Indie Craft Bazaar

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

I had a fabulous time at the Indie Craft Bazaar this Sunday– there were so many talented vendors and just cool people in general! Granted, there was a flash monsoon of The Great Flood proportions smack in the middle, but it’s always good to keep on our toes, right? Here’s a look at a few of the nifty vendors there, and my display. (I got these top photos on Facebook thanks to rachellovespeace.etsy.com, as we didn’t take nearly enough photos ourselves…)

“Storytime” featured on literacyhead

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

The illustration “Storytime” has been included in this week’s literacyhead article, Write stARTs. Since this piece was originally created to inspire kids to read, I’m super excited that it can get some further use helping students learn and think about art! Literacyhead is a great online magazine for educators to work with students teaching literacy through art. Take a look!

Jadefrolics Twitter Giveaway!

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

UPDATE: We have a winner! Congratultions to @awildtonic! You have 24 hours to respond before choosing another winner. Thanks everyone who entered– it was an awesome success!


“A Giveaway?! I may poop myself!” is a totally understandable reaction to the first ever Jadefrolics Twitter Giveaway. Especially when the prize involves poop. To celebrate the launch of shop jadefrolics, someone’s going to win something awesome!

From now until Saturday, May 15th as 11:59 PM EST, you can enter to win this signed, matted Giclee print of my illustration “Abstinence is Key.” In this deliciously disturbing piece, Momma cat is having fun poopin’ out the babies. Little does she know that the vet is on the way with a scalpel…

Here’s how to enter:

1. Follow me on Twitter (jadefrolics).
2. Post this message:

Win a weird and wonderful signed cat print illustrated by @jadefrolics! Follow and RT to enter! Info: http://bit.ly/bEoQbw

(Note: Click the tweet to automatically enter it into Twitter.)

catbaby2 Jadefrolics Twitter Giveaway!

This 8×10 piece is printed on 260gsm 100% cotton watercolor paper, signed, stamped, and matted to 11×14. As an added bonus, I’ve included some hand-drawn kitty sketches around the borders, bringing the value up from $40.00 to priceless! (or about $60.00)

Boring rules:

Only one Retweet will be counted per person. I don’t want to turn Twitter into a spam-fest, and this keeps things fair. Please don’t create new accounts to enter!

And finally: The winner has 24 hours to respond. After that, I’ll pick someone else!

OK. Start poopin’!abs contest 2 Jadefrolics Twitter Giveaway!

Pikaland’s Good to Know Zine

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

1828 Pikalands Good to Know Zine

I am excited to be one of the artists featured in the Good to Know Zine’s #6 issue at Pikaland! The Good to Know Zine at Pikaland.com is an awesome collection of thoughts and advice from illustrators based on a theme for that particular issue. This issue’s question was about jealousy:

Do you get jealous/envious when you view other people’s work? Does it make you a better artist? How do you get over it?

You can purchase the zine via PDF or get a physical copy, and if you’re interested you can answer issue #7′s question!

Check it out Here!
