A photo of the cover is above, and a page from the interior is below.

depot fest logo

just finished this one up - its come so far from the original idea, reminds me how much i love the creative process...that i can go from a railroad concept to the final incarnation of a neighborhood fencepost!

double cocoa sugar scrub - nibs to tags

Handmade, from the sugar scrub to the packaging! it feels so good to be able to do it all, nibs to tags. i'm doing a new monthly sugar scrub at the shop - first out is double cocoa...this sugar scrub batch is rich in powdered Dominican Republic cocoa blended with sugar and organic ground raw cocoa nibs- add in a bit of sweet almond oil, and frankly, I'd rather eat it- but it really does a fantastic job of lightly exfoliating your skin without too much oil left over for the steamy midsummer nights.






Each tag is hand drawn, the labels too!

Vacation poster - custom design

A very sweet friend of mine saw the Fox Hollow Farm poster I designed and shot last year - and asked if I would be willing to perhaps take her pictures from her European vacation and make a similar large poster out of her favorites. What fun it was getting to design a permanent poster memory of her vacation for her.

ticket design - 87 racing team dinner

this was a fun little project. the car's colors are black, blue and orange, so wanted to be sure to use them in a nice contrast...i liked the idea of using barcode lines, reflecting speed...kachow!
