		<title>Indie Craft Bazaar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a fabulous time at the Indie Craft Bazaar this Sunday&#8211; 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&#8217;s always good to keep on our toes, right? Here&#8217;s a look at a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illustration Friday: Diary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used this week&#8217;s Illustration Friday theme to work on the areas I feel I am lacking in. I wanted to create a piece that looked like it could be a spot in an article about about thoughts or dreams, as I have almost no editorial-style art in my portfolio. I did it digitally, because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t forget your scanner!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I was preparing all my products for my Etsy and online shops, the photography was the most stressful part due to how mind-numbingly ignorant I am about the whole process. I bought a light tent (after going through 3 or 4 made of cardboard and tissue paper), read a bunch of forums, and finally [...]]]></description>

		<title>Overnightprints.com for small print jobs, a review and coupons!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are plenty of good print companies to use when you need a large order of business cards/postcards and things, but it&#8217;s really tough to find a great deal when you only need a small print job done. As illustrators starting out, our mailing lists rarely reach the thousands, and all those extra postcards just [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Storytime&#8221; featured on literacyhead</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The illustration &#8220;Storytime&#8221; has been included in this week&#8217;s literacyhead article, Write stARTs. Since this piece was originally created to inspire kids to read, I&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Etsy Craft Party and SuperCon 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday was a nerdy delight as Matt and I attended both the SuperCon and an Etsy Craft Party to celebrate the Etsy anniversary. The highlight of SuperCon for me was definitely meeting the guy who voiced Lion-O on Thundercats&#8211; considering Thundercats is the coolest show ever! Later that night, we had a great time at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Illustration Friday: Trail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[UPDATE: Thank you for the Illustration Friday feature! I&#8217;m honored! I&#8217;ve been working on a commission for a young kid&#8217;s room and I thought it would fit perfectly with this week&#8217;s Illustration Friday. The lion is playing a song which all the other animals are enjoying. A pretty innocent piece, for once]]></description>

		<title>Painting over Printed Lineart &#8211; A Test</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inking watercolor illustrations has always been a frustrating experience for me, since I use textured paper and the pens invariably get stuck in every nook and cranny or else wobble over all the bumpy bits, making it look like I was drawing while hopped up on Pixy Stix&#8230; or worse (Jumbo Pixy Stix). One of [...]]]></description>
