Weddings are in the Air

I've been working on a wedding set for a friend all summer and now that most of the details have gotten "locked down" I'm glad to post these save-the dates I just created for her. I was so excited that I haven't even gotten the go head for them but wanted to share with you all! Also I have been working diligently on a new series of paintings and will soon have an exhibit at The Stone House Gallery, Fredonia, KS that starts November 5, 2012!

Stick around to see some sneak peeks of the work and more on Julie's wedding! I will also soon be posting tons of things I will be creating for my sisters wedding that is in May (2013)!! Lots and lots to stay busy with!

Turning 4!!!!

Raeden is turning 4! A construction birthday is on the way!

Up and Coming

I've been really working on staying active on this blog! Keeping everyone updated as much as possible while everything else is going on can be hard, but I hope that everyone who does look on here has liked what they've recently seen!

I've been working on some new invitations and thought I would give you guys some previews:

Kynlee is turning 2! Luau themed birthday party for this little girl!

Ashely is getting married! I created a very contemporary double sided program for the big event! Lots of font's and a little bit of color.

Amazing Inspiration

As I'm getting my students underway I have been parousing my artwork and found this one.

Yes it has been posted on here previously, but I have been feeling a bit nostalgic lately and I created this piece for one of the most amazing woman I have had the great pleasure of working under Marjorie Schick. If you are not familiar with her work you should definitely look into her. She transformed the art of jewelry itself!

Here are a few images of her work.

Kelsey's Turning 6!

Jason's niece is turning 6 soon and she had to have Brave invitations! Hope that they are a hit!

Baby Shower....Woodland Creatures theme

Ive been working on a Woodland Creature themed baby shower invitation and so far this is what I've got! So far nothing has been chosen but I'm partial to sample #1.

Bridal Shower!

Here are some new samples that I made for a bridal shower that is coming up! Hope you guys enjoy. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested in any kind of artwork or invitations.

Journal in the works!

Busy week already! Swapping IMac's in my office, fortunately it's an upgrade swap!, working on some bridal shower invitations, and starting to layout the fall courses. I have been investigating the problem I have with getting my students to work in the sketchbooks. So far I've looked into these different creative writing journals. I think they're so inventive and I'm hoping, fingers crossed, that I can get the students inspired by creating a similar "journal".

HERAKUT

I just stumbled upon this amazing artwork. It's actually 2 artists that have merged together to create their name.

Last month I had a healthy debate with a friend who has decided to pull away from the internet to aid his creative mind. I wholeheartedly disagree with this approach. It’s a gift of the times that we live that we’re able to not only inspire and be inspired, but easily collaborate.
Hera and Akut (better known as Herakut) exemplify this synergism for me. While I have no idea what they accomplish individually, I think that what they create together is difficult to beat.

A sneak preview of some of the new pieces. I'm leaning towards a new series with similar works. Hope you like!
