2013, The Year in Review

The website is in the process of a big update showcasing some of the great projects I had the pleasure of working on in 2013. Here's a small sample of some of the work on it's way to the site - projects that have kept us happy (and busy!) over the past 12 months. 

Here, we look back fondly and look forward with much anticipation...

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.

The Labourer getting some Love

opening soon in Toronto,
a "kitchen/bar representative of our morals, values and relentless dedication to food and drink"

Branding, design and creative direction by Courtney Wotherspoon, in close collaboration with friends and owners Angus Bennett and Justine Fowler. A match made in heaven, frankly.
Toronto Life gave us a little taste today:

and I can't wait for more...

See the site here

New is good.

After months of planning and about a million and one emails between myself and my web guru, Jashar Awan, the new site is up, running, and ready for your viewing pleasure!

New sections include design+lifestyle and interiors work, as well as a tight portfolio facelift in the art+illustration department.

Jashar did a stupendous job of programming the site and making my, often-too-particular-vision come to life.
Spend some time, take a look around and let us know what you think!

Birthdays, Babies and Butterflies

Birthday, New Baby and All Occasion cards (with vintage butterfly confettii!) now available at the stunning Advice From A Caterpillar in Toronto and through Courtney Wotherspoon Creative Studio.
