Piddix Design Roundup 2015-2016

It’s time for my annual review of all the art I made this past year, and it is fascinating to compare it to the last time I did this. Designs below include artwork I created for class, products that have already been made such as calendars and wall art, and new printed collage sheets and digital designs. So fun to see it all in one place.

Paper and Ink

Did you miss me? Well, no, you probably didn't. But just in case I'll tell you what has kept me hiding away at my computer for the past two months. My new project involves:

• 60 custom collage sheets
• Quotes from 8 printers
• 20 paper samples
• Packaging design
• 23 versions of new layouts
  
• Dipping prototypes in glue, water, resins and anything else to otherwise destroy them
  

And a total lack of sleep while figuring everything out. I don't think I've gone to bed before 2 am once this month. I have such a love/hate relationship with new projects. They can have a huge learning curve, which in many ways I love, but can also be so frustrating at times while I try to figure out the perfect answer.

And no, I haven't told you exactly what I've been up to. I will save that announcement for when I actually deliver the new product to stores. But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Check back in a couple of weeks to see how everything turned out.

In the mean time, here's a sneak peek at some of the images from a new Steampunk collage sheet I have been playing around with. Enjoy!

It's Here. It's Here!

I always feel positively giddy picking up a new batch of CDs. The people at the local duplication house are just so nice, and I get a big box of goodies. Yea! I spent last night wrapping a big bunch of them in 1950s dictionary pages getting them ready to go out.

You can check out the new CD in my etsy store, or see all of the collage sheets that are on it here. It has some of my favorite and best-selling collage sheets (including pin-ups, postcards, Victorian Alice, and a ton of holidays). Plus, for the first week only, each CD comes with two free digital collage sheets sent via email so you can grab some of your favorites not on the CD.
