December 2021 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy December!
This month's illustration is a festive tribute to holiday florals and greenery, one of my favorite things to draw! Did you know that 90% of the work I illustrate at Paper Raven Co. is themed for winter holidays? I spend most of my year (even Spring and Summer!) drawing Santas, Menorahs, Snowflakes and Christmas Trees! So it's extra fun when we finally get to December and playing Christmas music is acceptable. But sometimes when you have a big project, you just have to get into the spirit in July ;)

Happy July!
Wow, it sure is hot in Atlanta right now, folx! I hope you are having a wonderful start to July, and finding some way to relax and beat the heat. I'm ready to break out our pool (we have a Minnidip!), my suit and some refreshing beverages, that's for sure. Since we're growing a modest plethora of garden veggies, flora and fauna in our backyard, I wanted this month's wallpaper to be a tribute to our growing garden. Also, did I mention that we bought our home?! Woo hoo!

I hope you're having a great start to the month of May! A short + sweet newsletter today to share our wallpaper with you. I wanted to combine a lot of florals because our neighborhood is in full bloom and it's really inspiring (except for the pollen lol).

Happy March!
We're getting closer to Spring and it feels so good! I wanted to create an illustration this month that evoked the feeling of little buds and leaves just starting to peek out, combined with some lovely script hand-lettering. I hope you like this month's wallpaper as much as I do!

Welcome to August, friends. We've made it this far,
and that's quite an accomplishment.
and that's quite an accomplishment.
I really wanted to focus this month's illustration on intentions. What are you seeking this month? Rest from the uncertainty of the world and the future? Peace for ourselves when everything seems so divided? Recognition of the real issues we're fighting to resolve? Or perhaps you're seeking Positivity as a way to move forward through this time. Maybe it's Resources to grow your passions so you can contribute to this world in a meaningful way. Maybe it's simply a moment to catch your breath. Whatever you're seeking this month, I hope that you read these words and take comfort in them... that the more we spend our energy on creating the new, the more quickly we'll see those changes in our lives. Take a moment today to say them out loud, and put them out into the Universe. She hears you :)

Thank you all so much again.
Stay strong, stay healthy and keep caring about each other.

Happy July, everyone! It's an understatement to say that the last few months have been a challenge, and also a revolution of thought and action. Exciting and difficult changes are starting to happen, and we at Paper Raven Co. are committed to continuing in this fight.
That said, the importance of resting and appreciating the simple joys of life has become a critical point of balance for many of us. I wanted to illustrate something that simply just made me happy, something that felt hopeful. Additionally, it was only fitting to focus on the color yellow this month: a color symbolizing awareness, education and new thought, mixed with optimism and hope for the future.
