Interval House Gratitude Report 2012

I love the 2012 Interval House gratitude report!  It was created and designed by the wonderful people at Agents of Good.  Throughout the report, my dollhouse illustration can be found in the photos.

I created this dollhouse illustration for the 2009 gratitude report.  The people at Interval House liked the illustration so much that they bought the framed original.  I'm so glad it continues to be a loved and useful piece of artwork for this Toronto battered woman's shelter.

Interval House Impact Report

Back in December, I worked with the amazing people at Agents of Good (John Lepp and Jen Love) to illustrate an infograph for Interval House woman's shelter.  John and Jen are so wonderful to work with and I think it's their caring, positive energy that make the work produced really great!  I have to say I'm very happy with how this impact report came out.  I love that it's a nice blend of storytelling and numbered facts.

Waitrose Weekend

A month or so ago, I was asked to make a cross section dollhouse style illustration for Waitrose Weekend.  The article was about helpful hints for elderly people who are downsizing their homes.  Moving is such a difficult thing for most people.  I know I hate moving.  It just seems a little overwhelming.  But we all gotta do it now and then, and it feels good to go through stuff and get rid of what you don't need.

Thanks very much Steven Trayler for the great commission!

I've been living in Ontario for so many years now (11 years maybe?), I thought it was high time to create a special, Ontario cottage country dollhouse.  I wanted to include lots of the great local wildlife.  Some highlights include a moose, beavers, coyotes, red wing black birds and black bear.

I was really pleased how it all turned out matted and framed!  It's hard to tell from the photo, but the frame has nice textured bark detailing on it.

Thanks to Jesse, for taking the photo, it's so hard get a good picture of art behind glass.

Brand new, completed dollhouse illustration!

I'm super pleased to present the latest illustration in my ongoing dollhouse series. I posted about this earlier in relation to Alexis & Sam Music Productions. I have now completed the final details of the piece and an 11 x 17 print is now available in my Etsy store.

It was so fun to create this piece. I wanted to add elements to give that old Hollywood feel. I included the creature from the Black Lagoon, the bones of Jaws and Clint Eastwood on the silver screen. And all the little musical instruments were carefully image researched and cut out. You can find an acoustic guitar, tuba, bass clarinet, 2 electric guitars, violin, banjo, cello, trumpet, piano and alto clarinet.

Now what sort of dollhouse to do next?

Fewf! Well this was a big, fun project!

My wonderful and talented friends, Alexis Marsh and Sam Jones, asked me to do a music and film themed dollhouse for her new music production company. The company is based in LA so she wanted an LA themed house. It was fun to do a little image research of California flora and birds (I've included an American Goldfinch, Barn Swallow and Downy Woodpecker). And I managed to cram in 11 musical instruments into the house!
