2017 Minted Holiday Card Contest

Hey, y'all! 

I decided to enter the Minted Holiday Photo card design contest again this year! This is my second year to enter. I know most people send photo cards at Christmas nowadays, and this is the easiest way for my designs to appear with photos. I created 12 designs; each design was hand-painted, so they are unique but still very much in my style.

So if you'd like to see these as options for sale on Minted this holiday season, I need your votes! Sign in to Minted to rate each entry (1 through 5, with 5 being the highest). Feel free to "heart" it, too - it's not part of the vote but it ups the hype! ;)  You only need to vote on each entry once.

Instagram Sightings

A few sightings of some of my Minted pieces on Instagram:

 Sitting Pretty I from @smnthajohnson 

and Sitting Pretty I and II again because... this dog

Aren't these photos great? It's so cool to see my work in the wild.  

That looks familiar...

Last week a friend of mine texted me asking if she was imagining things or if she was seeing my art on the set of Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel. We don't have cable, so I've never seen the show and was uncertain.

She then sent me the following photo:

 Ahh!!! 

It was my print From a Table in Carolina that is in my Minted shop. 

 So that was a pretty fun discovery! It looks like the set has several prints by other Minted artists, too. 

So for funsies...

Here is Queen Latifah with my print:

 And here is the cast of Fuller House with my print:

(including the infamous Mr. Woodchuck who seems VERY into my art)

 And here are Regis and Kathie Lee with my print:

The first time I was aware that the art on tv and film sets was sometimes real art from actual living artists (and not just prop pieces made for the show) was when I read an article about the artists whose pieces were featured in the background of Central Perk coffee shop on Friends. I pay close attention to the art on tv shows and movies just to see if I recognize anything; while I always secretly hoped to see my own art, I never thought it would actually happen! 


And, lastly, here is Chrissy Metz from This Is Us with my print: 
(is anyone else obsessed with that show?)

Thanks so much to my friend Lauren for not choking on her waffle when she saw it and letting me know! 

(and thanks to the set decorator who chose my print to display this season!)

minted x west elm art challenge

I entered 10 designs for the new Minted x West Elm Art Challenge contest! 

 

They are fun, colorful, modern pieces, some from my recent sketchbook series. 

 

  

 

 

 

Voting is open now through Feb 15 (that's just two week!), so sign in and rate my designs if you'd love to see them as art prints! Minted art prints are amazing because you can get them in multiple sizes (much larger than I am able to offer independently) AND you can order them framed. #winwin

Minted Christmas Card Contest

I took the plunge and designed nine photo Christmas cards for the Minted Photo Holiday card contest this year! (They do their holiday prep early so they are nice and ready for the upcoming season.)

I had a lot of fun designing these; each design was hand-painted, so they have a unique artistic look, ranging from rustic and woodsy to sweet and feminine. It's exciting to be able to do photo cards, since that's what most people send nowadays! 

Voting is open now through May 18 (that's just a week!), so sign in and rate my designs if you'd love to see them as card options!

 I love interior design/home decor (just ask my Pinterest page, ha!) and it's so fun to see my art utilized in different rooms in different ways. Of course, now all I want to do is go redecorate a room or two...
