Tabby Bear

A long time client of mine, and mother of three, has decided to start a side business, inspired by the growing number of recent toy recalls.

Tabby Bears. They’re cute, they’re cuddly, and they’re 100% safe, machine washable, no small parts, all natural, hand-made and hypo-allergenic. I just started playing around with some ideas for her design and I’m trying to use one of my old illustrations as the “setting” - the Keebler tree, bubbly sun, dancing butterflies… and now… bears. :)

Coming soon… it’s in the works.

Illustration - rainbow girl

 
Waiting…
for my scanner

5% - 10% - 20%…

my mind wanders off
around 27%

What started as a
post-it note doodle…

turned into a
rainbow vacation.

more flowers!

so then… after falling in love with the falling flowers, she asked if she could have that as her screensaver. I’d never made a screensaver before, so immediately, my curiosity was piqued. After a little research, and using yet another “falling snow” script as a template, I whipped up a falling flower screensaver to match her site.

You can download it here… I only made it to fit her 1024×768 screen size, so love it or leave it. ;) Perhaps, one day, I’ll find time to make some Phonobot screensavers!

Note: It only works on PC for now…

flowers, flowers, everywhere!!!

What a fun and relaxing project! A client, who has become a wonderful friend over the past several months, asked me to design a splash page for her tantra/ayurveda/chai studio in Portland, OR. I’ve heard her make reference to giving offerings to “Ma” - her guru - often in the form of flowers. Immediately, I thought how cool it would be to have animated flowers falling over the page. After much tinkering with the script to make the flow more natural and random, I finally got the effect… it’s so pretty! Check it out…
