Hello, friend! When I was young, I was so addicted to drawing that my brother would exploit me by selling me copy paper for 3 dollars a sheet. Now he is an economist and I am a starving artist. I also wonder how I had the money to buy such expensive drawing paper.

Phyllis & Dan

Wedding invitations for Phyllis and Dan's gorgeous wedding. This was a very ideal and seamless illustrator and graphic designer collaboration. Phyllis played the part of talented graphic designer + wedding planner extraordinaire + beautiful bride .. you can see some of the evidence below!

The raw images:

Letterpressed navy and red ink


My favorite part - blind embossed cloud pattern behind the copy and design. I've left out the embossing behind the balloons and figures.


The envelope design, also screened in navy ink
