It looks like i'm finding my groove again illustration wise. Spending time on a couple small custom design projects, freestyle pattern designing and long overdue promised illustrations brought some exciting new ideas to mind.

First of all, i'm going to set up an etsy shop for custom illustrations. I have already claimed ismoyoart.etsy.com, you can look, but there is nothing there yet. The whole idea needs to take shape first. I'm thinking of offering wedding (invitations and save the date cards) and baby announcement cards, standard designs that can be personalized with the appropriate names/dates and also custom designs of course. There will also be the option to order vector portraits, cute for newborn babies or wedding couples.

Another, totally different new idea, has to do with the upcoming release of my first craft book. Since my publisher is located in London, most of my friends are living in Amsterdam and my online supporters are all over the world, there won't be a real book release party. Unfortunately. But it is such a big event that i don't want to let it go by unnoticed. It deserves to get some of my special attention. So i'm thinking about hosting a virtual book release party! I've been seeing virtual baby showers on several blogs, so why not a virtual release? For now i have no idea what it will entail, except of course there will be a giveaway of a copy of my book. And maybe some virtual cocktails and cupcakes? It will be good. More info will follow in due time, since the US release is scheduled for December 9th, i still have a bit of time to think about it. Hope you all want to be a part of my party!
