Welp--it's still raining in SF! Eric and Annie are in sunny Florida for the week, but we're holding things down in this soggy city, getting things done and doing it well.  We've got doodles-a-plenty from Annie and Orlie; Four styles of Eric's Sequoia (Watercolor, Woodgrain, Pride, and a hand-pulled, black-and-white original--tree-huggers, take your pick!);  And... these guys:  And now, onto our latest lurves:  Jill Boy have we lost a lot of sand this winter! I took these pics last week and last month at Vicente Street. Scary stuff!! Orlie This past week I was commissioned to illustrate a portrait of a newlywed's cat...

  Obsession is such a strong word, so I will just say this: The 3 Fish Studios gang is very deeply appreciative of the sweet deliciousness of Cadbury Mini Eggs, which are finally in season. We are going through a lot of these teensy treats. Like: A lot. Like: It's probable Annie has a few in her pocket right this moment.  Chocolates in her pocket, paintbrush in her hand, she's still killing it with her daily doodle series. Check out our latest weekly update; follow along on Instagram and Pinterest; and find your faves for purchase in limited edition prints.  And...

Orlie is SO GREAT. If you've met her, you know that already, and if you haven't--well, you're gonna want to pop by the studio soon and say hello. For nearly three years now, she's been a 3 Fish fixture, making things run smoothly behind the scenes, and welcoming visitors to the shop. She is also a creative force to be reckoned with. Follow along on Instagram with her daily doodle project--#365orliegrams--and check out a few of her prints available on-site.  In the meantime--let's learn a bit more about this little life-brightening sprite, shall we? Hi Orlie! What's your role at...

The end of the week is when Orlie gets blendy. Look at this lady and her ombre inks! Big news this week is that Eric is *almost* done with a brand-spankin' new linocut, and--spoiler alert--it is going to be so, so, so good. Seriously--just looking at this plate all carved and inked up is enough to get the heart racing. We'll have more about the story behind the design soon--this old bendy tree really exists at the end of Noriega Street--but in the meantime feel free to ooh, ahh, and admire this craftsmanship.  Annie's going strong with her daily doodles--week...

Lookit our gal Orlie! She's been experimenting with all kinds of hues this week and coming up with some incredible combos.  Eric's finishing up a busy week with a very chill Friday afernoon: A bit of sun, a bit of chat, a bit of Billie Holiday radio, a bit of watercoloring... Both Eric and Annie are stoked about attending Snake, a new by Linda Fahey at the ever-awesome Rare Device. Opening tonight! Goooo check it out!  And now: Some things we lurve... Annie I am really enjoying making silly and rude wall-hangings in my ceramics class. Nothing makes me giggle...
