M&M Wedding

Meg & Mike, the sweetest couple, asked me to work up a whole graphical package for their summer wedding. It was a real pleasure figuring out which elements represented each of them separately then worked together as a whole package. 

The main double-sided wedding invite contained a mixture of flora from the bride's and groom's respective region mixed with some from their wedding location, Ithaca NY.

The back of the invite was maybe the funnest part of the project. This hand-written font I worked up really seemed to fit the style of the couple and the mood of their farmer's market, DIY wedding.

Many of the elements I used in the main invite were then used for name and table cards. Here's a good portion of them all laid out above.

Meg & Mike chose passages (sometimes lyrics) to accompany my illustrations on the table cards. 

The illustrations made their way onto name cards the guests could match up with their assigned table. *Photo courtesy Anna Simonak. 

The groom and I even brewed up a special champagne-style beer for the wedding and I hand-cut a stencil and painted the bottles with its fitting batch name.

The holiday card this year, featuring our real-life clothes and seemingly fake dog.

I whittled a collection of fruit and veg for my nephew. All hand carved from basswood with a Carvin’ Jack knife and lightly finished with a smooth sandpaper to preserve the faceted look of the knife cuts. Main body colors were applied with an airbrush using Vallejo Model Air paint. Details painted on by hand with brush. First real foray into carving and will be doing lots more.

Bird 12: Red-winged Blackbird

An east coast staple, always mistook these at first glance for the much more elusive Oriole in my homestate of Maryland. Cornell Ornithology via Wikipedia claims this may be "the most abundant and most well studied bird in North America." Go figure. 

Being from Maryland, this baseball season was the best anyone could have hoped for. Despite the Nationals having the best record in the league, my allegiances remain with the Baltimore Orioles. Tonight, they battle for the wild-card spot, so in support, I drew the new/retro logo that I'm quite fond of (glad to be over the lifeless bird silhouette). Go O's. 

Beautiful morning here in NYC. Some more poster work for the inimitable DJ Lani Love. Went for a dot instead of my (what's slowly becoming trademark) loose stipple patterning.

Bird One: Bufflehead

Kicked off the new bird-poster project in earnest today. I’ve a duck to show for it. Messing around with a few art styles and so far this is the one that is sticking. Not something I’ve really done before but I’m liking the direction. I especially like the slight caricature look of this guy while retaining that aviary nobility… Much more to come. This is 1/30 (I think).

BEATLES UPDATE!

I redid the Beatles print because I wanted it to be a little more get-able for folks, and this one's 60% less money. Also, it looks real great in black and white (with some nice texture), especially given the subject matter. Perfect for any BeatleManiac in your life. Get it in the shop!
