letterpress lately,

UD students are very lucky to have the Raven Press, a working letterpress with tons of type to work with. I am a monitor on Wednesdays and realize I want to put in some good time here before I graduate. Here are my endeavors as of late:

"Hello!" postcards. A collaboration with Justin Weber. We gave them to friends and Young Gun artists we loved in NYC a few weekends ago.

The beginnings of a new logo for StuArt - UD's student art organization.

Vintage Now - a new project celebrating the rebirth of the 1900's rich eras of fashion, design, and culture.

Apparel Design's Babushka family!

Aliona Doletskaya's Babuska take on the fashion's top designers for Vogue Russia November 2008!!!

peacock forest.

A custom made illustration for a friend Michelle. She will be giving this as a birthday present to a friend tonight. Her friend loves trees, flowers, and purple, and from there I just filled in the rest. I am always open for small freelance and it's fun to turn over a quick finished piece.

countdown to russia.

I have this unexplained interest in russia. I am in love with Russian textiles, dolls, and the idea of their wintry fashion. I must go!!! I found these great photos on a mom's creative blog http://diaperstylememoirs.blogspot.com/
