The Sketch Book

xoxo

So you’ve probably already seen these, but if you are not on my email list or a facebook fan or a twitter follower (shameless self-promotion! yipee!) then you might have missed them. So here they are:

two new cards! this one is called “be mine!

and yes, it is a valentine. I contemplated the text for a long while before settling on “be mine!” because i thought the sunglasses/trenchcoat and sneaky pose combo sort of suggested a secret admirer/someone in disguise. so i really wanted the cards to say “happy valentines day from your stalker” but my mom told me that was too creepy, oh well. my humor is just too evolved i guess, the world isn’t ready.

and this one, Berry Kiss, is the other newest arrival!

and this one is wearing many hats – it could be a subtle valentine or just stationery, you chose!

  • Is it possible to get these blank inside?
    I’d love to send them to my girlfriends, but “Be Mine” isn’t the sort of thing we’d send each other.

  • Omg I want this coat does it exist?
    And yeah Inslee I need your help in this project I’m doing, what type of papers, brushes, colors and scanners do you use?

    • I made it up, but I once had a shirt dress made by DVF that was this color and cut almost exactly – loved it! And my materials – I use all sorts of paper and brushes – I tend to jump around and try new things and I’m still trying to figure out whats my favorite. My scanner is just a little old Lexmark home office scanner, but I’m dreaming of a big fancy one someday. You know your getting old and serious when you pine over scanners.

  • lol…I still like Happy Valentines Day from your stalker!

    • haha! glad you appreciate my weird humor!

      • Haha! Are you kidding? I’m always cracking up at what you write…totally my humor! I do love this though, ditto what Janeen said and I love her pink cheeks! You can never go wrong with a trench and big black shades!

  • Such a talented lady you are… love this illustration xoxo. The fuchsia trench tied in a simple bow, the Valentine sealed with a crimson heart and the hint of berry on her lips – so feminine and alluring, so Valentine’s… J’adore ‘Be Mine’ ~

    • thank you! i should get you to write my descriptions of my note cards… i always struggle with describing each girl, but you have a way with words!

  • I love the new cards! They are perfect for Valentine’s Day.
    I just found out about your work, and you are now my fashion icon! You are so, so talented, and I have loved reading your blog. Thank you for the amazing work you do!
