A wedding present.





This weekend I was in the wedding of two friends from high school. I often like to make art as a gift for my close friends. I feel like it will have more sentimental value if it's something I made with them in mind. But it's also a bit nerve racking because you hope they will like it.

The wedding was very colorful with flower print dresses, so I wanted to take close-up photos of flowers in their wedding colors (yellow, green, purple, magenta/red). I then printed the photos on canvas and wrapped the canvas around stretcher bars. Their is no need for a frame because the image wraps around the sides. It was my first time doing this, and I'm very happy with the results. I think it looks bold and modern. What do you think?

p.s. Please excuse the photos as I took them with my little point and shoot digital camera. There is some distortion with that lens.

Discover change...



So, I worked on this postcard for a client to announce the company's new website.  The concept was to paste actual change inside the card.  The client said it was "too creative" and their clients "might not get it."  So, it's back to the drawing board, although I think it's pretty fantastic.  What do you think?
