enjoyed this sweet little holiday! And today I am extending my warmest thanks to Punxsutawney Phil for delivering the good news of an early spring this morning!

Happy trails winter!
