Being sick blows. ‘Tis the season for a cold, a cough & a sniffle. I’ve been under the weather & I know I’m not alone. This one is dedicated to all of you who are sick & feeling a bit blue. I hope we all feel better soon! If you’re healthy & well, then share this with a friend who’s under the weather & feeling down. It’s bound to cheer them up! Here’s to us all fighting the winter blues!

This Valentine’s Day I cooked up something sweet for you to share with your loved ones! Whether it’s for someone you love or simply someone who makes you happy, make sure you let them know that you’re thinking of them today! It “cannoli” bring a smile to their face!

Bust out some beers & party snacks, it’s game day!! My home team the Denver Broncos are going up against the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl 50!! My nails are painted and I am SO ready to root, watch & party with my friends! Raising my beer to all you football lovers out there! Cheers to a great game & happy watching!

My favorite drink has two names depending on the coffeeshop that you order it from. Whether you call it a Gibraltar or a Cortado, let’s just drink & enjoy some coffee! Cheers coffee lovers, this one’s for you! PS I have mad respect for you baristas out there. Making latte art is a challenge, even with colored pencils! I tried my best but simply can’t compete with your talents! Keep on pouring your hearts out ;)

For the love of sushi! You may recall a couple years ago I made a new year’s resolution to eat healthier and I posted a sushi animation as motivation. Well, years have passed and I needed another reminder. Good thing eating healthy can still be fun! Here’s to a yummy & healthy 2016! 

PS to friends who are watching in Japan, I hope you find my hidden message to you! Thanks for the inspiration! ;)

My heart is saddened by the recent attacks on Paris. I’ve been traveling & away from my studio since the tragedies took place last Friday. Over the past week I’ve been comforted by the acts of love & unity in a moment of hate & evil. I created this piece as a way to send my love & condolences to Paris. Your unity is admirable and, as you’ve proven before by the strength of your country, you will triumph over evil! My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Love, Rachel

A special note to my followers - please know that I care equally for all who are lost in attacks around the world. This animation was made out of my love for someone I know who was directly affected by the bombings in Paris. In creating this piece I am not ignoring the other countries & people who are being attacked.

Thank gourd it’s Halloween week!! This animation was inspired by a pumpkin carving party that I went to over the weekend. Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without friends & jack-o’-lanterns! As I prepare my Halloween animation I made this teaser post to ask you: “witch” are your favorite Halloween traditions & what are the best spookiest things!? Let me know and I may just use your suggestions in my next haunting creation!! Look for it on Halloween morning! 

Well looky what we have here! In celebration of my favorite movie trilogy, here’s a tribute to Back To The Future! 30 years ago Doc Brown and Marty McFly traveled in time and landed on today’s date, October 21st 2015! Great Scott, that means we’re in the future!! This is heavy. I hope you enjoy my little creation, and since your parents probably watched it, too….say “hi" to your mom for me! Now make like a tree and leave…a comment! ;)

One of my favorite places is the farmers market!! I love strolling through, sampling all the yummy food and shopping to support local farms & businesses. Every single day farmers all around the world, including my big brother at Jubilee Hill Farm, are working hard to make sure we have the opportunity to eat healthy. So this is my way to say “thank you” to all the hardworking farmers out there! With this animation I encourage you all to shop at your local market & support your local farms! PS Keep an eye out for my next animation where I’ll be cooking up my favorite fall dish with these 4 ingredients that I picked up today ;)

Goodbye Summer & Hello Fall! To say farewell to summer barbecues & welcome autumn leaves I decided to make you one of my favorite fall crafts, the leaf burger! It’s pretty easy & fun to make if you can find the right color of leaves. Just because summer’s over doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun! Here’s to a bright, colorful & creative fall! PS The #leafburger is inspired from one of my favorite artists, brockdavis! Look him up, I’m sure you’ll love him too!
