my new site!

it's slowly coming together, actually it's been a project since last spring, but now all the graphic design is done, and all that's left is finishing the flash, entering all the images and launching it!  here's an example of what one of the pages will look like!

CD release party!

Hey folks!  for those of you who don't know, Scott Malcolmson is having his first CD release party tonight at the Park Theatre!  Show starts at 7pm and goes till 10pm.  His sound is acoustic folk, kinda got a Jack Johnson feel and he's spent a lot of time getting his first record out, so lets support this great Winnipeg artist!

I designed his entire CD; full 12 page booklet inside with lyrics, CD design, back and front tray cards and posters.  We actually did a photo shoot in the exchange where I shot roughly 250 pictures and used about 7 of them (pretty much the norm).  The front cover is a photoshop piece which I used layers of color to create.  All in all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, being my first CD I designed.  It's really neat to see it all printed out too.  

For those of you interested, check out his Myspace to hear his sound!

shrinky-madness!

who'd have thought that neat plastic you casually toyed with as a kid could be used to create such ornate and fun jewellery!  i've been making ear rings for ParaMix and F&Q now for the last 3 months and they've been selling like crazy!  here's a few pics of some of the work i've done, they, and many more are readily available for you at these stores!

crochet!

hey folks!  so recently i have been commissioned by Silver Lotus & Rooster to make hats and head bands and i've taken some photos of the finished pieces for everyone to see.  they're made of various types of wool, some cotton, some actual wool with different accessories attached.  i really like the flowers and the berries personally, but the ones with feathers seem to be flying out of there.  (bad pun, sorry).  anyways, they are available at these stores retailing for $30 each for those of you interested, or you can contact me through email for a custom made piece.  gotta keep warm!
