Floressence Business Card

It is a great challenge and lots of fun when a client wants to incorporate illustration into a business card. Standard business cards are only 3.5 x 2 inches which is not a lot of space to fit illustrations and all the information necessary to make a card useful. The solution for Floressence was a two sided card. One side has minimal copy so as to maximize the space for illustration, while the flip side has more copy and a touch of illustration. Who says business cards should be boring?

Sibling Rivalry BRRG Poster

Yeah, I love creating posters for the Blue Ridge Rollergirls (BRRG)!

This time, a double header with the theme “Sibling Rivalry.”

When Drag’n SlayHer told me the theme I immediately pictured two young girls being, well, as sisters can be, bratty. Perfect for my children’s book illustration style.

So, some time at the drawing table, some coloring on the computer, some fun with type and a poster came to life. Well, actually two – one tabloid size and one letter size (shown).

Want to know more about BRRG? Visit them online at www.blueridgerollergirls.com and come out to the bout on April 24th. I recommend picking up your tickets early, saves you some $ and time in line, giving more time for cheering.

And for you fans out there, who do you think was the inspiration for the young BRRG?
