Project: Wedding Invitation

This was done for Anne&Dan who will be getting married very very soon. The over all theme is two birds. These are two birds I illustrated. I don't know about other countries but in Japan they say that a person is tied to their destined one with red thread. We wanted incorporate that metaphor with the two birds tying the knot.
I am a big fan of paper, texture and interaction with all materials. This invitation was designed with three sections where the last section, the RSVP card and present card, is perforated so that it can be easily detached and sent back to the bride and groom to-be. The stock used in for this project was a soft white with a blush of beautiful sparkle. Only with a tilt in the light do you actually notice the sparkle. As for the wrap a translucent white with thready texture was used.
I really enjoyed this!!

Vietnam project

This was one of our first projects to take place overseas.
With Mind Gallery we were able to make this wonderful piece with the great people of KPMG.
My husband, Rob, and I came up with using the Vietnamese dress and patterns.
Then I came up with the overall design combining it with mosaic feel that Rob came up with.



But this is what happened when the people of KPMG and all the artist who were there to help combined forces!



I definitely had a lot of fun with this one!

TRIP TO VIETNAM

It's been so hectic that I have neglected my blog :( But out of the busy time my partner and I are getting a chance to go to Vietnam to work for a day and tour for 8 days. This will be a great opportunity to draw and learn a different culture. I am looking forward to it greatly! Plus, I love the food :) Yummmmm
