Heartimalz

Last year I began doing these little designs I call Heartimalz. It started off as a simple doodle of an elephant contorted into the shape of a heart. Naturally I needed to draw more animals like this, and so the art form evolved into a more mature version. So far I have done Heartimalz as wedding gifts and upon request from friends and family. My next series will feature California native animals and plants! I am so excited, so stay tuned :) Here are a few of my finished Heartimalz, they can be found on products in my zazzle store. They are ink and watercolor works on paper. I made a facebook page you can "like" if you like Heartimalz. I will update here and there when I create new ones.

* new ones 2015 These two are my dawgs, Raider and Roxy. Raider is a bluenose we got from the shelter as a puppy, and Roxy is a Chug, chihuahua-pug who came from a student of mine.

This one is a memorial for a mother/son pair who were murdered! RIP 2016
