Just uploaded this new card to Folksy, Etsy and also my website.
It's a portrait of sorts of my Wire Fox Terrier, Jackson, and it was produced using my gocco printer. I like the rough and ready feel to the illustration and the keen eyed will spot that I'm using Cocktail Script, one of my favourite fonts again.
The idea for the design came when Jackson sneaked into our bedroom for the umpteenth time. He knows he's not allowed in there, but he should win some sort of award for persistence. Anyway, I caught him curled up on my pillow (yes, it's always my pillow) and it was such a lovely photo opportunity that I took several pictures before shooing him off.
This one was my favourite and so for the card I simply copied his position but changed the location to his red dog bed.It's the first time I've used Jackson himself as a study for a card although of course he's the general inspiration behind all of them. Let's hope it doesn't go to his head. He'll be signing pawtographs next...

Too bad Jackson isn't allowed inta yer bedroom...why we all sleep in the bedroom and feel that the bed is as much ours as it is Gram 'n Pap's....glad Jackson got to enjoy a little luxury...he deserves it after all he's been through this past year...

oh thank you for your compliment on my new layout. it's still a work in progress but i put those little buttons on the right hand side last night to link to my facebook, ebay, etsy, etc. hope it brings me more business.
and yeah. i hope ebay works for us too. we're only 2 weeks in and selling more frequently for about ten dollars less per item. hard to tell right now if it's worth it.
love your blog as usual!
