Preemie Signs featuring The Seacats

How cute is this? I decided I need to add to my Seacats line, so I added these preemie signs to my online store recently!

And if you need it in pink, no problem! = )

I am working on a new Seacats book, but with my novels and a commissioned book coming up, my pace is kind of slow. I will let you know as I progress, though!

Thanks for dropping by!

New Baby Signs (and Other News)

Sorry it's been so long, I've been so very busy since my last post.

I have some exciting news coming about a new Seacats book! Until then, here is my latest Seacats car seat sign, Seacat Hugs. Too cute! = )

Buy one (or a few) on Etsy, Amazon, and on my website.

Still Evolving

For those who don't know, I started drawing Seacats when I was nine. They are over 20 years old, and I'm um ... barely any older.

I drew Seacats on everything. I drew them in grade school. I drew them in middle school, I drew them in high school. I drew them in class, I drew them in journals, I drew them in year books, I drew them on my hands. And other kids were still so impressed they asked if I drew or traced them.

Yeah, I used a pencil to trace this onto my hand. Okay....

I lied, I don't usually draw with a pencil. Ink, baby, ink.

Luckily, as an adult I'm never asked that silly question. Like I can imagine some art director for XYZ Publishers calling me up — "Hi, is this Chrissy? I'm looking for an artist and I saw your portfolio online. Did you really draw that, or did you trace it?"

Yeah, that would never happen. At least, it hasn't, after nearly a decade in business.

Anyway. I drew them. I painted them. I etched them. I watercolored them. My dad still has a room full of my old Seacat stuff.

They look really different now. More professional for sure. But they're still the same, really.

I'm working on some new Seacat projects. I thought I'd share some line art here. I'm trying to get Izzy Bell to complement Timmy just a bit more. Very minor changes, but they're still there. They're pretty close, but still evolving. You can see their evolution here and follow them on Facebook here.

GO AWAY Signs

Yes, you read that right! It's a Seacats Tattle GO AWAY Novelty Front Door Sign with attitude! It tells people you're not accepting visitors. As a total hermit (I live out in Middle of Nowhere, Alaska) it should not come as a surprise that I would design this.

It probably shouldn't come as a surprise that I would use this, either. lol

And it does end on a polite note! Always a plus!

So if you know a hermit with a great sense of humor (or maybe simply a hermit), you now have the perfect gift idea! You're welcome.

P.S.: It's currently on sale! Grab it before it's gone!

PROGRESS: New Seacats Website & Blog!

Sorry I haven't been posting as much lately, I've just had so much going on all at once. But I have reached a few of my goals recently. I am happy to announce that after years of it being on the "to-do list", and months of development, I finally got the new Seacats website up! I've created dozens of new designs, put up a shop, created online coloring pages (kid tested - they're loved!) and even created its very own Seacats blog!

I also thought I'd share a work-in-progress. It's not 100% complete yet, but this is one of my Seacats designs, he's a little fantasy critter named Rainy. For all Seacats work, I use what's called a "Seacat palette" which consists of "prehistoric" colors. This way  colors remain consistent from one image to the next. I love color palettes and I'd say that in total I probably have over 30 different palettes I choose from at any given time. And I am always creating more! 

I'll be sure to upload this design when it's completed, to show you how it turns out!

Thanks for dropping by today! If you get a chance, please check out the Seacats site and blog. As always I look forward to any comments you may have. And I hope you enjoy your weekend; the snow's melting in Alaska, mine will be a warm one! =)
