DIY Christmas Cards
This year I was inspired to create handmade cards for friends and family instead of having one of my designs printed. This meant that …

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. I found myself ignoring that last week, my thoughts focusing only on what I’d like to achieve in 2015.…

Two Holidays, One Card!
This is a great year for the Christmas/Hanukkah card! I had these printed up a couple of years ago and they have been listed in The Nancydraws Shop, but this year Hanukkah and Christmas fall so closely together I am hoping this card gets the attention it deserves. On one side, Adele is trying to…

Foodietoos
I came up with Foodietoos after thinking about how my friends and family really love good food and how that feeling is similar, in a way, to the passion people have about choosing permanent tattoos.

Adele
One of my most beloved characters, Adele came to life after my first trip to Paris in 2001. “Paris Rain” was her very first appearance in my artwork and I’ve created a detailed story for her since then. She’s a travel photographer, based in Montmatre, Paris, has many friends around the world and lives with…

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…
