It's Labor Day today! Woo! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the sun and sweet watermelon. Today, I'm lettering save the dates for a #MichiganBride. It may be Monday, and a holiday, but this is what I love doing. I love working on different variations and making a beautiful save the date & invitation that someone might always remember. I'm looking forward to working with more #brides! The remainder of my day will be spent on this, scheduling meetings, designing, and making sure I'm doing the best that I can possibly do. Thank you to the @risingtidesociety for being a consistent source of community and inspiration. It's an incredible group of people and I'm thankful to be apart of it. 😘 #makewavesmonday #justcuriousco #lettering #weddingday #savethedate #designer #bride #invitation #monday #laborday

Pets : Doodle Challenge #2 @_jeremyrivers and I teamed up again, or challenged each other, to another doodle challenge! This is such a fun way to collaborate with a talented person and push each other! Jeremy chose the topic pets, and after working on mine for an hour, a pattern was forming so I ran with it. Patterns ARE SO FUN. Hope you enjoy! Make sure to go check out Jeremy's piece! He did a delightful illustration of his cat! #illustrator #illustration #pattern #surfacepattern #pets #doodlechallenge #creative #annarbor #ypsilanti #detroit #justcuriousco #staycurious

A friend told me last week about challenges that Minted has, and I decided to dive into an illustration to submit. This is a detail shot of what I created. This entire piece on a whim; I drew a funky tree and loved the shape of it and ran with that style. This was incredibly fun and I'm thrilled to submit it to Minted!! Please take a moment to head over to the link: www.minted.com/design-rating/429913 to vote for my piece! Share it with your friends, vote for it; I really appreciate your support! Thanks guys! Hope you enjoyed this new piece of work. :) it's definitely a new style for me!! #illustrator #illustration #minted #whimsical #aisforart #challenge #stationary #nursery #artprint #designer #butterflys #child #childsfantasy #justcuriousco #staycurious
