I have been inspired to create a custom illustration of my friend’s dog. This will make a relatively inexpensive, yet meaningful gift. With her birthday just around the corner, this will be the perfect timing. It’s also a great way to practice Adobe’s new CC app, Fresco for the iPad.

One fun way to improve one’s skill in design is through experimentation. My subject: classic Disney characters, of course!

My darling west highland terrier, Tayen Lace, passed away last Wednesday. I intended to fly back to Michigan to see her one last time in two weeks, but unfortunately she didn’t make it. As tribute, I made a type drawing. May she rest in peace.
