Although I decided to close down my Etsy shop, you can still order animal products! Please reach out directly if you're interested in fun animal pillows, mugs or children's t-shirts. Featuring a couple of lemur designs, plover mama and baby, and a happy little hedgehog. There are also designs featuring an ostrich, llama, mouse or fox (oh. my!).

Thanks friends!

"Why'd He Steal Our Asteroid?"
Watercolor
10"x30"
2024

Now on view Spoke Art in NYC as part of the exhibit! On view through 11/2/24. Available for purchase online (link below).

So tickled to have another run at making a painting inspired by one of Wes Anderson's films--they're always a treat to dive into and spend a whole lot of time staring at. This panorama depicts a sweeping shot from "Asteroid City".

Hey friends!

Special announcement: I’m launching an Etsy shop! https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChristineAria?ref=shop_sugg
Simply called “Christine Aria”, the shop includes printed products that feature some of my original animal illustrations in watercolor. You’ll find T-shirts for Adults and Toddlers, baby onesies, pillows, fine art prints in a variety of sizes, and few more fun little items.

I’m still working on getting more products added (more baby products coming ASAP!) and squaring up some little details, but I wanted to do a soft launch NOW as shipping is getting close to the holidays.

Recommended purchase-by dates in order to receive your order by 12/25:
12/8 for Garments
12/12 for All the Other Stuff 🙂

A note about T-shirt Sizes: the sizing all says “Men’s” — these shirts are totally gender neutral; that’s a weird automatic setting I need to adjust. Just go with your heart and get the animal that calls to you 😉

Each day for the next week, I'll post the original watercolor painting of each animal + product list available for that critter.
One last thing: I'll take feedback, please! Reach out with questions, comments, what other animals you want to see featured on what products, and please PLEASE share with friends and family! It takes a village to raise a baby, including this little printed product baby.

Cheers, and thank you so much for your support! ❤

Need something fun to do while social distancing? is here for you. and I are launching a little project to connect folks stuck at home to artists, writers, musicians—folks who are pretty good at spending lots of time alone, and who know how to have a little fun with it. Tutorials by artists for everyone. Thanks to for partnering! Head to Creative Distancing to see the first tutorial, dropping 4/2 at 4pm CST. Expect a great variety of tutorials from an amazing selection of artists, twice a week.

Name that movie? Rewatching it at this moment and it’s still great.

“Etheline” and “You Don’t Love Me Anymore, Do You?”
