Jen Goode doodles, keeping busy creating art

Jen Goode Penguins Licensed Art - YAY!

I’ve been busy the last month working on some websites and drawing a ton. Create some exciting new ideas and brainstorming concepts. First, I’m excited to announce that I have officially signed a deal with a new client to license some of my art for their products. I don’t know the exact date you’ll be able to purchase, but I can tell you, there will be penguins – YAY! More info later…

I’ve also been creating art YOU can use in your own projects. You’ll find a selection of Jen Goode original illustrations as “digi stamps” through my site, Lil’ Goodies.com. If you’re unfamiliar, a digi (or digital) stamp is an uncolored image you purchase online and download to your own computer. You can print it and color by hand or you can color it in your favorite graphic design program. I’m working to add new art regularly.

Here are some samples of the digital art I’ve created used in projects I’ve recently made:

What is a digital stamp? Digital stamps are printable art you color yourself. You download the art, print it at the desired size and then color or paint it however you like to use in your own handmade creations. These are all the designs I wanted to show you, so I printed them all out, colored them using colored pencils and design markers and then cut them out. You can find all my digital stamp designs at LilGoodies.com
