Coming Soon to SilverChicks - Lil Beastees in Color


About the artist... Like most artists showcasing their work, a brief profile seems to be in order.... As far back as I can remember, I had a pencil in hand and was found feverishly drawing at my desk. Even at a young age my drawings were focused on animals and the natural world. This continues in my work today. Soon that pencil developed into a pen and the rest is history. Pen and ink is my medium of choice although I have worked with pencil, charcoal and watercolor. I like the precision and finality of the pen. It is a constant challenge as it leaves little room for error.

Over the years I have had my work shown in several galleries. Those galleries include the Coast Gallery in Laguna Beach, Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook, one-woman show at the Grand Galleria in Escondido and a "9 Live For Cats" show at Gallery 21 at the Spanish Village Art Center in San Diego, which Partially Benefited the Feral Cat Coalition. I also participated in an open studio tour while living in Monterey and several shows for the Escondido Art Association.

My newest Project with my company, SedaInk, was inspired by my experiences as a mother to two young boys. I also wanted to create a more sophisticated design on children's apparel that would also be fun to wear..... and the concept of Lil Beastees was born. Wild and domesticated animals are created in pen and ink illustrations and then silk screened on high quality children's tee shirts. My hope is that both children and adults will enjoy these unique designs. Within each Lil Beastees, you will find a concealed heart... Your little one may need to assist you in the discover. Enjoy! -Alison Seda
