Buffalo in Love Designs

Going through my files on Procreate and came across this portrait I did of Ann Philippone Musician. You may know Ann as the pianist from Nietzsche's, where she performs every Sunday. She’s also a teacher- in fact, she taught me piano for nearly 10 years! She’s ultra talented and so much fun, I’m grateful to have her as a friend. 🎶🎹

A custom anniversary card based on an autocorrect mishap - “you’re my favorite” became “you’re my fajita” 😂🌮❤️

Moms can definitely double as circus conductors. 🎪

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and I’m still accepting custom orders! Etsy listing here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/678321144/custom-card-hand-drawn?click_key=289d8e59d5213e26c943ef6975694bd8957eabae%3A678321144&click_sum=4d1ead7b&ref=shop_home_feat_2

Really enjoyed working on this family portrait for some friends of mine. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready for spring, but I do love fall. 🍁🍂

As I said yesterday, I am taking a break from custom work, BUT I still want to share some of the designs I’ve worked on over the past several months, including this custom wedding invitation order. The couple wanted Wes Anderson’s ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ to be incorporated because it was the movie they saw on their first date. 🏨💕 They also wanted their cats to be included as well - can you spot them?

Taking a little break from custom work, BUT prints, stickers, and the usual Buffalo in Love cards are still available on Etsy. Thanks for your patience and understanding! 💕

The latest from Paramore has been part of my regular rotation the past month. 💫 This band is consistent and they seem to just get better with every album they release.

Looking for a custom valentine at the last minute? I’ve got you covered. 😉 I have space for a couple more custom cards that will be done in time for Valentine’s Day! If you’re interested visit my Etsy shop (link below) or email [email protected]. 💌

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away, so here’s a little reminder that I create custom cards, as well as custom couples portraits (OR a custom card with a little portrait, like this one). 💌 Link to my shop here: etsy.com/shop/buffaloinlovedesigns

I recently became aware of the Mom and Pop Web Stuff Inc. Community Board and blog when they shared an interview with Akasya Crosier. I’m so excited to now have a feature on their site as well! Read my interview with them here: https://www.momandpopwebstuff.com/2023/01/13/weathering-the-sht-storm-buffalo-in-love-designs/

Mom and Pop Web Stuff is another Buffalo-based business that offers website design, marketing tips, and more. You can book a free consultation with them via their site if you’re interested! It’s not everyday that you have a business willing to promote other local businesses via their platform, so thank you Mom and Pop. ☺️

Happy Monday, here’s a goofy lil comic I made over the weekend. 💬💕
