Nature Calling

We have been enjoying a most splendid spring with lots of rain and cool weather, and I couldn't help but share a few artistic graphic designs that I've created that draw upon nature for inspiration and for, shall I say, a bit of humor.

I designed the Homestead Antique Flyer above--I styled it (alongside the owner,) photographed it, and created the final graphic design. These were made into postcards and sent out as advertisments for thier upcoming spring antique fair.

Two years ago I shot these last three photos for a nature-inspired line of postcards (back when I still sold items in my Etsy store).  My neice and I had quite a bit of fun tweaking the text and overall graphic design of the cards. I actually spent quite a bit of time creating this line, but in the end, even after hours of work, I realized that while these cards reveal the quirky, nature-loving side of me, they did not fit my over all style, so they were just filed away into a folder on my computer. I'm sure we all have folders full of ideas that never made it past our personal computers.

Typewriter Tango-- Just a silly picture-- nothing spectaluar, but I can't help but imagine tango music while watching these two intertwining worms.

My very favorite postcard: Texting is 4 grubs:)

This postcard was my very favorite design as it gave me the chance to vicariously poke fun at technology via a curious, hungry caterpillar. (And I had to resist adding LMAO at the end of the phrase...)

I could go on and on about how texting gets on my nerves, but I guess I'll save that for another post, another day.

I hope spring has also been treating you well.

I'm off to finish preparing for Amelia's 4th birthday party...


I'll be back soon!
