Project: Hellbetty Postcards

This is a variation on a postcard design I did recently for Hellbetty Jewelry. They are releasing a new product called wine charms, which are like bling for your wine glass, but each one is different so you can also use it to identify your glass at a party if you set it down for a minute. These cards are multipurpose, since they are not only promotional postcards, but they serve as the product packaging card as well. Wine charms will  soon be available in sets of six at select locations and directly form Hellbetty as well.

Project: Atomic City Whimsy

I just finished up this double-sided business card design for Atomic City Whimsy on Etsy. They specialize in cool vintage decor, handmade jewelry and crushed glass art. They've got some real nifty stuff, so you'll want to check them out from time to time. 

As for the design itself, we went with a bold mid-century modern look featuring a solid populuxe flavor, with this strong diamond pattern in orange and aqua, and finished it off with a couple of tasty retro fonts (Dairyland & Mister Television) from Font Diner.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

Today is the late Dr. Seuss' birthday, he would have been 108. It feels like I should have so much to say about an artist that I hold in such high esteem, but honestly, is there anything that hasn't already been said about the good doctor and his contribution to the art and literary worlds? Is there any praise that hasn't already been heaped on him many times over? I can't think of a thing, and so I will simply let his own artwork speak, and I think nothing would be more apropos than a selection of images from his 1959 book, The Birthday Bird (from Random House Books). Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss, or Mr. Geisel if you prefer.
