Wedding Table Placards

The lovely Sarah sent me a picture of how the table placards (previously posted here) were used in their wedding. You can see the New York City one right in front and the Atlanta one in the top left.

So lovely! I really like the flower arrangements too, so fresh and clean.

Thanks Sarah for sharing!

More written type...

Type Practice

I've been enjoying drawing type lately.I bought a bunch of metallic pens at Kinokuniya last week and draw all over a huge black sheet and some colored envelopes. Check it out.

And hooray! Here is a sneak peek of the invites I designed for my sister & her fiance. More to show after the wedding!

Sarah + Joe's Wedding Table Placards

January through March of this year, I was working on a project for a lovely couple Sarah and Joe. I found the couple through the site where I am also a vendor, 100 Layer Cake.

Sarah + Joe were looking for an illustrator to make table placards illustrating the numerous locations that they have visited when they were dating. Sarah + Joe were dream clients, so fun and so open to what I had to suggest. The couple gave me a list of places, foods & items that meant something to them for each city. To personalize it a bit more, I asked for a short 1-liner to add into the banner for each city. In the end, I illustrated 19 cities that would be used on their 19 tables at their wedding. Each city will be for one table and be posted for their guests to find.

Thanks again Sarah + Joe. I hope you had a wonderful wedding yesterday!

Rainbow City

Sorry for the lack of postings lately. I moved to Williamsburg with my boyfriend and have been pretty tied up with couch buying, Ikea trips, Bed Bath & Beyond trips. We have some painting to get done, but the dust is starting to settle around here.

We got out to see Rainbow City created by Friends With You + AOL at 30th street and 10th avenue. It comes down this Tuesday, so make a trip before it's gone forever. Here are some of the pictures I took.

This guy on their store's site is awfully cute too.

Conservatory Gardens

Last Friday, I had the chance to leave work early and do something 'inspirational.'
I went to the Conservatory Gardens up on E 105th Street in Central Park. It's really gorgeous there right now.

Unfortunately, my trip was shortened when of my drawings got pooped on. Lucky me, or rather, lucky drawing.
