Janelle’s discs have gone to print, and she’s releasing “Free” on February 26th at the Cabin Cafe in Calgary, AB. 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.
Gord Moffatt Pianos
In the fall, Gord Moffatt (Father of my long time friend Jen) asked if I could put together a simple site for him along with a logo, vehicle decal and cards. I had worked with Gord in the past—he had commissioned me to put together his disc jacket for a song he had recorded for [...]
Janelle Miller—free and all heart
Janelle Miller (Singer/Songwriter) is a beautiful, honest and fearless musician I am fortunate to have met through family a few years ago. This year she recorded her first album (“Free”) and asked that I put together her album art. She asked for something quirky, bright, fun, and above all true to her personality. This is [...]
Shalon and Alfredo: Invite Preview
Shalon and Alfredo are having a fun, colorful Spanish-inspired wedding in the summer of 2011. They asked that I help them with their invites, and we’ve had such a great time putting these together. They’ve just gone to print at Complete Printing in Calgary, so I will be sure to post photographs of the finished [...]
‘Twas the season for type collage
I love the people I work with at Webtech/CUmarketing. With the help of HR, I was able to collect words, quotes and phrases to describe everyone. I really enjoyed doing these. Each one reminded me of what a full and eventful year this has been, and how fortunate I am to have landed in an [...]
Lash Envy Lethbridge
Laureen Kovach (the mother of the two cutie-pie kids I photographed in the fall) is a Certified Lavish Lashes Pro. She recently began doing Eyelash Extensions out of her home part-time. I volunteered to do a logo, business cards and a splash page for her new business. She does amazing work—I’ve had my eyelashes done [...]
Lost and Found
I’ve been doing some organization and backup of my computer here at home, and am slowly collecting 2010 projects to add to the blog. These three small projects were such fun to work on—they were done in the spring and summer. Jensine at Gypsy Frill asked me to put together a logo package for her. [...]
Personal cards for Mallory
I know, business cards are so analogue. Somehow though, I can’t help but really love them. I get pretty excited when someone comes to me looking for something outside of the standard templates that exist out there. These colourful personal cards were for a convention Mallory was attending in Texas. It sure beats scrawling all [...]
Say it with type
Last November I put together this typographical collage for my Mom’s 50th birthday. I quizzed family and friends for stories, words and quotes that captured my Mom. Once I had everything together, I combined them into this explosion of type and illustration (I selected and/or created vector art that was personal to her). The finished [...]
