Little Characters: Baby Clothes with Personality

I would love it if you could visit my online store, Little Characters, to see a great selection of my unique drawings on baby/toddler onesies, T-shirts, and bibs. This store is definitely an expression of me.

In the summer of 08,right around the time my son, Cai, turned one, I decided to get back in touch with my artistic side.

Since I was very little, I have loved to draw. When I was an elementary student, I was a latchkey kid, and I loved to pass the hours with a stack of white paper and a pencil, drawing picture after picture of cartoon people while the TV blared away. My parents always found me surrounded by a flurry of white paper.

I continued to draw a lot in high school, but I kind of lost that part of myself as a young adult. My best friend bought me a beautiful box of colored pencils and encouraged me to draw as a healthy distraction when my first marriage ended. That was an inspiration to me, but I still struggled to find a purpose or direction for any art.

After my son was born, I finally found my muse. I have always loved to draw people, and now I've got babies on the brain, so I started to draw little cartoon babies that express a unique personality or style . . . little punks, hippie babies, future geeks . . . before I knew it, I had pages and pages of ideas. I now spend about three hours a day working on my own shop, Little Characters, where people can buy T-shirts, onesies, and bibs featuring my original artwork.
