AlaskaHumpbacks.org


Just got word from my Sitka friend Raptor Jen that the whale illustrations I created for AlaskaHumpbacks.org are up. Make sure to visit this site to see all the wonderful work these people are doing for the Humpback species. Great job on the website Jen!

"Cooking for the Birds"

I recently completed a bird line art illustration project for Adventure Publications. These works will be displayed in a kids recipe book titled "Cooking for the Birds." It's a great way for children to create health, fun and appealing snacks for their fine feathered friends. I'll definitely be trying out some of these recipes!

Big Dot.

Thought it would be worth mentioning that I started a new job in December. The company I work for is called the Big Dot of Happiness and is conveniently based right here in Menomonie, Wisconsin.

Big Dot is an “Event Party Company" specializing in baby showers, bridal showers, wedding showers, bachelorette parties and birthday parties. They also create various games, invitations and themed party supply products. The owners are a husband and wife team that started their business from their own basement. The company grew since then and hasn’t stopped growing. Big Dot products have even shown up in the media, on shows such as Brothers and Sisters and have been seen in Peoples Magazine.

I’m currently working as a Designer in the print shop area of the company. I make sure custom invites are exactly the way the customer ordered. This includes working with type, color and controlling the printers and other gadgets in the print area.

Each day at Big Dot is never like the next. New and challenging tasks are always presenting themselves keeping me on my toes. This job is much different than my last position held in Sitka!
