As a retired lettering artist and illustrator, I still create a lot of visuals and have fun doing it. My website is a place I can post and share them from my Shoreline, Washington studio in my home.

Egg and Chick Invitation Set with Thank You Card

November 23, 2025

Did I need a deep plunge into a new blog site, right when such a time-consuming challenge really didn’t fit into my crowded calendar? The answer, no surprise, is “no” but at least I was able to navigate the mind-befuddling process of transferring the data from my old platform to this new, AI-enhanced version of good ol’ WordPress. My previous experience of working on good ol’ WordPress wasn’t stellar, so I’m hoping to improve my relationship with it asap. So far I have been able to upload my seasonally appropriate squash painting! But now, HOW do I get rid of “Hello World!” which was placed there by Good Ol. I’m not sure about this, but I think Good Ol’s default tips will stay on this, my First Post until I figure out how to discretely remove them without being told “This is not a good idea.” At least I got my squash up on this new site for your viewing pleasure! Happy Thanksgiving :-).

Babyset

It's springtime, and a baby is soon to be born. Not just any baby. My first grandchild! What a fine time to host a shower, design a set of cards, and use a favorite theme of my family's: birds, eggs and chicks. The watched-egg version of the illustration on the shower invitation is followed by the hatchling rendition for the thank you card. I hand lettered each "thank you" on the cards after working out a casual printed style to complement the line drawing of the illustration. By the way: She's a Girl!
