I letterpressed a much of stars and cut them out for this little thang I’m doing..
A final piece for survey that I started and completed this morning! Half letterpresses and half painted. And college. A bit 3D.
Look at the stars, look how they shine for you!…haha not exactly what I originally thought of. This guy was inspired by a man who plays his guitar at the union square subway station on Friday mornings. He always has a crown on and has a sick mustache.
Made my own business cards last night for my end of the semester survey!
“Who dah f—- Caires?” “Rachel Caires!”
Finally decided to put to use my last name joke that I’ve been hearing since middle school.
Soon to be letterpressed..

welp here is a soon-to-be poster. digital.
While cleaning up some of my pieces I zoomed in on this little guy. Wish I could float away by balloon like him!
watercolor, gouache, acrylic.

Watercolor, gouache, and digital.
“Eat Yo Veggies” iPhone cases are in!
P.s- don’t ever use Zazzle.com. So many issues.

Too much brown and it’s driving me crazy.

Little Raindrop finally finds a spot that isn’t too hot nor too cold. He takes a break from all his traveling and naps with a chipmunk!
I need to start coloring these when I’m not exhausted so I make better color choices..
