Today, Nancy tied the knot. Appropriate I thought to add this invitation to the blog. I put it together for the host of Nancy’s shower, Shalon (who you may remember was married last year). We wanted to do something that made it simple for guests to RSVP and find their way to the location easily [...]
A Krazy Kanuck
In the fall I had a call from an old friend and work-mate, Brian. He was in a jam, and needed a speedy graphic for his team—the “Krazy Kanucks”—for the Phoenix 12 Hours of Fury race. I managed to source a vector from iStock that I could easily change up to match his sketch. A [...]
Punch Drunk Wedding
Over the summer two wonderful people tied the knot: Isaac & Monique. They are film and music enthusiasts to the core, and had some fantastic ideas for their wedding invites and reception ‘guestbook’. When Isaac suggested a postcard styled after the Punch Drunk Love poster as an invite, I immediately loved the idea. I hadn’t done [...]
Robin & Steve: Wedding Invites
My sis-from-another-miss, Robin, is getting married this summer. She contacted me in the fall about the possibility of putting together the wedding invites for her big day. We got together, chatted about options, budget and design. She shared that her wedding colours were a deep purple, black, white and silver. She was looking for something traditional [...]

She is blogging about it, and is well on her way to running a marathon in Honolulu this December. Basically, she’s an inspiration to me. A little history on Jen: she was the first friend I had [...]
Shalon & Alfredo Wedding Invites

They’ve been printed and sent out, and as promised, I stopped by her house to snap some images of the finished product. After they were printed, (by Complete Printing in Calgary Alberta) Shalon added the rhinestone two-prong fasteners & sent [...]

In addition to pianos, he can also work on furniture (antique, custom or otherwise). A kind and talented man, Gord also has a very sweet daughter. She asked if we could put together a postcard [...]

I was fortunate enough to work on the album art for her (previewed January in this post). Below are some images of the finished product, as promised. These were printed by the wizards [...]

Thank you to Lee at Warwick Printing here in the Bridge for printing these posters on about an hour of notice, they made it to Janelle in time to dress up some telephone poles. Also, [...]
Reminded of Violet
As I’ve been switching over to the portfolio-blog structure, I’ve misplaced a few old files. I’m glad that tonight I came across this little vintage collage I did for my Grandma Violet, the inspiration behind Violet De Vine. I’ve been thinking of her a lot lately, and thought I would share it.
