November 2018 Desktop Wallpaper
Happy November! This month, I will be gearing up for the holidays, launching our 2019 Folk Art Florals Calendar (coming November 5th!), and donating to some good causes. Most importantly, I will be VOTING! Who's with me?
This month's calendar was created in my ProCreate App for the iPad Pro - I have been loving this workflow so much! I typically use the Dry Ink brush under Inking for my linework.

October 2018! Here Comes Halloween!
Happy October! One of my favorite months of the year bc HALLOWEEN! (My fav holiday!) Candy, scary movies, dressing up and cooler nights! This is the first year that Daniel and I will have a front yard, so I'm excited to break out the pumpkins, cobwebs, and maybe some spooky stuff! Should I post pics on my Insta???

September 2018 Desktop Wallpaper
Happy September, I hope you are having a wonderful holiday weekend! While I still have dreams of a barkyard pool + margaritas forever, I'm also excited about chillier weather, sweaters, and decorating our house for Halloween. I asked Daniel if September 1st was too early for cobwebs on the bushes and he said yes (dang it!). A girl can dream. (and buy Halloween candy early - bad idea?)

It's My Birthday Month! August 2018
Happy August! This month is my birthday month, and I'll be turning 32 on August 8th! I wanted to create an extra-special desktop wallpaper for you this month, that captures the feeling of warm summer nights in the backyard - because that's how I've been spending the last few months. We've even seen some fireflies, which is one of my fav childhood memories.

July 2018 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy July! After finally settling into our new home, I'm looking forward to enjoying the summer outdoors, and am resisting buying all of the cute inflatable pools for our backyard! I was inspired by this quote for the July Wallpaper, because I feel like it truly encapsulates that Summer Feeling. For this months' wallpaper, I worked on the lettering in ProCreate for iPad Pro :) and finished the colors in Photoshop. It's been fun to mix up my process a little!

May 2018 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
This month is a big month for us here at Paper Raven Co.! We're moving house and studio (again, woof!) and we're coming off of a bonkers month of Holiday deadlines. It was especially refreshing to paint with some lovely sherbet pinks and bright, fresh greens. Daniel, Patty and I have been taking every chance we have to be outside in the sunshine, and I am excited af for the new *backyard* that's coming with our new house!! Tiki torches, BBQs, string lights, sunny morning coffee, lots of gardening. Lately I've really been trying to count the little, everyday joys in my life.

April 2018 Illustrated Wallpaper
Happy April, and Happy Easter, for those who celebrate. If you don't celebrate, then cheers to more sunshine - which we are finally having here in Atlanta! And what inspired April's Wallpaper. On my quest for more color, I have fallen even more deeply in love with royal blues and bright yellows. I hope you enjoy this happy wallpaper! Sending you good vibes at the start of this month.
