Foodietoos Aprons are Now in The Nancydraws Shop
If you like to cook with a sense of humor, then check out my Foodietoo temporary tattoo designs applied to kitchen aprons. I am testing out this new product idea since the images in their original form were such a hit with my customers. Now there are three Foodietoos-themed aprons available in The Nancydraws Shop:…

I’ve gotten more done on the Hand lettering class project and I’m still experimenting with the background:

A drawing evolves
I began an online class assignment in 2014 on the subject of hand-lettering a quote. It’s a good thing that the class is “work at your own pace;” I have been itching to get back to it and have a new sketch to show for it! This is the central image, I will be adding…

2015 Approaches!
The sun is setting on another year and I have been thinking about goals, both old and new. It’s important for me to remember to celebrate accomplishments first, before moving too far into the goal-setting stage.

Percival has been featured on many of my Christmas greeting cards, as well as my first Hannukah design for 2012. He loves…

Restaurant Drawings
From 2003, through 2010, I was a regular contributor for The Park Slope Reader and New York Spirit‘s restaurant reviews. I really enjoyed being able to check out new restaurants and know about what’s happening in that world and around my community. An infrequent side-benefit was a free appetizer or beverage from a gracious manager or…

“Love, New York”
Over the summer of 2013, I decided to take a break from my usual digital collage style and focus on drawing, which is how all of my creative projects begin. I needed to look no further than my daily voyages around my home town of New York City for new subject matter. There always seems…

Funny Story
Happy Hanukkah Noodles with Percival Last week I received a special order for my Hanukkah card, “Percival’s Noodles,” via The Nancydraws Shop on Etsy. The customer wanted 12 of them, saying that they were perfect for her Chinese-Jewish family! I definitely hadn’t had this scenerio in mind when I created the card, but that’s one…
