Yummy Illos

This is a poster i did the illustrations for recently and I was so happy with the way it turned out. It is still yet to be released {obviously, the client still has to put in the copy}, but i had so much fun with this project and wanted to share.

Too Sweet

At work we are promoting a showing of The Shining at a nearby Jail on Friday the 13th. My design idea wasn't exactly scary but I enjoyed illustrating anyway. I'm going to rent this movie, because it's probably been about 10 years since I've seen it and i'm super intrigued.

1929 Indian

A friend of mine is in a band called 1929 Indian, and she asked me to Art Direct the band's cd artwork. We decided to go into a dream / surreal-esque direction and a friend of mine, Sean, shot what was in my mind. Ruth is in the band and is also the girl in my dreams;) This was a really fun project in so many ways. I made the starfish headpiece with a few friends and also laced up those branches. I'll be sure to post you an album when it's out.

Hope you like. x

Crafty Invite

I recently designed this invite for a lady who wanted a crafty, original design. I also did their ceremony cards and hope someone else sees these and asks me to do another one. So much fun.

Whiskey Food Co.

A friend of mine recently asked me to design a 'food co.' logo for him. I love when friends are open to my ideas, because he didn't have a name in mind and if I had a food label, this is what I might call it. We both know cooking isn't exactly my forte, so I'm living vicariously through him. Yummy sauces and jams and the like will be wearing this label and I'm pretty happy with it.

In Bloom

Recently I was asked to do some props for a photo shoot with my friends at Abicus for a local newspaper called Reverb. It's a pretty rad magazine and I was incredibly honored. The really amazing part of this was to see my sketches become a reality, with the help of the fabulous Jaime Brassil, our lovely models Ruth and Mitch {of horselove fame} and of course, the crew here at NDD HQ. The issue comes out on the first of November, I'll scan some pages and show you next week how it all turned out. I think we ended up having ten really great shots in the end!

Paper Hair Inspired

Jen, you're amazing. This we know. So when I saw your latest paper hair project, I couldn't help but be inspired. So, I took some flowers and created a hair piece for my sister in law, Rebecca. Isn't she lovely? The light was delish and we ended up playing in a garden until the mozzies decided to run us out. So, this is my dedication to you.

eye spy...

The idea came from my friend Amelia, to make custom eye charts with friends and family names. They are for sale at her store, Willows, and also on etsy. Custom made eye charts where you choose the color, the flourish at the bottom and the words. Wish me luck!

Sea Shells

Hello lovely(ies). I've been off for a while with my beautiful brother and cousins and avoided any computer for about 3 weeks. Glad to be back though;) I wanted to share a piece of artwork i made over the holidays. It's a bit of a tribute to the sea meeting the sky... Hope you had an equally amazing holiday.

Floralia and Therapy

This is a label I designed recently for a woman who does it all. A massage therapist and aromatherapy guru, she has a line of oils we are branding and one really good thing about doing design for trade in this case is my hunched little back will be getting really happy really soon. ;)

*

When Jen and I met it was on a grassy field on a sunny day about 9 years ago...She has been a constant source of inspiration and a delight to have in my life, even now as we are separated by a large and beautiful sea... S is for sexy stilettos and stockings and stitching. Something we both do alot of.
