Little Pup

Back from a visit home. I'm still getting back into the swing of things. Vacation always throws me out of whack for a while after. Tonight I just played around to get myself back into action. This cute yellow dog, Bee, on a sunny day hike is what came out.

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Latin Beats for Kids Illustration

(sorry for the copyright but a girl's got to try and protect her art, right?)

Something new to share! I had so much fun working on this illustration last week. After meeting with my boss to discuss the art direction I was set free to do what I wanted. Thankfully the client loved it. Woohoo and phew! :)


I thought I would share a bit of my process for jobs like this. I started with a few thumbnails to rough out my concept (sorry, I forgot to scan the other rough to show). My roughs are always so tiny. The image above is the thumbnail I chose to work from for the final piece, it's about 2" x 2". I always do a little research for some inspiration/education, plug in my earphones and hunch over the little square and let blossoming ideas pour out. Then a quick scan and I begin the digital drawing and coloring. Then "Ta-Da!" I got a nice illustration to be proud of.

Wall Art for my Niece

I've been busy creating sweet designs for my niece who is having a baby girl in November. The baby shower is in 2 weeks and I am so excited to see her and throw a bash of a shower :) The theme is butterflies and the colors are brown, pink and green. Love it! It has been a blast to create all the elements. I'll post the invitation and toppers in the next few days. Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Teddy Bear Cuteness

Hello, hello! After a while of being a bit on the uncreative side I had a surge of creativity and out came these cuties. I just love them. These are my favorite colors - they make me happy. Don't you just want to squeeze them? - ha! :)

I've only had time to put together a sheet of 2" circles for the pink and green version. I plan to use these bears on more products for Zazzle and my Etsy printables. I can't wait to get started!






Have a great weekend! Tweet Follow @kellymedina

Get Well Cards

As promised, here is one of my recent projects I wanted to share with you. After creating these, I found out how handy it is to have them all ready to send out to a family member.

These cards and more of my designs are available for purchase through Tiny Prints.

My favorite design is the tulip design. The little piggy being so cute and sure to bring a smile to the recipient's face is a close second. Which do you like?

4th of July Labels

Hellloooo! ellloo... elllooo.

I've been a very bad blogger lately. I'm sorry. I've been meaning to share the projects I have been working on but between trying to not work all the time (aka have some fun), dealing with every day life and doing work it just hasn't happened. But I have a way to buy your love... another Freebie! This one is for the 4th of July celebrations around the corner. These labels will add that extra touch of awesome to the party decor. Available to download here.

Don't give up on me, I'm going to try and post more soon!

A Father's Day Freebie

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. As I am preparing my father's day cards to be sent out this week, I thought a little freebie was much needed for my readers and shop customers! Perfect for cupcake toppers, gift bag labels, or a sticker to put on Dad's shirt to be worn with pride. You can download these here and all my past freebies are also on this page. Enjoy!

Father's Day Cards

As I promised, here are the Father's Day cards I designed for Tiny Prints. Until I get a large enough collection of cards I don't have a Featured Designer page. For most of my cards you can search "Kelly Medina Studios" to see what I have created for them, but these aren't showing up in that search. I'm hoping they get it fixed soon so I can link to my growing collection.



I always get a happy kick when I see they use one of my designs for their promotional site photos. That is my golfing Father's Day card looking pretty great in that layout!
