Floral Design Birthday

 For: Lydia
Occasion: her birthday

To help Lydia celebrate her birthday, I made a design that features a square with flowers growing up and down around the message, "Happy Birthday, Lydia!" I hope she has a wonderful birthday and that she and her sweet family get to celebrate her wonderfulness!

Computer Birthday

 For: Alex
Occasion: his birthday

For Alex's birthday card this year, I did an illustration of a desktop computer whose screen reads, "Happy B-Day Alex!" in a bit-y font. My favorite detail of this card is that the monitor is wearing a party hat in a binary print! I hope Alex has a great birthday and gets to play lots of fun games this year!

Taskmaster Birthday

 For: Sioux
Occasion: her birthday

Aunts Sioux and Katy love the epic show Taskmaster, so for Sioux's birthday card, I did an illustration of the show's iconic duo: Greg Davies and Little Alex Horne! The text reads "Have a great birthday. Your time starts now." I am so pleased with how this card turned out and am so psyched for Sioux to have an epic year!

Butterfly Birthday

 For: Jess
Occasion: her birthday

To celebrate Jess's birthday, I drew the sweetest little butterfly getting a lift from a party balloon! I love how whimsical and sweet this card is and hope it helped spread some joy for the big day!

GOAT Birthday

 For: Ankeet
Occasion: his birthday

I love this design! For Ankeet's card, I drew a pretty smug goat wearing sunglasses that reflect a birthday cake. The acronym GOAT stands for Greatest of All Time. Ankeet is basically the GOAT, and I hope he has the greatest birthday ever!

Colorful Birthday

 For: Ceci
Occasion: her birthday

To celebrate Ceci's birthday, I used my brown craft paper to make my colored pencils really pop! Full of florals and leaves and swirls, this card serves such a fun energy. The text reads, "Happy Birthday, Ceci!" I hope she has a day as fun as this card turned out!

D&D Cake Birthday

 For: Adam
Occasion: his birthday

Adam is learning and loving to play D&D in the Curry family's first campaign! To help celebrate his birthday, I drew a lovely birthday cake with seven star candles inside a d20 die. I had so much fun figuring out the perspective on this design (and tons of fun making the D&D sock puppet video, too!). I love my sweet nephew and cannot believe it's been seven years since he joined the team!

Floating Birthday

 For: Christina
Occasion: her birthday

I wanted to wish Castelli some seriously chill vibes for her birthday, so I made this rendition of a gal floating in a pool! I love how this card turned out and how the splotches become water and just a few colors make the figure pop. What a dream this design is -- I hope Castelli has the very best birthday and gets lots of opportunities to chill this year!

Piñata Birthday

 For: Alex
Occasion: his birthday

To celebrate Alex's birthday this year, I drew a brightly colored piñata in the classic...what is it...donkey shape?  Whatever it is, I love how happy and vibrant it is and how well the shading makes it all pop! I miss Alex a bunch and hope he has a great day!

Cat Yarn Birthday

 For: Jess
Occasion: her birthday

For Jess's birthday card this year, I re-featured everyone's favorite three-legged cat Babs! This year, she has gotten tangled up in a yarn skein that has spelled out "happy birthday," as string seems to do in birthday cards! I hope Jess is doing great and looking forward to a fun summer with her little family! 

Berry Mother's Day

For: Mom
Occasion: Mother's Day

For Mother's Day this year, I made my mom a berry-themed card to celebrate! She's the big mama berry with her three little baby berries. I love how happy these berry ladies are hope Mom's garden flourishes this year!

Bubba Birthday

For: Megan
Occasion: her birthday

Megan got a sweet tattoo of a rainbow snake named Bubba, so I did an interpretation of the character for a happy little birthday card! I love its sweet little hat and spunky tongue and shiny eyes. It was so fun having a poetry open mic with Megan on the big day itself! I can't wait to see what incredibleness this next year brings for 'em!
