Watercolor Floral Notecards

You may or may not know we also have a small retail area in our Manasquan studio, as well as an online store. Here are four of our many notecard designs. These original watercolor floral cards can be purchased either as a set of 8 (2 of each flower) or as 8 of the same design.

Alphabet Poster

Here is the Patterned Alphabet in its entirety. I began this project for fun in 2006 and gradually finished the series about 8 years later. This piece is available for purchase in our store in two poster sizes: 18" x 24" and 24" x 36."

Patterned alphabet complete!

 The last three letters to complete the Patterned Alphabet! The "Z" was the first letter I drew back in 2006.

A Marriage Wish

Lately I have been making time again for personal lettering projects. My invitation studio has a large bridal clientele, and I guess this piece was a result of beginning this year's wedding season. The sentiment seemed sweet for newlyweds and even for those who have been married a long time.

Happy Valentines Day

A new piece for Valentines Day. Illustrated with Micron pens.

Interior Design Rendering

I did this interior design rendering for a Caesarstone Counter Show in New York in April. It is the third of these illustrations for client Porter Design Company. You can see the first and second ones here.

The Letter V/Illustration Friday~RETURN

This post marks my return to three things:

1. This blog after three years with no new posts
2. Illustration Friday after almost four years
and
3. The next letter in my patterned letter series after four years. Hopefully the last two letters of the alphabet do not take another 4 years to complete.

Watercolor pencils, colored pencils, and Micron Pens

Jersey Girl....

This goes back a few months, but is a fun one.

Save the Weekend

This wedding will take place at The Newagen Seaside Inn in Maine. The bride and groom asked that I include their Golden Retriever, Bodhi, in the picture. Watercolor pencils and colored pencils. Digital type.

Black and White Map

Here again is a wedding map, this time just black and white. This is the first map I have completed that was so local as to include streets. Micron pens.

A Parody

This client asked if I could do a Save the Date illustration using her and her fiancee's favorite painting "Boy and Girl Gazing at the Moon" by Norman Rockwell, but replacing the dog in the painting with their own dog, Quigley. I was happy to oblige. Digital.

Key Largo

This painting was commissioned for a wedding that took place last weekend in Key Largo. It was based on vintage travel poster art, and was tailored right down to the bride's dress. This was the actual wedding site, and the moon really was full that night. The original piece was 11" x 17".
Watercolor and gouache.

Illustration Friday ~ SAVE

I just completed this Save the Date map for an October wedding. Sandy Hook is at the northeasternmost corner of New Jersey, and the wedding site overlooks New York City. A lovely place to get married. Micron pens and watercolor pencils.

The Letter U

The original "U" was brown. I recently played around with colors in Photoshop and really liked the pink and purple camouflage look.

The Letter T

I'm closing in on the end of the alphabet. This May will mark two years since I began this project. Here is a stained glass "T"...a little early Spring.

The Letter S

This will forever be my Super Bowl (XLII) "S" as I worked on most of it during the now historic game. I'm not much of a football fan, but living so close to New York, the excitement for the Giants win was quite contagious. Honeycombs and grayed pastels.

The Letter R

A citrus colored pinwheel R to brighten up a winter day....

The Letter Q

A quilted blue Q. And a color study.

The Letter P

Happy 2008! This is the year I hope to finish the patterned alphabet, so here is one more. Zig, zag, zig, zag....

House Portrait

I just finished this house portrait as a Christmas gift. The original is 16" x 11." Watercolor on Arches paper.

Illustration Friday ~ BACKWARDS

This is my first time participating in Illustration Friday in 8 months, and my first original illustration for the challenge in 10 months. It feels good to be back! I had a lot of fun drawing this last night with Microns, Sharpies, Prismacolors, etc.

The Letter O

It's nice to be rolling again on the letter series. I tried to incorporate a little holiday color here.

The usual media.

The Letter N

Simplicity was the theme here. And pink...lots of pink. 

I also designed a stained glass "N" to match the letter "T."

Sharpie markers, Micron pens, watercolor pencils and colored pencils.
