The article's out!
About this design:
When a family friend (formerly a journalist) was asked for suggestions for a featured artist in the local Land & Home, she suggested my nieces and I! The writer was intrigued that almost everyone in the family is an "artist" so she focused on the girls and me (My brother-in-law and nephew are amazing painter/drawers/graphic designers as well). It came out last week, and will be on newsstands for 3 months. This could be huge for us! Kinda exciting.
