photography alert!

October 8, 2009

I'm completely obsessed with these images from illustrator/photographer Frances Jmelhop.


They're romantic but sort of kitschy at the same time.....and THAT is my weakness.

Had some fun practicing some #mendhidesign today. I’m not sure why I find painting paisley and traditional Indian designs so relaxing. . . . . #mehndi #mehndidesigns #licensing #surfacepatterndesign #printandpattern #estherloopstraillustration #surfacedesign #homedecor #printfabric #fabriclove #textileprint #patternobserver #artist #graphicdesign #bohemiandesign #illustratorsoninstagram #patternlove #indiantextiles #textiledesign #artlicensing #digitalillustration #repeatpattern #indiantextiles #surfacespatterns #paisley #boho #appareldesign
I had the pleasure of creating the illustration and lettering for this mug that was given out @creativemorningsseattle yesterday for their anniversary. /// Every month I look forward to going to to Creative Mornings, meeting interesting people and listening to inspiring talks. /// This week was especially exciting with a great talk from David Pierre-Louis and seeing so many people drinking out of the mugs with my lettering on it. @phillustrations also created an awesome mug illustration. . . . . #creativemornings @creativemorning #creativeinspiration #mug #inspirational #letteringlove #tabletop #homedecor #lettering #handlettering #type #letteringart #everyoneiscreative #artlicensing #licensing #illustratedtype #illustration #liveauthentic #makersgonnamake #madetomatter #makeartnotwar #creativeheart #mycreativecommunity #communityovercompetition #createcommune #surfacedesign #handletterer

I had a great time working on this map of Boston for a client who’s mom had just moved to the city. He wanted to create a personalized map to go on her wall so that she could easily find her way around. /// It was a really fun challenge because I normally don’t create maps with so many streets and precise proportions- we even labeled the neighborhoods and gave a key to show how far some locations are (not shown here). . . . . #boston #bostonmap #bostontravel #illustration #illustratorforhire #illustratedmaps #lettering #freshfood #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsoninstagram #maps #foodillustration #travelvegan #theydrawandtravel #editorialillustration #womenofillustration #illustrationart #illustrateyourworld #handlettering #letteringaddict #ipadillustration @adobedrawing #travel #illustration
