I Miss Your Face.

It's true. I do miss your face. Luckily I designed this card so I have a nice way of telling you so.

Available for purchase at I Like You in NE, Minneapolis.

Valentine

Valentine's Day Card - Now Available HERE

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! And you know, sometimes just saying "I love you" isn't quite enough.

To make the deal even sweeter, I'm having a SALE! Now through Valentine's Day.

Wedding Invites

I am very honored to have been asked to design wedding invites (and all that goes with them) for my dear friends, Mike and McKenzie. She wanted something whimsical ad illustrated including their adorable dog, the location of the wedding, a map, flowers, wreathes and ribbons. 

It was a fun project to work on and I can't wait for their wedding this spring!

Black Collar "Cold School" Show

Last night I attended Black Collar's "Cold School" launch party / fashion show at Honey in Minneapolis.

"We are the unknown, the overlooked, and overworked. We are those who simply desire a chance to earn the experience and prove our quality. We promote others as we promote ourselves. Black Collar shares the load, and we share it gladly. We number in the many, our diversity our greatest asset."

- Black Collar

The collective consists of: Dan Souligny, Brandon Krom, Aaron Schulte, Sean Monahan, Luke Berhow, Justin McKinley, Eric Johnson, Dan Levar, Schuyler Huber, Chris Peck, Ant Konigbagbe, Charles Knight, and Grace Alexander.

The show started with this video produced by Chris Peck, followed by the runway show.

 

It was an awesome night! If you missed out, you can check out all of the merch on the Black Collar website : blackcollarcollective.com.
