wrapping up 2009

fish9 2009 is coming to an end. I will remember this year as the year I caught my breath. I feel older and wiser now. I have a sneaking suspicion that 2010 is going to be a fruitful year for me professionally. . . . tic toc tic toc…

new years card

The next couple of posts are a review of some of the work that I produced over the past couple of months for greeting cards and event announcements. 

I was able to do a series of these circular compositions but they are of course highly personalized !

School party poster

I tried to convey a sense of joy and coziness to announce the school party for the big poster. Below was one of the many teasers that was sent by email.

This was a change of address card. I had fun drawing the members of their family.

little drawing for going away party

This is a vignette that I did for  a Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrator’ children’s book writer and former director of SCBWI France who is returning to live in the states. I used to host the  Show and Tell evenings and so this is a reference to that.

Engraved card with rounded edges

I wanted this card to be special. It is not for a car salesman, lawyer or accountant. It is for an individual who happens to be a classical French theatre actress. 

She needed a card that can be used for both professional and personal relationships. 

It will be engraved with a raised black ink on traditional paper with rounded edges. I may hand color each card individually to make it even more alive. 

I like the idea of handing out a card that feels like a gift. 

I have changed the name here to protect her privacy.
