Sharky!

Sharky was a fun one to draw. I'm drawn to the style of these traditional artists and they've had a large influence on my work. I find that I draw things that I wouldn't mind getting tattooed on me. If you ever see something that I've drawn that doesn't fit that style, it's probably a request😁.








You can find this design at heart and harbor. We're always open for suggestions for new subjects and are excited to put them into our line. Have a great holiday weekend!

Flamingos, Apparently

Image
  Today was follow through on a suggestion from a follower.  "you should draw a flamingo."  I'm in Florida and i know I've taken some nice flamingo pics at my visit to Sarasota Jungle Gardens.  Why didn't I draw one earlier? I honestly don't know.  Lately I've started recording parts of the process while I work, and this became the latest sketchbook session. Here's the finished piece in the sketch book. This is only half the battle.  Jody is on her computer right now working to turn this bird into some wearable art for heartandharbor.net  . --D & J.

Dolphins Live here too!

Image
  Today I'm beginning the posting of all my creative videos. I have made a few and if you have seen our social media posts, you may be familiar with them. The blog seems like a better place to post them to keep them easy to reach and searchable. I hope you enjoy being in on my creative process. Here's my dolphin drawing process, time lapsed for ease of viewing! Here is the video that I shot and inspired the piece! I had a lot of fun making the dolphin piece, it's so awesome to live near these amazing animals! The dolphin design is available for sale at  Heart and Harbor. -- D & J

Sea Turtle Revisited

Image
Coastal Florida has been a constant source of inspiration for my work. The Gulf, the wildlife, the salt air, and the rhythms of life near the water all find their way into my sketchbook sooner or later. Of all those subjects, few are more recognizable, or more loved, than the sea turtle. When we launched Heart & Harbor , the idea was simple. Bring the artwork living in my sketchbooks onto something people could wear. The bold linework, the influence of traditional tattoo art, and the imagery of the coast all came together to create pieces that felt connected to the places and experiences that inspire them. The sea turtle quickly became one of those designs. Over the years, it has remained one of the most popular pieces in the collection. What makes that especially interesting is that while I’ve shared the finished artwork countless times, I never documented the process behind creating it. So today I decided to change that. Rather than digging through old files, I sat dow...
