Intro to Bookmaking


Stamped these for me and my husband.


I’m doing my spring cleaning this week, and I’m scanning some of my hand sketches/paintings/prints just so I can clear out my drawers to make room for the next term’s projects.








I’m looking to redesign my blog and add a separate portfolio page. We’ll see how it goes. Here are some rough draft visuals.
My friend Nathan is putting together another Bubblegum Best album. Here are some rough cover art/booklet examples (though these probably won’t end up being the real deal — these are just for fun — we have some more ambitious ideas in mind).
Some of my roughs for Anna’s Etsy site Leo’s Roar. I’ve designed a banner and avatar for her site, as well as business cards that she’ll send out with her handmade bibs.

I might finally have found yet another purpose for those 5 minutes spent tracing my head: beer koozies! We’ll be giving them away at our summer Iowa reception. The idea is white print on a red koozie — keeping the color scheme simple and bright. Some curves need a bit of finessing and there might be some small alignment issues, but I’m thinking this design will do the trick. I’m also wondering if this design, with more colors, could prove a nice beer label…
