BABY PRINTS

Yesterday I attended my good friend Bethany's baby shower. Hands down it was the most beautiful shower I have ever been to in my entire life.  As my gift for the baby girl, I made two pieces of art to hang in her nursery.

 

 

 

CHRISTMAS IN JULY

Now is the time when all the PhotoCard companies are asking for design submissions for their Holiday 2012 collection. For this first round of designs,  I decided to submit two of my original designs to Minted.  Next week I will finish working on the remaining two designs and submit those to PhotoCardDirect (where my Hanukkah card will be sold). Since a lot of companies ask designs to submit artwork, as a designer you are not allowed to submit the same design to multiple companies. I'm taking a gamble and hoping that at least one of these does well.  On the bottom right corner of my site, you will notice I included a "voting badge".  Feel free to vote for my designs directly on the Minted website that way.

 

(a little fun fact: they provide you with a wide variety of "photos" to use on your design layout... I always for some reason feel silly coming up with the "fake" family names though?)

CROSSFIT LOGO

A friend of mine is a personal trainer and has decided to open up a mobile crossfit gym (so cool, right?) and has asked me to design a logo for her new business. Designing a logo for a "gym" definitely took me out of my comfort zone of what I am used to... aka cutsie stationary and invitations.  I had to get out of the mindset of "cute" and "sweet" and think more along the lines of "tough" and "manly". 

There was a lot of back and forth... and a lot of different versions. But in the end, the below design was what was selected and I am very pleased with how it turned out. It has been a fun project to be a part of, the only thing I am bummed about is the fact that she and her new company are across the country!

The business cards for her and her business partner are below.  Next up, I will be assisting in designing the wrap (artwork) featured on their trailer and t-shirts. 

SHEEP DREAMS - AVAILABLE FOR SALE!

My Sheep Dreams art print is finally on sale on the Minted website! Check it out here!!!
I'm am so excited to have my print on sale and I love how they paired my print with a few others from their nursery art collection.

BUSINESS CARDS

Is it time for a new look? I am having a hard time deciding on which design to use for my new business cards. Which look do you prefer?

MAY DAY
