Takin' a Breather

Hey guys - I'm wiped out!  I'm taking a tiny break from blogging to catch up on my illustration work and also to revamp my shop.  I'll be back later in the week with another exciting post but until then, have a great week and see you soon! xo - Nicole

Alphabet Beauty: H is for Hair!

“I'd love to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.” - Bette Davis

Your hair can define your style at a moments glance.  Hair can have its own personality or enhance your personality based on how you style it, or don't.  Hair can act as an accessory to your everyday look or be styled in a way that gives the perfect finishing touch to whatever it is you're wearing or wherever you may be going.  Hair is incredible.  Whether you like yours or not (which don't be silly- if you're blessed with any kind of mane, love it, appreciate it, and learn how to treat it.)  We're going to give you some tips on how to take care of those locks of yours on a daily basis!

This is an birthday illustration I did for my dear friend Emily.  She's very funny, she likes unicorns and loves to party - so naturally, I had to draw her on top of a unicorn... throwing up a rainbow.  Unicorns puking rainbows make me laugh.  This is my finest work yet.
