Courtney and Trevor: an award-winning combination

(first post in over 5 months...for shame!)

Thrilled to announce the inclusion of our wedding invitation in the upcoming Coupe Design and Image Awards. On shelves this month, the Annual features work in all creative disciplines including design, illustration, art direction, advertising...and wedding invitations. 

Thanks Coupe-Mag!

I have yet to provide a glimpse at our wedding invitation, so here it is, on view for the first time. A lengthy process which has reaped some wonderful rewards. More posts to follow on process, but for now, please enjoy.

Oskar and Barbara do American Illustration

As I look back and see that all of my posts of the past 6 months or so have been type-related, I'm thrilled to be able to repost these two, in honour of their admission into the exclusive American Illustration Club. They are among my favourite pieces of the year, so I'm overjoyed to see them getting the recognition of the respected jury.
Look for the launch of the bound-to-be-beautiful book in November, and view all the winning images online.

Thanks AI!

Another Year, Another AI Party

American Illustration took New York by storm again this fall, celebrating some of the best images in the industry. I am honoured to have been included among such talent again this year - Kiersten Essenpries, Jordin Isip, Leif Parsons, Christian Northeast...you get the idea. The book looks fantastic.
And the party ain't so bad either!
See a great picture of the celebration in action on Kiersten's blog, you fail.

Can't wait 'til next year!

Selected!

I just found out that this Coldplay piece I did for SPIN was jury selected
to appear in the upcoming American Illustration Annual 28.

The Annual is published in November, but you can still get AI 27 which features work by talented friends Kiersten Essenpreis, Leif Parsons, and Ted McGrath (who also did the fantastic cover), among many others.

I'm thrilled to be included in another great annual alongside peers who inspire me to no end.
