I hope you've all been well! The other day, I sketched out a sequence of images and decided it might be nice to create a little animated .gif out of it. My youngest thought it might be nice if there was a little music in it, and suggested iMovie. I've not ever created anything in iMovie, but thought, why not? So after a lot of tinkering around and trial and error, here's the result. <br /><br />Wishing you all a very happy April!<br />

A few weeks ago, I got the opportunity to go to New York City for a few days, to attend <a href="http://www.surtex.com/">Surtex</a>, a trade show for artists that create for the surface design industry. My lovely agent, Mary Beth, of <a href="http://www.pinklightstudio.com/">Pink Light Studio</a>, has shown my work there for the last four years, but this year, I got to see it in person and work in the booth one day.<br />
<br />
The added bonus of my trip was that I got to meet, in REAL LIFE, my fellow We Love to Illustrate Studio member, <a href="http://www.julissamora.com/">Julissa Mora</a>! We've known each other online and through phone calls for years, but meeting her in person and getting to stay with her and her husband, at their home in Brooklyn, was so awesome! She is as lovely and fun as I imagined.<br />
<br />
After a bit of a rocky start, (I got a motion sick on the plane across the country, ugh!), we headed to the <a href="http://www.surtex.com/">Surtex</a> show at the <a href="http://www.javitscenter.com/">Javits Center</a>, in Manhattan. I'm so lucky Julissa knew her way around the subway system, without her, I would have been lost!<br />

I learned a lot that day, about what it's like for Mary Beth and her team to do a show like Surtex. They were all very professional, but still had a sense of fun and light heartedness, while working with the clients that came to the booth. Not an easy thing to do! They were very impressive and it was fun to meet some of the clients that have used my work in the past and new ones that I will be working with in the future. </div>

The next day, we went back to show, but this time, we had the day to walk around and see what all the other booths were like. It was incredible seeing all the wonderful work on display and meeting some other artists that I've only known online. My biggest regret is that I failed to take any photos of other booths and the people I met that day! I don't know why, I think I was a bit numb by that point. Brain overload!<br />
<br />
The next morning, Julissa and I spent some more time in the city, walking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Line_(New_York_City)">The High Line</a> and going to the <a href="http://chelseamarket.com/">Chelsea Market</a>. Then, I had a mad dash, crazy car ride to JFK, barely making my flight. Haha!<br />
<br />
I had an awesome time and I sure hope I get the chance to do it again someday. Thanks, NY and Thanks, Julissa! It was so fun!<br />

Hey everyone! Just popping in to say Hi and wish all of you in the US a Happy Easter on Sunday. I used to love hiding candy filled eggs all over the house for my kids to find when they were little. Now that they are all grown up, I just make little vector eggs and share them with you. xoxo NinaWe Love to Illustrate Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14694906042023058933noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913357449408425050.post-44312135683751331122015-04-01T18:27:00.001-04:002015-04-01T18:29:10.952-04:00Welcome April!

Hi Everyone, it's Shirley...I
hope everyone's having a good holiday season so far! It gets pretty
hectic and busy at this time, but I am trying my best to enjoy each day
we have of the rest of this year. We've had some sadness recently, and
our hearts go out to those who are going through this difficult time. As
I write this, I am mindful of taking the time to reflect upon all of
the blessings I get to enjoy each day. I'm hopeful we all have time to
stop and lend a hand, be patient and compassionate with our fellow human
beings and animals, too.<br />
Here's to a peaceful and
healthy rest of the year, and New Year to come to you and yours! Thanks
to my dear fellow blogmates, Julissa, Jennifer, Cally, Nina, and
Bee...you all are fantastic and I am so privileged to be a part of this
wonderful place. Happy holidays to you all! xo Shirley <br /><div style="text-align: center;">

It's that time of year again - for all things Merry and Bright! We are celebrating December with some free printables from all of us at We Love to Illustrate. This week's post features some fun gifts tags to dress up your holiday packages, from studio member, Nina Seven.<br />
She used a traditional red, white and green color palette, but added in kraft paper for a fresh, modern element. These would look great tied with red and white baker's twine! Are you getting in the holiday spirit yet? We are!We Love to Illustrate Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14694906042023058933noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913357449408425050.post-15879460789609372582014-11-11T03:00:00.001-05:002014-11-11T03:04:08.648-05:00"Gettin' ready for Thanksgiving!" - by Shirley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Wow, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, the leaves have turned and are continuing to swiftly fall..we're nearing Thanksgiving! Do you remember making these as a little one? I remember having a great time tracing my hand, or a friend tracing my hand, to create those paper turkeys. I love that this activity is so easy to do, and so fun for everyone, and it spans the generations! Here's to a wonderful rest of the week enjoying warm cups of cocoa, tea, or coffee, and maybe you'll get some time in the kitchen to bake a loaf of banana or pumpkin bread. Sounds pretty yummy to me! ~ ShirleyWe Love to Illustrate Studiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14694906042023058933noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3913357449408425050.post-4172465254384589212014-10-30T11:20:00.001-04:002014-10-30T11:20:36.548-04:00Halloween Finger Puppets!<div style="text-align: center;">
