Curious to follow up on the couple who commissioned custom portraits
as the groom portrayed as Puss in Boots and bride portrayed as Sleeping Beauty/Little Red Riding Hood/Cinderella, I stumbled upon a video of their ceremony in France featuring my illustrations and also including a table card of Puss in Boots by my favorite illustrator, Fred Marcellino!

It gives me so much delight to see the fruits of one's labor. 
I have grown fond of Letterpress printed paper creations delving into this current stationery realm. The aesthetic allure of seeing the transference from a hand drawn image to a digitally enhanced translation to a tactile pressed, published finished piece.

***************Spring/Early Summer***************

In April of 2o11, I relocated to Park Slope to fulfill a new position at a friend of Serimony:
Lion in the Sun
While here, I have been engaging in new design work and having fun with merchandise display.

Some of my first work was laying out graphics for wedding invitations:

During the week, I help out at Lion in the Sun's studio in Gowanus, PostScript Brooklyn.
A design studio that features an exclusive line of custom invitations by local Brooklyn artists.
Lately, I've been delving into online advertisements for Design websites that feature lovely paper, invitations, photos and our line!
Please click on the corresponding links to peruse through each website :)
