Tropix is Bealls’ outdoor brand for Home. This first group is called Island Oasis and the parrot I drew for it was affectionately nick-named Hank around the office. So look for Hank in our brand new spring program in stores now. ;) Also, just a note – the colors on the web are looking kind of yucky. It could just be my monitor, but these are definitely more pure and vibrant in real life.

This second group was one I actually worked on over a year ago as a freelancer. It was my first project for Bealls’ Home division. My now co-worker Lenny Brinetti actually drew the original flowers for this art group, and I was responsible for taking the print and placing the art on all the items. I had to create different options with placement and trim, as well as design how the sculptural ceramic pieces would look. It’s called Tropical Gardens and is still in stores.

Palm Island has a pretty big program for Spring at Bealls and this was the first project I was asked to work on when I first got hired in house back in April. For as many items as you see here, it’s safe to say there were at least 5 times as many prints/color-way options as you see here before the buyers narrowed it down to the final combos they wanted in stores. So a lot of work, but I’m happy with it for my first big project. :) Here you’ll see the handbags (Large, Medium and Small totes) and flip-flops, but in store you should be able to find the hats as well. Matching beach towels will be out soon, hopefully I’ll get them posted as soon as their online.

Over the holidays some of the prints I did while freelancing and in house came out in our Misses brand – NUE Options. The items below are found in a mixture of Missy, Petite and Plus. Most of them can still be found in store now, but probably not for much longer.
The two cardigans I actually got to help place the artwork in the flat, place the rhinestones/embellishments, and make suggestions for button style. Ultimately the final decisions are made by the buyers, but I had my hands in more than just the art on these.

I designed the artwork on these shirts that you can find at Bealls right now and a portion of the proceeds go to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation’s efforts to study and restore damaged ecosystems and marine wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico.
These are the Juniors shirts I worked on, you can also shop for them online here: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=105&minor=108
And these are the Misses shirts I worked on, that you can find here: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=53&minor=56

Sometime last year I submitted some work to a juried competition for a project called The Ringling 100. It was open to current students, alumni and faculty and the final product is a published book of “100 images by 100 artists”. And I believe the proceeds of book sales go to student scholarships. The judges were:
Don Brandes -Ringling College of Art and Design
Deborah Healy -Ringling College of Art and Design
Kathy Altieri -DreamWorks Animation
Anyways one of my pieces got in, and the book is now out. This is the piece that got in, something I did while at school: http://jessicawillett.net/2008/04/02/sci-fifantasy-wish-tree/
And here is a link to the place you can purchase the book:
http://www.blurb.com/books/1476592
Currently you can use the coupon code: SAVETWENTY and receive 20% off your purchase (the discount comes off the cost of printing from Blurb, not out of the scholarship funds).
These are the next pieces I did for Bealls as a freelancer last year. I was asked to create floral elements in watercolor and translate them to illustrator. The in house artists/designers then arranged these elements how they wanted them on the garment. I really like the way they arranged them on these white dolman sleeved v-necks. As a part of the Coral Bay line it’s also a nice price point. I’ve only seen two of the designs I did online, but the other two may be in stores as well. I just haven’t had a chance to check yet. Here’s the link to the online store page: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=53&minor=60

A year ago I started my first freelance assignment with Bealls Department Stores. They asked me to create a series of Florida icons for their in-house brand Sunbay. They were scheduled to purchase 5 designs, but upon seeing all 10 sketches they decided to purchase 7 finals. Here are the 7 final designs I turned in:
The in-house artists then prepared the artwork in the color palette for that delivery, and the buyer chose which pieces they wanted to purchase. There were different designs purchased for Misses, Petite and Positively Plus. And the artists also created an all-over repeat using the icons, which were used on the 3/4 sleeve shirts.
Here are some examples of the basic v-neck tees that are in stores now:
Positively Plus:
3/4 Sleeve all-over print:
These are just the images I was able to get from the Bealls online store, there may be more versions in-store. Here is a link to the Sunbay section. Keep in mind that this link will eventually expire.

This post is a bit late in coming too, but what else is new?
This was the flyer card I did for Grace Baptist’s Easter outreach this year. The card was handed out at registration on Saturday to let them know the schedule of events, and then the backside was to advertise the new series Pastor had started for Sunday service (and kids church). This was fun to work on, I really enjoyed making the sparkly repeats for the jelly beans. ^_^ Plus the outreach was a huge success! We had over 600 kids on Saturday, and that’s just kids not even counting all the parents. Our awesome videographer/video editor Macky Bowlin put together this video recapping the events. You even get to see Ray in the dunking booth… :P
Fortunately when I forget to buy a card for an occasion, or can’t afford to buy one, I can always make one. I went to a baby shower a little while ago for our friends Doug and Amanda. They are having a baby girl who they’ve named McKenzie, this summer. Of course when I got home from buying their gift was when I realized I forgot to get a card to go with it, but I’m happy it gave me the chance to make this:
So you can see the front of the card, and then the interior wording. :)
