Otterly Incredible Game & IF's - Adrift
Fridayness
 I was feeling inspired yesterday and created this fun illustration. My SIL has a collection of cobalt blue dishes and vases. My brother and SIL live in tropical weather and love to fish and also collect decor with a tropical feel to it. For a larger image visit here. The photos may take a moment to load, then just mouse over the top left thumbnail. Have an awesome Friday!

New, New New!
 I am currently working on a user-friendly viewing version in Firefox. Thanks Hanna for your feedback! Updated version coming soon so please check back later.A NEW website, A NEW YEAR! What a great way to start the new year. I know it has been a while since I last posted; I've been busy working on my new website and planning new work projects which will be posted here and on the website when completed. Let me know what you think, I appreciate the feed back. Labels: "illustration", designerm, new website
Almost Finished
 I'm currently working on a CD cover for a band. I've included a "slice" of the illustration. I thought I was finished but have decided to make some changes to the composition as the effect was not really what I was looking for. I'll post the final work when I've completed the changes. Most likely this slice will also change. I really enjoy creating CD covers. A while back I did a remake of Madonna's "Confessions on the Dance Floor" which you can see here.

Creative Meeting
 While in a business meeting offsite I noticed the decorating style of the room I was in and fell in love with the wall lighting fixtures and thought they would be perfect in one of the new rooms in our home so I quickly did a sketch on the hotel's signature paper they supplied for the meeting. Don't you just love it? And I have the perfect spot for it. Ok, so your thinking I should have been paying more attention in the meeting? I was! I actually have created some of my best illustrations while watching a movie or listening to a program or music. It's part of my multi-tasking personality. And, the CEO was watching me sketch and seemed to like the sketch too when I showed it to him. Labels: "illustration", "lighting fixture", "pen and ink", business, meeting, sketch
IF's ~ "Stitch"
 Dance with me at the "Stitch In Time Valentines Day Ball." For Illustration Friday's "stitch" word of the week. I'm not sure if I will be able to finish it by Friday so I am posting the work in progress.

It's Party Time!
 Kari at Artsy Mama's is having an Artful Blogging party in celebration of Stampington's new Artful Blogging magazine. I'm joining Kari's party with an illustration created in my own vintage-modern style. I always love a good party and hope you'll join in the fun too! Mind if this fellow joins the party to help serve up the cake and treats~we ladies need to be pampered don't we? And for all those who have a birthday this month, Happy Birthday to you! If you'd like to see more of my work visit my Flickr account. Today I opened the most incredible package from the "Queen of Treasures", my Mom. I haven't even had a chance to photograph everything but I can tell you I was just squealing with delight. Vintage, antique, heirloom, you name it! Thank you so much Mom, I can hardly wait to start working with everything. In the bottom of the box was a beautiful white cotton chenille George Washington bedspread. I've already put it on the bed and it looks simply gorgeous! Labels: "artful blogging", "illustration", Maggie Summers, style, vintage

Tonight's game was otterly incredible, with the Saints winning the 2010 Super Bowl. The Colts were leading until the second half of the game and they unfortunately became dinner for the Saints. Smells fishy to me...
