Greetings!

Aside from art shows - I'm going to focus more on paper goods and childrens art. 

I'm starting with creating a couple greeting cards a day until I read around 20, and then i'll be opening shop and creating them! 

My original illustrations will be up for licensing soon to anyone who is interested in purchasing designs. Check out my Flickr page to see all the latest designs and more to come.

Tentacle Love Show (Monkeyhouse Toys)

Check out the Tentacle Love Show Feb 18th at Monkeyhouse Toys in Los Angeles.
It's going to be a great show with tons of talented artists, hope to see you there!

They Draw & Travel

I put together this Map of my hometown Traverse City - I was in a rush to make it, because I wanted to make sure it was entered into their current contest (You-Topia). If you ever get a chance to visit T.C. - I'd recommend the summer or early fall - you'll want to be able to enjoy all the warm sunny sandy beaches. 

Below are some of my fave entries for the You-Topia TDAT contest, 

although there are a lot of other beautiful entries to see via TheDrawandTravel.com

99 Designs - entry

So I was all pumped up and made this nice logo, and it was rejected in 2 mins flat, haha.
It's okay, I didn't expect to win because so many people are entering.

However, I do really like this logo and how I was able to fit both the housing and bear into one simple, clean, clever, memorable logo.
So since it doesn't have a chance, I thought I'd at least post it up and share it.

If anything 99 designs will get me to make a bunch of logos, something I've been wanting to do for awhile now.

Ride On

I've been trying to focus on some typography lately, and this is the result. There will be much more to come, and in the mean time, please enjoy!

Cherry Bomb

Many thanks to the fine folks at Cherry Bomb for posting about my artwork.

Obviously, I really love and appreciate it when I get positive feedback - the fun part of being an artist.

Cherry Bomb is a design firm located in Mexico & they run a nice blog where they post up about various artists and inspiration. 

For those who don't speak spanish here's a very rough translation on my part:

Fun, adorable illustrations, patterns, and a couple tributes to great cartoons such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as Adventure Time. The work of Kali Meadows is beautifully playful and retro.  Needless to say, a designer from Los Angeles, USA - A love for kawaii and pop culture, the perfect combination between a world of fantasy and graphic design, which has been outfitted with super fashion clients, the likes of Sanrio, Disney, Hot Topic, Urban Outfitters andForever 21.

Really happy that they dig my illustrations & special thanks to Nora La Disenadora for selecting my work!
