One thing I love about Savannah are all the little hidden courtyards and carriage houses. As if the houses on the street aren’t charming enough?!

New Savannah Notes are Finally Here!
April 11, 2013
If you’re local to Savannah, you may have spotted them already at ShopScad, The Tea Room, or La Paperie, but now you can also get your Savannah Notes online via The Ink Lab. I’ve mixed up the series a bit and revamped the packaging to include an eco-friendly kraft paper box. Each box includes 8 notes featuring my pen & ink drawings of Madison Square, Lafayette Square, Chippewa Square and the iconic Forsyth Park Fountain. Get yours here!
Hope y’all are enjoying a beautiful Savannah Spring!
Custom Wedding Venue Pen & Ink
October 25, 2012
There’s just something about this house in Rhode Island that speaks to me. I’ve never been there and it probably has something to do with the fact that it seems so isolated, perched over the beach. It’s a family home that opened its doors to a wedding in the back yard (talk about a backdrop) and I was lucky enough to draw it as a wedding gift for the bride & groom.

Jekyll Island Club Pen & Ink Drawing
July 25, 2012
In 1904 the Jekyll Island Club was referred to as “the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible club in the world,” according to Munsey’s Magazine. The Club still lives up to it’s grand title, this sketch a mere detail of the sprawling building and lush grounds. Click Here to read some of the fascinating history behind the Jekyll Island Club.
Original – SOLD

Harper Fowlkes Pen and Ink Drawing
February 27, 2012
Love love love the Harper Fowlkes House! Beautiful inside and out, and it’s been on my list to draw for ages. (my right hand is still crippled from all the last minute details applied last night) The original has been sold, but you can bet I’ll be offering some variety of prints in the not-so-distant future.

The First 12 days of 2012
January 12, 2012
So far…200 wedding invitations, 20 baby shower invitations, 14 engagement party invitations…2 custom pen & ink commissions from start to finish…5 trips to the post office (resolution: pick certain days to ship and stick to it)…and a quick trip to Florida for a dress fitting. A feverish pace, but if you believe that the stars have any say, I was doomed from the start.
The last custom ink of 2011
A custom pen & ink drawing of a home or garden makes for a very special gift. I still have time to ink a few drawings out before Christmas, but if you’re interested, please book soon. Remember, if you commission a drawing of an old family home, we can make archival quality prints for the whole family, and with a few quick edits to the original drawing, an elegant holiday card can be fashioned…(see below)
Kirby Family Home – Holiday Version – Savannah, Georgia
4×6 mini archival prints
Remember if you miss the cut-off date, I can always issue an attractive gift certificate that would be good for anything in theinklab. Please email heather@flyoungstudio.com to get on the list – or commission directly from my etsy shop.
I Love Drawing Historic Savannah Homes

It’s almost therapeutic to draw all the little details in Savannah ironwork. I really enjoyed pulling this one together.

Custom Pen & Ink Drawing of an Old Family Home
November 2, 2011
I love it when a customer commissions a custom pen and ink drawing and gives me a little back-story, history, or memory about the property. The slatted windows, the barn built by hand out back, the crooked little sidewalk…this house was loved.
so much so, that they couldn’t decide between black and white and color, so I made a hand-watercolored print in addition to the original sketch…
Ahhhh…red doors! I ADORE red doors!!! (though I doubt if my homeowners association would approve)
If you’d like to commission a drawing of your old family home, (and with the Holidays approaching, now is an excellent time), remember that I can make inexpensive archival-quality prints of Grandma’s house for the whole family….large or small, hand-watercolored or black and white, lots of options to choose from!
