I just wanted to say thank you for offering to help carry my little orangey/pink suitcase. It really meant a lot because I was having a really terrible day.

Hi Sophie,
ReplyDeleteI got directed her through the drawn.ca website. Really interesting work. I love your drawings!
I've been down in a slump of sorts as to what to draw and what not... and your blog inspired me to do something similar. I live in LA so I figured there's some pretty interesting stories there too. I'll mention your site in my blog to give you credit and so that other people can see your work too. Thanks.
I've discovered you in someone's tumblr. Thanks, tumblr.
ReplyDeleteThanks, someone.
Thank you.
Caradluna.
what an adorable site. i'm so glad i found it. your artwork is beautiful and uplifting.
ReplyDeletemissed connections has long been a passion of mine. one that i think, all the time, about turning into something, but, instead, i just read. and watch. and now find this. or, rather, a friend found it. and sent it to me. and i would like to tell you how wonderful it is. i'd also love to get more updates. can you tell me how? caleb@lacocinasf.org

ReplyDeleteI am so glad I stumbled across your site this morning. Wonderful illustrations, what a sweet way to breathe life into a few tiny words in an ad.
ReplyDeleteHello : My name is Cristian Parodi, Director of Moosgo (www.moosgo.com). I would like to discuss the following with you:
ReplyDeleteI have learned about your work through a NYT article. Our company deals with turning beautiful and original art—just like yours—into applications for iPhone and iPod Touch for all users of these devices to be able to enjoy cool and original art “on the go”.
I would like to develop applications with your illustrations to spread and market them through the iTunes APP Store. Our work plan is very simple and practical: we are responsible for developing the application with your illustrations (we could even include texts to complement your work, as well as photos, videos and accesses to your blog, youtube, etc.).
If you need more information or more details about our proposal, please feel free to contact me at cristian@moosgo.com
Thank you very much for your time and I will be expecting hearing from you.
Best !
What is the original size of this print? And is it just watercolor with ink? Beautiful!
