Illustration Update

I realized this morning that I have not yet posted the final version of my Hickory Dickory Dock illustration. I shared a sneak peek earlier this year but now I am finally following up with photos of the final product. This is my favorite illustration of the series (4 so far). I like how the clock details turned out and want to try an even more complicated design next time.

Musical Book Cover

It has been a while since I have shared anything from work. Here is an early version of a book cover I have been working on this week. The client asked for a few changes so the final version doesn't look anything like this, but I prefer the color and texture of this one!

Pretty Passports

A friend and I are planning a trip to Europe for next year and a crucial part of the planning process includes finding the absolute cutest passport cover possible. I have my eye on this Map of Paris holder from Amazon:

If you are looking for something simpler, these sleek Amerileather holders come in too cute colors:

Or try a handmade find like this In Touch Clutch:

French Posters

I can get really excited about vintage French posters. This weekend I came across this booth at the Main Street Antique Show in Hendersonville, NC. South Pointe Gallery, out of Key West, acquires their pieces in fabulous condition from auctions and estates. All I had was my phone so I snapped a few phone pics (please excuse the low resolution).

Do You Play?

A recent flyer and poster I designed informing new students of available jobs as piano accompanists.

Wedding Letterpress

This weekend my cousin married a fabulous guy. To commemorate the date I created this letterpress print using wood block type and a rainbow roll in her wedding colors. Congratulations Ivy and Trevor. I love you guys!
