Announcement

Last updated on Nov 26, 2017

The Nancydraws Shop is now operating out of Durham, North Carolina. I am looking forward to seeing how the change of locale influences my work.

The cities of New York and Paris and my humorous observations of urban life provide inspiration for my work. I hope you enjoy my colorful drawings and collages and find a card or artwork to brighten the day of someone you care about, or to treat for yourself!

This zine, Antiracist Ancestors shipped very quickly and arrived in less than 5 days with a nice note from the seller. The zine itself is well-researched and easy to read and would make a great gift for zine makers or historians. Inspiring, really.

My only complaint would be...I want more! I enjoyed reading it (as a 43 year old) the writing is not simply but easily accessible to young ages. I appreciated the qvc(?) codes for more reading options. I think our world could be a better place if we spent more time calling attention to people whose values are worthy of emulation. Thanks for the great work and inspiration.

This is such an adorable card, and the cardstock is quality. I've had my eye on this card for some time since the location is right in my neighborhood, and I knew this was the Christmas to buy it, to welcome my fiancée here to her new home. She'll love it.

A Collage of Stories

Etsy has been a great way to self-publish my work and I know my customers have really showed their appreciation; any artist loves some positive feedback! I will definitely be keeping my past work in the shop and my beloved characters (more about them below) alive. One never knows when they will embark on a new adventure.

One of my first greeting card ideas had given birth to Adele (the Paris Rain card). I received such a strong response to her image I went on to create more artworks and more of a story around her. Now I have created many cards starring Adele and her cat, Henrí for The Nancydraws Shop, she has her own Twitter feed (@Adele_18th) and Pinterest board.

Percival Featherington III is another character that my fans fell in love with, so I gave the people what they wanted. I have enjoyed thinking in the voice of this feisty character, born and bred in NYC. You may also find him on Twitter and Pinterest:

I've been interested in drawing and making things for as long as I can remember. I'm glad my interests and expertise have led me to Etsy, it is such fun coming up with scenerios for my characters to star in.
