Now Available! My Capsule Collection at The Bay


My capsule collection at the Bay is now available in all 90 stores of the Bay. 
It consists of: 4 canapé plates, a garden themed tea towel, a butterfly mug, floral oven mitts and a matching apron - all united in a very springy palette of juicy oranges purples + lime green.


Here's a close up of the canapé plates, butterfly mug and tea towel from the Queen St display.

FYI The yellow bird is based on my canary Lord Percy and after creating so many drawings of my furniture and shoes... Percy is thrilled to be (finally!) featured in my work. :-)

The Production team at the Bay headed by Pinakin Mistry did a great job on the packaging of the collection. I particularly like the adorable round box for the canapé plates.
Thanks also to the talented Jenna Russelle of PRNT for helping me with the floral repeat.

Here's another shot from Queen St store display.

And Great News: The Bay very generously donated two complete sets of the collection for a Give Away! Tune in tomorrow for a chance to win an item from my collection! 

Covet Garden


The latest issue of covet garden is out with cover illustrated by me.
What's more exciting is that the issue features the happy home of my wonderful massage therapist Michelle Yee of Soft Mechanic and her fella Glen.
Here's a pic of Michelle's massage room with my Room of One's Own print on the wall.
I just love getting under that moose blanket! One of my favourite places to be.

Thanks to the fabulous Lynda Felton + Jessica Reid of Covet Garden for the gig. xx

Illustrations for the LCBO

Not too much blogging going on here as I've had my head down for a full month working on a new project for the LCBO in conjunction with Blammo Ad agency.
Last year I created illustrations for 3 videos for LCBO and I'm now working on 4 more.

This is the full version of an illo which was created for a LCBO video titled " How to shop for Wine".
In the final edit the client chose to crop out the light and part of the heads.
You can watch the video here.
This is a rejected sketch. I like her big chunky necklace + glasses and think she looks like she works as an art gallery curator. I've named her Miriam! :-)
