Our good friends Becky and Sean were looking for a creative invitation for their ‘picnic at a winery’ wedding. They loved using the vintage tandem bike to illustrate thier marriage. The outcome of our first meeting was that the invite would be a 11×17 poster. Due to shipping concerns, we reduced the size. We don’t feel this hurt the design one bit. The tandem clip art was combined with an original tree illustration and typesetting by Tim. Fonts used are Brothers from Emigre, and Kavaler Kursive. We love the casual illustration, messages within the art, and the overall feel of the final invitation.
Another fun multi-card wedding invitation for a Hawaiian wedding with a mainland reception. Erin and Tim were looking a modern beach style in blue and green. I really like like the old pirate map font, Dalliance from Emigre, It worked great with the other elements. I hope Erin and Tim have great wedding, cheers.
Another baby, another opportunity to design a fun card. Mikayla is having a baby and Greta, Maja and Agatha are hosting a shower for her. Inspiration for the card and shower is ‘modern with a touch of whimsy’. 5-1/2″ square, two-sided card, with nest/egg/heart illustration. Calvino is the font used.
The 32nd Cardiff Ice Cream Social is tomorrow, May 3rd. Thought I would post something about it since Greta and I have been buried in the planning if the I.C.S. Actually Greta has been neck-deep and I am just here to support her efforts, she’s amazing. The art above is one small part of the big event and I wanted to put something up to thank the artist. A few months ago Ferris Plock agreed to donate his talents to the I.C.S. I knew of him through his shirt illustration for Aleks’ surf shop so I asked if he could donate his amazing skills to our event. He didn’t think twice and despite being super busy with gallery openings, Ferris and Kelly Tunstall collaborated and delivered a fun and unique illustration. Thanks Ferris and Kelly, everyone loves the shirts. THE I.C.S. is from 10am-3pm Saturday, May 3rd, at Cardiff School. drop in for a scoop. Oh yeah, shirts will be available at the I.C.S. for only $10, more than 50% of sale goes to Cardiff schools.
Business card for MajaJane, aka; the purselady, sister, sister-in-law, aunt. Maja sews some amazing things and needed a business card to hand out when stopped with, “Wow! Where did you get that purse?” She created the bird illustration on her sewing machine. Then we combined it with some modern typography and colors that complement her modern style. MajaJane has a blog too and sells her stuff online at Etsy. Yeah Purse!

Poster and flyer for a Save The Waves Coalition fundraiser held at 111 Minna in San Francisco, March 2007. Aleks Petrovitch, of Aqua Surf Shop, painted the pelican art and wave illustration. Save The Waves, is an amazing group dedicated to preserving endangered surfspots around the globe. Check out www.savethewaves.org to see how you can help save endangered surf spots around the world.
“A barn?” Yes, a barn. This logo was inspired by the location of their office. The barn on the owners property was converted into the Peacegood headquarters. I have not actually seen the barn, nor did I actually get to create a sign for the barn (photoshop). I believe having an office in a barn is unique and must be celebrated, hence the rooster and barn-red background.
