My Cupcake Bears are a fusion of two of my favorite things: cupcakes, and bears. Cupcakes made a boom here locally about two or three years ago and are still going strong. My favorite cupcake place is Sonja’s Cupcakes in Serendra where I get my favorite Valrhona Chocolate cupcakes. Nom nom!
Anyway, this is a design I’ve had sitting around in some forgotten folder on my hard drive when I remembered I had it about a month ago. I took it out for a spin and reworked this illustration until I got what you see now in the picture above. I’ve since put these cupcake bears on various products on my Etsy shop and reception has been great.
I have memo pads, stickers (a best-seller), tumblers, and notebooks. Find them here on my shop.
And if you’re craving for real cupcakes, check out the cupcake mint on Etsy. It’s too bad I am overseas so they can’t ship to me but I’ll be content with staring at their cupcake pictures.

It’s been so long since I last participated in Illustration Friday! Here’s one for this week’s theme though. I experimented with a different style of coloring (yeah, what I say when something goes wrong.. haha). Almost trashed this because I couldn’t get the coloring right but I managed to salvage it, eventually. Now I think I like this better than what I had originally pictured in my head.
This little bear is for a project I’m working on with some crafty friends; you’ll be seeing more of this guy very soon! Now is a good time to add this blog to your RSS feeds to get updates as soon as I post them! (What is RSS?)
I also have a new Etsy shop, just waiting to list more items as the weekend approaches so stay tuned for that..
Anyway, here’s another illo I can fit in for the IF topic…
Here’s an old illustration that will fit nicely into the week’s topic: a word balloon!
Also, for a more traditional take on the topic, here’s an old design I made for my boyfriend Don’s Starbucks tumbler for his birthday last year.
