Custom Pet Portrait: Charlie Christopher

Meet Mr. Charlie Christopher, this handsome little devil belongs to the one and only Ami of Elizabeth Anne Designs. Charlie is a regular socialite in chicago, from mingling in the dog park to waggin' wednesday's ( a doggie catered event) to hanging out with his very loving BFFs, mom and dad. Charlie also has a red harness for playing (pictured above) and a regular collar for fashion. Oh Charles, you're so dapper. 

Window Shopping at Two Brunettes: Sugar Chic Identity and Website

Amy of Sugar Chic designs is an amazing client! She came to me a couple weeks ago with what seemed like an impossibility of a project. An identity, a full website, and a shop start to finish with developing in 7 days! Well I love a challenge. I feel like the only reason this project went so smoothly was because Amy was so open minded and loved everything I presented her. Which is always AWESOME. No matter what line of business you're in when your client LOVES something you do its glorious. 

Again, I'm amazed at how talented client after client I have. Loved this project, and the results. I still have some really cool special other projects with Amy going on, so stay tuned!

Holy Busy + 7 months old!

We, as in Clara and I are so busy over here at Two Brunettes! It is insane, and a dream come true all at the same time. I am booked out months in advance, which is a dream all in itself. The illustration orders are flying in, and I am just beyond excited for all the love and support over the new website. With that said, my blog has been so neglected it is not even funny! I am going to try to be better at the updates. Between work and how friggen fast my daughter is growing up, I am having a hard time keeping up with the blog! I would love to say she is filling my papers, helping me organize my finances and choosing which color palettes to implement next, however it is double duty as all you Mommas know. We are crawling everywhere, eating lots of fun foods, and busier than ever! Toys who needs them when you can get into everything else. Love her so much, and thankful I work from home and don't miss a beat of her life! She is over 7 months old, what the heck.

Custom Portrait Double Birthday Party Stickers

I was just sent these photos and squealed. These are thank you favor stickers I created with the Birthday girls custom drawn portraits on them.  It was a 1st and 3rd dual summer birthday bash, with kids and adults, so both the parents and kiddies got to enjoy favors. I love how they turned out!
