We were featured in Etsy’s Art Collectors Gift Guide. The Art Collectors Gift Guide is a list of artwork that is curated by Etsy’s staff. Our Underwater print (top left in above picture) from the Environment Series was the lucky pick. We’ve had our eye on the guide for a while, like a kid looking in the window of a candy store. Once we got in, the print sold quickly! Get yours here.

Thank you Etsy!

Today we were the featured studio PoppyTalk highlighted in their efforts to show artist/designer/crafter’s studios from around the world. This is a continuation of an ongoing series they’ve created. One I enjoy immensely! Everyone enjoys the benefit of a designer’s finished piece, but it’s truly a treat to get a peek behind the scenes and see where the magic takes place. These are the questions each designer is asked:

1) Where in your home/apartment is your studio located?
2) What equipment/tools do you use?
3) Do you have an inspiration board, and can you tell us what is inspiring you now?
4) How do you create best (e.g. do you listen to music while you create and if so what?)
5) List (3) of your favorite artists
6) If yours isn’t, what would be your perfect studio?

Make your way over to their blog for the answers to these questions and see other artist/designer/crafter’s studio space.

Thank you PoppyTalk! It’s been fun.
