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.

Falling for the Drake (Market)

Stop by the Drake Market this Saturday October 15th for a taste of spoonstudio....

Original drawings, paintings, cards...pieces you've had your eye on AND all new, never-before-seen work, making it's debut. Something for everyone (including free goodies!)

Fall for Drake. Fall for Art.

congratulations

A pretty Congratulations to two of my best buddies, Devin & Darcy, who recently got engaged in Italy!
I did this little number up for their impromptu engagement party...nothin' says I love you like hand-sewn typography in flag form!

Step 3: Shower Them with Gifts

I'm feeling inspired by the beautiful colours and textures of the season.
Here's part of a piece I did last October, in honour of fall. See the final published piece here.
Enjoy the bounty-a pile of pumpkins!
