Final Retro Fairy
So the vector portion of the Retro pin-up fairy is complete and I’ve moved on to the final distressed design. This all hinges on Google Translate giving me good french, so I am really hoping that I have the right phrase… Anyways, I played with a handful of type layouts, two of the ‘close but ...
Retro Fairy (progress)
I’ve been working more on the Retro Fairy pin-up t-shirt design since last I posted, going for a little more art nouveau with the classical pin-up allure. Added the stockings (not shown I tried stripes instead of the dots but Chad and I both agreed they were too dark), the garter and frills, the new ...
Retro Fairy
I’ve been a little inspired to make a green fairy 2-color shirt design for myself and some friends. This is day one, with maybe 1.5 hours in. Using a ton of super classy/beautiful pin-up references, lots of Mucha hairstyles too. Expect considerably more texturing for that aged, vintage look…I’ll have to come up with some ...
how2heroes: drinks
I’ll go ahead and update some sweets tomorrow–tonight I’m breaking in my new merhorse flask and admittedly have alcohol on the brain, so here are my two favorite drink photos that I took while working for how2heroes in 2009/2010. Both videos were shot with Mr. Greg Rossi, quite possibly The Most Interesting Man in the ...
how2heroes: savory
Seeing as I don’t really have a photography section on my site anymore, I’ve decided to put some of my favorite how2heroes.com photos on the blog. I’ll break them down into Savory, Sweet, and Drinks, for your viewing pleasure. All of these photos I took from fall 2009-spring of 2010 at restaurants, in homes, on ...
Victoria Falls
Way overdue! Here is a tiny smattering of some of the photos I took at Victoria Falls in Zambia, South Africa, on the last two days of my Africa trip. I meant to upload these ages ago, but the small design projects piled up and I love showing as many types of art as possible. ...
Princeton, MA
These are actually from November, but I always like to take a smattering of photos when we visit my boyfriend’s family in central MA–these are from Thanksgiving. They just got a new puppy, Ada, and they have their farm with sheep, chickens, cats, llamas, and seasonal turkeys. Always picturesque. This is Luna, the most petite ...
Merhorse Flask!
So I’ll admit that one of the few things I’ve always wanted but NEVER got for the holidays/birthday was my own stainless steel flask. I don’t drink often (for a twenty-something) and when I do it is usually a Gin & Tonic at an affordable and agreeable bar setting, but enough was enough so when ...
M Design Boutique (2)
Showing off some of the progress for the M Design Boutique logo that I’m making for my friend, Melissa. Feedback from the previous round was that the flame “i” was cool, but not clearly enough a flame, and that the bayberry icon was pretty cute. A fan of the green and reds too. Here’s what ...
Endangered Alphabets
For the holidays, I created a rough Endangered Alphabets press kit proposal for the father, Tim Brookes, the founder of the Endangered Alphabets Project. The project has its own website here. I wanted to create something that was still close to a blank canvas for him, so that he could see the physical idea and ...
