We’ll refer to these little gems as “the second generation,” as they are a bit different.  They are printed with the finest archival inks onto a lovely Epson paper, a tad smaller than the originals, they measure 5″x5″.  Each comes hand-signed by yours truly, and is guaranteed to add a little spunk to your kitchen!  The best part?  Only $12 per print!!!

Thanks to a “heads up” by the lovely Victoria Bennett Beyer, I found out about a little contest, and sure enough, made the cut!  Thanks for the lovely write up Simply Hue!

Of all the Savannah Pen & Ink sketches I’ve done over the years, this one has always been the favorite.  I love the sneak peak of St. John’s Cathedral through the trees, and I sure hope I’ve done it justice by adding a splash of color…feel free to critique! Oh and to refresh your memory, here’s the classic black & white version.

it’s a fine line between under and over-working.  A bit strange to see these old works with a pinch of color.

well sorta.  I had the idea to breath some new life into some old favs. I’m thinking they’d make for nice prints, maybe even do a limited edition of hand-painted prints…Thoughts?

Sometime back I recieved an email from the editor of Bygone Kent, Rachel Deeson.  She wanted to include my Wide Sargasso Sea illustration in an article about the author of the book, Jean Rhys.  It was a beautiful article, and I’m honored to have one of my favorite illustrations included.  Thanks Rachel!

One of the most enjoyable things about pulling this Savannah Wedding all together was getting to meet and work with other local artists…(and a few that aren’t so local)…

First, I’d like to thank the lovely Elissa Frankino for not only designing our rings, but allowing us to be a part of the process.  It was so much fun to see her studio, and make friends with her and her husband…Elissa, I’ll be happy to show you a painting trick or two, if I can just come play in your studio for day :)

Special thanks to Merritt of Appearances Salon for her hair magic!

One of the most meaningful gifts came from Nick’s Aunt Phyllis…Phyllis makes custom wedding gowns and accessories out of Chicago, and she was kind enough to create the perfect veil for me!  She even used the extra beads from my dress to adorn it.

Fabulous esthetician and girlfriend to my baby brosef, Elizabeth Schrom, was kind enough to do my makeup…(and that of most my girls)…she’s a true gem!

WedLiz

AJ of Nigh Bluey worked with me to create some beautiful custom Swarovski crystal earrings for my girls!  She was even so kind as to throw in a pair for me, that worked perfect with my dress.  AJ, my girls loved them more than you can imagine! I have a feeling we’ll be working on matching necklaces soon!

Some other folks that made this day spectacular:

Peacock’s on 37th – They saw my vision for the flowers, and far exceeded my expectations where they could have shown me the door.

The Gingerbread House – Made finding the perfect dress all too easy!

Baker’s Pride – the most yummy cake around, and the design fit right in…love love love our cake!

All About You DJ’s - your professionalism sets you apart from the rest!

Quantum Inc. – Employs over 175 adults with disabilities, and makes a slew of personalized products.  Thanks for the matchbooks and cocktail napkins!

Oglethorpe Trolley Tours – Thanks for getting all our guests back safe and sound!

Rev. John Haney – Your ceremony was absolutely beautiful!  We’ve heard nothing but raves!  Hope to see you real soon.

Angie & the entire team at the Savannah Yacht Club – Can’t thank you enough for your help!  The food was amazing, everyone had a wonderful time!

WedNickandI

And last, but certainly not least, thanks to Jade McCully for capturing our special day.  It was a dream to have her photograph our wedding and it’s been so much fun getting to know her…for a look at her gorgeous photos form our day, CLICK!

Of course none of this would have happened were it not for our incredibly generous friends and family.  We love you all bunches!

Now it’s time to get back to work!
