love for the bunnies.

The newest addition to Designs by Steppie: "Bunny Love"



These little bunnies are in love... and have got even more love to spread to you and your home!

This is an original mixed media painting on high quality canvas stretched on a 8" x 8" frame. The tree and bunnies are cut out of quality patterned tissue paper, and were placed onto a bright painted backdrop with quality acrylics.

"Bunny Love" currently comes in two different colors.

Teal + Cherry Edition

Blue + Pink Edition

Coming soon to Designs by Steppie?
Adorable quality prints of "Bunny Love" matted and framed!

mel the unicorn.

So, there's this little fabulous girl in my life named Melanie.
I say "little" because she's just that...
Under 5 feet, but a ball of energy.

Anyway, I was so excited when she asked me to do a custom piece for her!
And, of course, she wanted a painting made of her favorite animal:
THE UNICORN!

All she asked was that it have the colors orange and blue.
And I think I'm a little in love with it.

So much in love with it...
I think I want to make more,
and add a line of "Mel the Unicorns" into my shop!

The unicorn actually reminds me a lot of Mel...
Big doe eyes, bright, friendly, and adorable.

I think I want my next version of this
to be in red and turquoise...
if you have any other ideas, comment & let me know!

Want a unicorn for yourself?

panda bearrrr.

I found it only right that I eventually added an "I Heart Panda" to my "I Heart..." painting series. Why it took so long? Probably because I was over-thinking it and wanted it to be PERFECT-O.

For those that don't know me personally, panda bear is probably my alter ego. (; We share the droopy eyes, the mushy cheeks, and the mischievous grin most see as friendly and welcoming. ...Little do they know!

Anyhoot, I had a BLAST with this painting.
I hope you like it as much as I do -- please leave me comments!

i am a ninja.

Ninjas.

I think we're all a little ninja deep inside. Whether you like to show your sly and fantastic ways to others, or whether you prefer for it to come out at night.




Ninjas are known to be a wee bit of trouble. But they're also witty, intelligent, and daring. And heck, they're just pretty damn awesome!

...So awesome that they make an awesome painting! (:

I want to paint more ninjas, but in different colors -- have any ideas?

modern abstractions.

I just returned from my trip in Sin City for Hip Hop Internationals two nights ago, and couldn't wait to get back and start painting again.

But before I go into my new creations, I've got to say: the trip to Las Vegas with my fellow CADC heads - it was absolutely amazing. We didn't proceed to the Worlds competition, but placed 4th in the USA finals. But more importantly? We met some amazing people from all over the country - and all over the world! Definitely an unforgettable trip.

But is it nerdy that I was excited to come back to make some new artwork? Probably, but there's no shame here!

So, without further ado!

experimenting with tote baggies.

New listing up as of this morning: "CHILLIN" Canvas Tote Bag!



This is the first of my hand-painted canvas tote bags! The painting was based off one my more popular paintings, "Chillin" - which is still available in a range of colors in my shop!

The canvas tote bag is adorned in acrylic paint on the front and back (as seen in the photos above!). There are birds "chillin" on a tree branch on the front, and the remainder of the tree with a heart hanging from it on the back. There is also a detachable red bow, made out of high-quality wired ribbon, tied to one of the front straps.

In addition, if you make this purchase, I can customize it with YOUR NAME (in black stamped ink - the font is shown in my 5th picture, as a sample) in your desirable location!

I had a LOT of fun making this one, and can't wait for it to find a home!

This tote bag can also be custom-made to your own color choices (just shoot me an Etsy Convo!) - any colors can be made by request! In addition, if you'd love to see more my other paintings on canvas tote bags, send me an Etsy Convo and we will further discuss our future creation. :)
