Happy To Be Of Service
So a customer sent me a pic the other day of my jigsaw puzzle, BOOK NERD actually framed and hanging in her office at the Fulton County Juvenile Court in Atlanta, Ga. It must get tense, deciding the fate of young people all day. Her staff worked on it during their meetings.
Working on a puzzle relaxes me and I hope working on BOOK NERD helped to relax them, too. I’m honored that they matted and framed it afterwards. And so beautifully too! Thank you Yolanda Johnson, Esquire.

Jiggy’s Spotlight is on…Moi
Well, my turn finally came around and Jiggy Studio has cast it’s spotlight in this direction. Actually, I made this video way back last Summer. It was hot and the fans were going. See the paper waving about on the critique board? But Jiggy’s founder has a background in marketing. She knows how to plan ahead.
Just click the arrow and get those deets on yours truly.
I DO love to talk so they had to cut about a third of it. But if you want to see the full video and lots more art, click here.
Thanks Jiggy!
Oprah, Jiggy Puzzles & Me
Oprah could sue me for the image I’ve created here but how could I resist shouting from the rooftop about JIGGY PUZZLES making her Holiday Gift List for 2022?
Family puzzle night gets a major upgrade with JIGGY STUDIO puzzles. Featuring images created by contemporary female artists, JIGGY brings a fresh new vibe to the jigsaw puzzle game.
We’re not your grandma’s puzzles, that’s for sure!
My three offerings, LAURIE, ROSA and PUMP are available now in the JIGGY STUDIO. And thank you Oprah for the gracious shout-out.
Happy puzzling!
Me + Jiggy Studio
Our partnership continues, me and JIGGY PUZZLES. After HEATWAVE was featured as their August Puzzle of the Month, they presented me with another fine opportunity.
Adding another layer to their cake, JIGGY has launched JIGGY STUDIO, a boutique marketplace showcasing the art of 30 diverse female artists from all over. And they offered your girl a seat at the table.
Here are THREE new 500-pc. puzzles by moi that are available for purchase on the JIGGY STUDIO site.
First, there’s ROSA. I named her after my mother, the jigsaw puzzle queen! The origins of this piece go way, way back and she’s made more than a few appearances throughout the years but this I believe is her finest hour.
And PUMP. The background is a photograph I took in Harlem, NY almost twenty years ago and the Jimmy Choo-inspired high heel I tweaked from our 2022 summer note card series. I love repurposing, putting old art and photographs together and creating NEW art. That’s my jam.
LAURIE began as a t-shirt illustration a few years ago. Just a head, I added a body and a great coat before dropping it to an image of my home town, Chicago, shot by sgcreative. Fall was always my favorite time of year in the Windy City. And yeah. I’ve got a thing for sunglasses.
I’ve just submitted new art for two more puzzles, hopefully in time for production before the holidays. And guess what? HEATWAVE is coming back too! If you missed her last August, you’ll have another chance to purchase her soon.
HEATWAVE
I’m very excited to be a part of JIGGY PUZZLES. Their effort to promote female artists from around the world and provide another outlet to showcase our work is a tremendous blessing. It’s an honor to be one of JIGGY STUDIO‘s inaugural 30.
Each puzzle from the STUDIO is packaged in super-lux sustainable packaging and includes specially formulated puzzle glue to keep and frame your masterpiece. So, if you’re starting to think about the holidays, come on over to JIGGY PUZZLES. I’m sure you’ll find something that will make the absolute perfect gift for that puzzler on your list.
HEATWAVE Presentation
We’re Unpacking Heatwave.
It’s a HEATWAVE!
Remember the JIGGY PUZZLE contest I entered last year? I submitted HEATWAVE and made it all the way to the finals—with the help of many of you who voted for her. And although we didn’t make the top six selected to become part of their 2022 product line, something told me it wasn’t the last I’d heard from them.
Well guess what? There’s another line. The JIGGY PUZZLE CLUB! And they’ve licensed HEATWAVE as their puzzle of the month for AUGUST 2022! Let me tell you, I couldn’t be more pleased. JIGGY PUZZLES is a female-founded company with a varied and diverse line of high-quality jigsaw puzzles featuring artists from around the world. I really like being a part of that.
I’m a sucker for packaging so you know I’m digging this cute little box, the cool bag, and the poster too. There’s even a tube of glue, just in case you might want to make it permanent. I have a friend who decorates her garage with finished jigsaw puzzles. It’s really a thing!
HEATWAVE is available ONLY DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST on JIGGY’s website so follow the link here and see just what the JIGGY PUZZLE CLUB is all about! Happy puzzling!
