Greetings from three new states!

WIP 50 States

Here's a quick snap of my 50 States painted postcards project. There are certain states that I know nearly nothing about so this is a bit of an educational project for me...the western states were relatively straight forward as I could draw on experiences I made there myself but I didn't want to wait 'til I have visited all 50 states to carry on with this, so I have to continue reading and looking up on more interesting or quirky facts or myths about all other states - nerdy stuff, but I like it.

Thanks for recent blog features and mentions about my work to these guys:
seriousplay / frohlockend / cutelittlelife / lanastepul / Poppytalk / designi1 / waysideviolet / suzysarcastic / Design Crush /

Other good news is that my work got selected to be in the AOIs Images 35 book, which will be out in September 2011.

St Nikolaus

Today is St Nikolaus Day in Germany, which is kind of a big deal if you're a kid and like sweets, much like Trick or Treat over here. I went dressed as an angel once with clingfilm covered wings and silver-blue snow boots, that was in the eighties.
