Assignment Bootcamp: March

This month's bootcamp assignment was to create a fabric design inspired by jelly molds. I wanted to try doing something loose & doodle-y, and this is what I came up with. Food prepared by mice & meerkats? Why not? Yum!

Assignment Bootcamp

I'm taking part in Lilla Rogers's online Assignment Bootcamp, and I wanted to share my first project. For February, we had to design a cuckoo clock-themed cell phone cover.

The bootcamp is a great way to build your portfolio with monthly assignments (and deadlines!), and to be part of a nice community of other illustrators & designers. It's so fun to see all the different interpretations of the theme.

Can't wait to see what's in store for next month!

Make Art That Sells Course

This fall I decided to take a leap & enroll in Lilla Rogers's intensive e-course, Make Art That Sells (part B). It was five weeks of in-depth learning about the paper, children's apparel, scrapbooking, editorial, and party paper industries. Lilla gave us tons of information about each area, and every assignment helped me to stretch beyond what I've been able to do on my own. I loved it & I hope to take another class next year!

Here are a few of my projects:
