I recently designed and hand printed some wedding invites inspired by the original Nintendo prompted by the grooms kinship to Megaman. Hillary and Morgan were looking for unique stationary that reflected their sense of humour and had a casual elegant feel like their planned garden party wedding. The invites have a fold that tears off into an RSVP card.
Murderboner! is the all exciting monthly rap night brought to you by MattGoingHam (also known as my soon to be husband) at our favourite local bar Red Light (1185 Dundas Street W in Toronto). His next soiree is on Thursday August 11, 2011 - so if you are a fan of southern/progressive/new/obscure rap songs this is a night you should not miss. After the first 4 installments my partner came to his matrimonial senses and asked me to take over the poster design job, so here is the latest visual installment along with the two previous gig flyers. We have been running with the theme of rap as religion, which my mother will eventually scold me for being blasphemous, which never fails to make for some humorous imagery. For you rap nerds out there try and guess the artists in each poster! (answers after the jump)
My dear friend Nautiluss was recently signed to Hemlock Recordings and ever since has been getting major play on the airwaves by some seriously heart-worthy dj’s (ie: Mary Anne Hobbs and Gilles Peterson). I was blessed with the opportunity to design the logo for this new musical venture. It is based on the diamond origami fold, the base step needed to create some of the most complicated Japanese paper sculptures. Which I like to think of as representative of Nautiluss, him being the foundation for the layered sounds he folds together to create musical structures. The forms also create the letter “N” as well as the shapes of two sailboats. Go twitter and FB for all the latest Nautiluss news.
I stumbled upon my copy of Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia vol.1 by accident in a Soho’s Original Bookshop while visting London in 2005. Little did I know the FUEL design&publishing publication would carry so much international intrigue.
