Here’s a new logo using my handwriting style. What do you think?!</p>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15730077434http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15730077434Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:33:58 -0800<p>It’s the first week of the year and I am kicking it off with some new pen & ink drawings! I’ve got a lot of new ideas and my computer just so happens to be in for repairs with The Genius Bar. I’m hoping to get it back soon but in the mean time, I am having a good time drawing in pencil, messy pens, tracing paper, watercolor etc.</p> <p>My desk feels luxuriously spacious right now and I am taking full advantage of the extra room. I have some new obsessions such as whimsical repeat patterns and yes, cows. WIll keep you posted on what’s new. </p> <p>Happy 2012!</p>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15427037592http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15427037592Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:46:26 -0800<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53f4QLMg1qg3ybvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142891329http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142891329Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:52:16 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53eoZSY61qg3ybvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142877028http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142877028Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:52:00 -0800<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53e8UAj71qg3ybvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My surfboard illustration for Billabong at CityWalk / Universal Studios Hollywood.</p>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142862589http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142862589Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:51:44 -0800<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53ayX3vv1qg3ybvo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53ayX3vv1qg3ybvo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53ayX3vv1qg3ybvo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53ayX3vv1qg3ybvo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx53ayX3vv1qg3ybvo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>I finally got a chance to see one of my surfboard illustrations in person! This is the surfboard I illustrated for Billabong at the CityWalk / Universal Studios Hollywood location. Seeing it in person was a real thrill!! The boards were nicely lit and it added a nice vibe to the store. If you are ever at CityWalk, be sure to stop by the BIllabong store and check it out!</p>http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142766779http://www.sarajanedraws.com/post/15142766779Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:49:45 -0800illustrationsurboards<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwkinctQpM1qg3ybvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Look!
