our church partners with a non-profit organization called royal family kids' camp every year to host a camp for foster kids. its a week of camp completely free to the kids who are chosen by having their social workers request a spot. its basically to pour love out on kiddos who have been through serious abuse or neglect. this is an invite i made for a formal event thanking all the people who donated time or finances towards this years camp.
i've always thought i would like to illustrate a kids book. actually i've had people tell me i should too. anyway, i was just playing around with some fun illustrations last week and thought i'd share.
anyone authoring a book and need a designer? ;)
inspired by this song by misty edwards:
You won't relent until You have it all
My heart is YoursI'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this loveCome be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
so... i'm in week 19 of our "52" project on flickr. a group of friends and myself have decided to keep our creative juices flowing every week by posting 1 type of art [photo, painting, design, etc] to flickr that we created during that week. yes, a year of art. we figure it helps keep those of us who do art for a living enjoying our craft and doing non-job art. and for those who don't do art for a living, it is an avenue in which they can grow their skills as well.
want to follow along? [there are many other - much more talented artists - including my fiance - in our group] 52 FLICKR PROJECT
i designed this recently for one of my good friends who is tying the knot! we're throwing her a shower and i volunteered to make these invites....
this is the coolest thing i've seen in a while. LOVE it. wish i had thought of it. ok, maybe not, but i'm sure glad someone out there put the time and energy into figuring this out. check out the link for all the details on how they sorted it...
so i've recently been designing a monogram for a couple getting married next spring. this is the monogram they decided on. i hand drew all of it, except the a's which is a typeface. this design will be used throughout their wedding - like on small bottles of wine, which they will help make themselves and hand out as their wedding favor. more to come...
i got this request from a client today:
"I find that the logo on the back is too large. I would shrink it a bit, and move it up."
wait, WHAT?? make the logo SMALLER? not bigger? SMALLER? wow. i just had to record this moment. i never knew this day would come.
