modern groomsmen cards -- will you be my best man?

every now and then i get an email from a client asking if i make groomsman cards that don't have  mustaches on them! there's definitely saturation of mustache products at there.. and if you're looking for an alternative, there aren't a lot of masculine versions.

i came up with these simple groomsman cards that feature the wedding date on the front and the 'will you be my groomsman, best man, etc" question on the inside.

i imagine this groom to love adventure, whiskey and to never leave the house without his pocket knife. but if he doesn't do all or any of those requirements, that's okay. he's a total gentleman by asking his wedding party with good ol' fashioned stationery.

groomsman cards are available in the shop as single cards & sets of three.

 

you & me watercolor valentine print in the shop!

yup, it's time to start thinking about valentines. don't be a scrooge. i love it.  my ideal valentines is a good homemade meal (that we make together) a rented movie and a dessert that we don't typically have very often (cremem brule.. a fruit tarte?) no dressing up! pajamas required. 

in the spirit of the holiday, i made these geometric watercolor prints.... with a simple you & me. nothing fancy. adds a nice little pop of pink to your art wall that you're working on, yes? prints can be purchased in my etsy shop!

hand-carved stamps - pink & orange valentine's cards

here's what i came up with for personal valentines i sent this year. i carved an XO stamp surrounded by a heart wreath and stamped the image onto flat cards. i couldn't decide which kind of inks i like so some were rainbow images and others were embossed with neon pink powder.

all cards were set off with a tangerine colored envelope, cause i'm diggin' orange these days. xo

i doodle a lot.i even make 'rules' to not do this to my projects lists during meetings, but the evidence shoes my rebellious side.

...my boss even commented that i had a happy weekend based on the gayness of my drawings!
