Caricature Logos for Businesses

I've recently gotten into doing some caricature logos for local businesses. Here's a few! 

This first piece was done for Christine's Cookie Shoppe and Sugarbabe's Gourmet Cupcakes in New Hartford, NY. This is a collaborative business between the two girls in one space, and I can tell you from experience, they have some amazing sweets! My Friend Kim over at Creative Designs supplied the logos in the girls hands and the type surrounding. 

This second piece is was done for Suzi's Place, a family style diner opening in Bouckville, NY! Bouckville has some great antique shops, which gave me a little inspiration for the logo.

Warm Wishes for the Holiday Season, December wrap up

2012 Christmas Card: 

Here are some photos from the Holiday Indie Garage Sale. This was my best sale yet and a great way to end off 2012. I'm hoping that I'll be able to travel for more craft shows in 2013, especially now that I've got my routine down.

2012 Holiday Indie Garage Sale!

This Saturday and Sunday! See you there!
