New Spring Prints…

new-prints-joanna-bakerSpring! It seems as though the season is finally here to stay and the weather today in NYC is absolutely gorgeous. Which means it’s the perfect time to release a new round of spring art prints featuring my most recent illustrations and if you follow me on Instagram you already got a sneak peek!

They are finally ready to make their debut: Macaron Day, Eiffel Fleurs, No More April Showers, Summer Kicks, and Summer Swimsuits are now available as art prints for sale in both my online shop and on Etsy.

And a special thanks to Essie who featured my illustration of Essie nail polish colors on their Instagram last week… super exciting and a big welcome to my new Instagram followers! It’s so wonderful to be able to share my freelancing illustration adventure with you. Expect new shop updates coming soon (brand new journals, note cards, coasters, a nail polish print for all you Essie fans and much more). And that special secret I’ve been keeping for a little while now will be revealed shortly… exciting things for the shop!

Thankfully it didn’t last long and after a few days of recovery and several Kleenex boxes later, I’m back to work towards a very exciting weekend coming up!

I’ve decided that for a little while at least I’m just going to draw happy things even if they don’t really have anything to do with, well, anything. Recently I’ve been thinking about flamingos… maybe with the heat and humidity hitting near tropical levels here in NYC!

A colleague of mine and his partner recently adopted a baby girl and invited me to a welcoming party in her honor last Sunday. This little girl is set for life… for starters her closet is already bigger than mine! The entire event was catered and the two proud daddies went all out with cake, candies, and desserts decorated with her monogram. There was even a red carpet involved… needless to say, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a fancier baby shower!
