SOME OF MY WORK

Here are a few things I have designed in the past.  Just a sneak peak of what Laura Dro Designs does!  The first photo is a digital sample of some stationery I designed for a client.  The next is a painting I did of Michigan Avenue at night in acrylics-sorry, sold it on Etsy.  It was one of my favorite paintings.  Next, is a digital sample of a save-the-date followed by some children's personalized stationery.  The last image is a sketch that will be the start of one of my lines for Surtex.  I drew it by hand in my sketchbook then scanned it into Illustrator.

Have a great weekend!

FIRST POST OF MANY!!

Hello!  I know there are about 4 people in the world that know about my new blog - but I am glad you do!  I guess this is the start of something I have been working towards for the past year or so?  Maybe I have been working towards it all my life-I don't know?  I offically launched Laura Dro Designs, LLC about 2 months ago and I am preparing for the Surtex Art Licensing show in May-Yeah! Very excited/overwhelmed/nervous/freaking.  I am feverishly working on my portfolio of designs that will hopefully be picked up by-well, any company that loves them as much as I do!  Rugs, fabric, dinnerware, wallpaper, decorative art, bedding, stationary....I love it all and hope that my designs will grace the shelves one day of some of my favorite stores:)  To start, I am going to post images that are inspiring to me as I am creating everything and then as Surtex nears, I will reveal my work!  So, check back often and hopefully I can figure out how to make this hard work pay off!  Any tips for first time business owners are welcome-especially in the marketing area!
