Mixed Media Portraits Inspired by, Suzy
•
Today’s project is inspired by and dedicated to my soul sister supreme, @suzyultman. Suzy’s whimsical design and illustration work has danced across book pages, toys, textiles, home goods, fine art prints, softies, stickers and enamel pins. If you aren’t following Suzy yet, do yourself a favor and wander over and take a peek at the “wee and wonderful” world she has created. Spotted cats and personable blooms, feathered friends, tiny houses, Russian nesting dolls, lush fruit, underwater sea creatures, cars that beep…AND let’s not forget the ladies with the BIG HAIR.

I have been lucky enough to call this insanely-talented woman my good friend over the past couple of years. It’s a long distance deal (she’s in Ohio and I’m in Los Angeles) but every time we jump on a call to catch up I am reminded of what a rare and marvelous being she is. You know when you meet someone and you feel like you have known them your whole life? That’s how I feel about Suzy. She has held a very tender and safe space for me since I lost Paul l and I have leaned into that space a lot. Suzy and I have been dreaming and scheming possible collaborations for a while now, so I am just going to put it out into the universe: THIS IS OUR YEAR, SUZ! I love you. Oh! After you give Suzy a follow, go check out her 2-part episode on the Creative Pep Talk Podcast. It is next-level amazing. You can find a link to the podcast on her feed — just look for the cute illustration of her with the bubble-letter arch.

R, H and I had SO much fun turning ourselves into BIG haired Suzy girls. I promise to get the full post up sometime tomorrow and I will link it when I do!
