The Monsters, They Are a Changin!

       The Spiderbite Boutique was shut down for some time, though I opened it up intermittently when I felt the urge, but I've decided to come back full force now! And with my return I bring big and exciting improvements to all of my products.

       All of my journals, Nightmare Snatchers and Worry-Woolies alike, now contain more pages than  ever before and those pages are now multicolored and bright... oooOOOOooooOh! Aaaah!

So much glorious color in that paper!

       The Nightmare Snatcher journals still have their magical spell inside, but there is also a bookplate upon which the owner of the monster can claim the beast with a scribble of their name. Each bookplate maw matches the style of the book it's found inside:

       And as if that wasn't colorful enough I'm now using eco-felt (made from recycled plastic bottles!) in a variety of colors for the lips and appendages of these furry little monsters!Which leads me to the next and most exciting evolution of the Nightmare Snatcher journals... they now have ARMS! With little velcro paws to help them keep your worries, fears, and nightmares squeezed tightly inside their pages!

 

Hugmitten is looking for a hug!

I hope you like the improvements I've made on my monster friends! Stay tuned for more products and artwork! And if you are interested in special deals and updates on my work, please join the Impetuous Homeric mailing list! Don't worry we won't overload your inbox.

SALE INVENTORY RUNNING LOW!

My 2008 Inventory Sale is running out of well... inventory! I've already sold out of Crubbly, Hugmitten, Groulby, and Fribbler. There are only 4 styles left. Be sure to get them from my 'sale section' while they're still around because they're going fast! Last chance for a deal on your Nightmare Snatcher® journal purchase!

Special Edition Striped Nightmare Snatcher!

Here is the newest Special Edition Nightmare Snatcher® , the Hugmitten style with special black and white striped fur! Woohoo! Okay, so he came out a month ago, but I still think it bears mentioning. Available for purchase at my Etsy shop! As someone who prefers to work in pen & ink and scratch board, I'm partial to black and white. The black and white stripes also make me think of Tim Burton. Most of his movies seem to have creatures and costumes that have black and white stripes as seen below. From left to right all sporting their stripes: 'Vincent', Beetlejuice', Miss Spider from 'James and the Giant Peach', Katrina from 'Sleepy Hollow', and Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett from 'Sweeney Todd'.

It's Aliiiive!

Hello there! In case you haven't noticed I am jump-starting a blog here. Why? Well, I just thought I'd start one to keep people abreast of what I'm up to work wise.

Just in case you stumbled upon this blog by accident, as opposed to my badgering you into reading it, my name is Sarah Jane Evans. I am an illustrator, bookbinder, and the Owner/CEO/President/Founder/Laborer/Faux-fur Connoisseur for Spiderbite Boutique, home of the Nightmare Snatcher™ journals.

Check out my online shops if you have a minute:

So this blog will be for posting my sketches, new artwork, and new products for my online stores. Thanks for dropping by and I hope you'll come back and check out my work.
