Paper Loop cards featured in the New Product Display!

Great news! We’ve just heard that Paper Loop’s ‘Garden Set’ will be featured at the National Stationery Show in their New Product Display. Our set will be judged among others for the Best New Product Award. We are really excited for the show and look forward to seeing what other people are up to. We can’t wait to meet potential new buyers and other greeting card professionals. We’re honored to be selected for this display. We can’t believe there are only 11 days until the show! We’re almost there. Yippee!

Also, check out the new Paper Loop website. I’ve updated it for a super simple look with everything very easy to navigate. You can check out all the new cards we will be displaying at the show!

Super Fun Illustration Assignment for Cincinnati Magazine

Here is an illustration I recently did for Cincinnati Magazine. I had a ton of fun working on this one. It's a portrait of Nikki Giovanni, an influential poet currently teaching at Virginia Tech. Nikki spoke out after the Virginia Tech tragedy and has touched many lives with her simple yet bold & firety poetry. I wanted to capture her bold, poetic style in this illustration with strong colors and bold lettering. This illustration recently appeared in April's issue of Cincinnati Magazine.
