I got pretty excited to see how other artists are tackling these poems and fables in the modern world. See more of Denise Gallagher's work on Aesop Illustrated on For Print Only, or check out her site. 2.

1. The Bible of Barbecue I love when my world of design overlaps with my hubby's world of BBQ. This overlap could not be more true in the form of this consumable book
Starting an Etsy Shop: Some Humble Words of Advice
I am not an Etsy expert, but I wanted to share a few thoughts that I have come to realize over this past year. And I am sure if you went in to creating a shop after doing some market research, a lot of this would be already known to you. But I just jumped into running my shop, feet first with a blindfold on
