Just waitin for the main event, now.

When you’re not even born yet, so you don’t even follow any design influencers or have a Pinterest account, but you get the nicest room in the house.

There’s always at least one... so someone may as well get credit for it, right?

Finally got to send this card this week and did a happy dance- @paperepiphanies and I worked hard on iterating her facial expression and body language to make this card “work.” Between her cheeky wink and the hiding of the small gift (and sure, the bows on her shoes because WHY NOT) we were really happy with the final result.

All #jrocroxpe cards always available at PaperEpiphanies dot com! Or chat up your local stationery shop and be like hey, I need to send THIS CARD, SPECIFICALLY so please get some! 💌🎀🎁

In an age-old race against the biological clock: trying to wrap up work projects before The Child decides to make its grand debut and I don’t see my art supplies for a few months. 🙃

Friday’s a good day for a ✨giveaway🌈 right?!
Thanks for all the love and support and positive feedback on my last post! Let’s continue to boost each other- tag a friend below (as many as you want!) who have given you a boost lately.
I’ll select a random winner in 24 hrs and send you and your tagged pal each a handful of cards from the @paperepiphanies #jrocroxpe collaboration!

😎
Can I be honest and say this is the best I’ve ever felt in a bikini?

I say this not for other pregnant people to roll their eyes and be like “OK SURE” but I’ve been learning so much from reading, and from the great birth class we’re taking, about reframing pregnancy and labor and the power and wisdom inherent in our bodies that is at odds with so much American pregnancy culture.

It’s normal to goad women into complaining (“This summer heat huh? Bet it’s hard to sleep right?”) for movies and tv to depict women screaming and panicking in labor, for us to rehash birth horror stories, to hear women say they feel like “a house” or “a cow” or some other large unflattering comparison to a vessel. And everyone is unique of course! And entitled to their experiences! Those are all valid ways to cope with changing bodies and hormones and impending life shifts and bowling ball sized babies.

But as someone who does have some trauma surrounding pregnancy and birth even I want you to know it *can sometimes be easy and positive* and that message is worth sharing too!

Many of us work with positive visualization and manifesting good things when it comes to other life goals like careers, partnerships, success- so why settle for believing this miraculous process should be only painful, stressful, damaging, and scary?

While at this pool with friends, including another pregnant friend in a swimsuit in her 3rd trimester, a woman swam up to the edge, and said, “I’m so sorry to interrupt- I just have to say I am loving the glorious pregnant bellies! I just had to say something!” which I thought was very cute and I appreciated.

Admittedly I designed this card for the @paperepiphanies collaboration so I could personally send it regularly. Even for a lady like me who always has stamps on hand, it’s hard to get these darn things out the door sometimes!

All cards are always available for purchase at PaperEpiphanies dot com, or chat with your favorite local stationery shop and ask them to carry the line! 💌

I already sent this to like a hundred of you, so, sorry for the double freakout, but this is a poster I was commissioned to design as a gift for @chelseahandler from @thewellmonttheater for her sold-out show on her “Life Will Be the Death of Me” tour last night, and it ended up in her Instagram story and I got emotional!?🍊 This is the sixth time @safebydaylight has thrown me a poster gig and the first time that I didn’t have time to execute her great art direction- I just had this image in my head and had to chase it.

I haven’t attempted this style of lettering in a few years and worked on that portion for two full days - it could still use work, but I’ve been inspired by Ryan @hamrick and his setting the bar for this cartouche style lettering since I switched careers in 2014 and it was fun to finally feel like I “get it” a bit.

Working for myself these past 5 1/2 years has been alternately wildly challenging and exciting and disheartening- I’ve always felt insecure about my lack of formal design training, never really known how to measure my success or growth, but this felt like another solid milestone for some reason. Not because of the celebrity association but that it’s a document of proof that I can finally use the Adobe Suite competently 😂 and that I have learned to follow some inner artistic instincts.

Thanks especially to all of you who hired me in the early days when I didn’t deserve your business. You’ve helped me go after happiness like it’s the only thing I can take with me when I die.🍊

I got paid to draw a butt!

Tag your woo-wooiest friend — or just send them this card for their birthday.

Unrelated: this baby is due on a full moon 🌝 Does this mean anything!?! Does it fulfill any ancient prophecy or portend the birth of a werewolf or anything cool?
