First I want to say a special thank you to Nathalie, an Italian living in Ireland (also in search of her creative calling, with a great eye for design I might add), who posted a recent interview with me over at her design blog, called design undercover.

Also in Ireland, Paul O’Mahony who did an interview with me last year asked me to spread the word of the recently launched Irish Arts Blog. The blog is written by a select group of artisans from all over Ireland. Paul has been so influential in the Irish crafting community, encouraging Irish artisans to start using the internet as a way of showcasing their work and connecting with the world. Congratulations Paul, and the artists of Irish Arts Blog on gaining momentum in the blogging world!

And last but not least, in honor of Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I posted some Valentine wishes over at Etsy over the weekend. These are a few pieces of my earlier work, when I focused more on color and design and my characters had not been realized yet.
