Here's a recent "Save the Date" card I designed. The barn is a faithful representation of their actual venue. I can't wait to see it in print!

Colorized picture of Dona Flavia

A couple of nights ago, my Dad asked me to colorize a picture of his late mother to take down to Brazil with him next week. The original photo was microscopic and had a TON of problems, the most annoying being that it was covered in a weird texture, almost like tiny bubble wrap. Stephen tried a fast Fourrier transformation, to no avail. The spots had to be removed by hand. I finally finished it this morning. :P Still, I’m happy with the results, considering it was my first time colorizing anything.

I was inspired by the recent exhibit at the Musée d'Orsay to come up with some William Morris-esque wallpaper borders!
