Dave Devries and the Monster Engine

Good Tuesday Morning!

I had to share what I came across the other day and I hope you think it is as cool as I do.

Dave Devries is an author and artist and he did an amazing project called the Monster Engine.

What he did was take drawings done by kids and take their structure and idea and draw what they would like like if these simple drawings were done realistically.

The drawings totally captured my heart.  They are quirky, scary, funny, and completely original.

How awesome are these?  Definitely check out the website The Monster Engine.  It talks about the whole project and has more examples!

Lots of Love,

Jess

New print on LoveUPaperly: Don't Forget To Be Awesome Today

Hi Gorgeous People!

I have been working hard on new items for LoveUPaperly.

This print will be up for sale later today!

It measures 8.5 by 11 inches. I used different stamps with archival inks to make patterns in yellow green, and pink. The words are stamped in navy blue saying "Don't Forget to be Awesome Today".  I then drew a whimsical picture of a girl flying over a charming town holding balloons.  The drawing is ink and watercolor drawn over the inks used for stamping.  The print is sprayed with acrylic sealer to ensure a long lasting piece of art!

I think this is a good reminder of what to do everyday and the print is selling for only $7.50!

Hope you guys like!  More to come in a few days.

Lot's of Love,

Jess
