These Siamese!

The new card for These Siamese, a DJ duo, came from the printer. Very pleased with the gold foil stamp quality. It gives a nice upscale but still fun feel.

Our wedding invite design’s 15 minutes of fame!

Check out this cool video about a modern day letterpress print shop. When he shows the invite he’s currently working on, you’ll see the first color of an invite design we just completed! It’s the purple one that’s in the preview image below and that he shows on the old press. Pretty awesome…

This card was created by combining a pencil drawing of the deer with an ink drawing of the flowers and plants digitally, and the color was also applied digitally. We love mixing hand-done and digital mediums!

Pen tool tutorials

Ever wonder how to create custom illustrations in Adobe Illustrator using the pen tool? I’ve just developed a 4-part series (don’t worry, they’re short!) of pen tool tutorials for my online class and thought I’d share them here. You can hear my dog barking in part two, but I think that’s a bonus! Be sure to watch them in order:

 

Drawing straight lines w/the pen tool:

This was a fun project to work on. It’s nice when you get to create a logo with markers rather than just digitally! Also, I highly recommend My Computer Guy for any technical needs you may have.
