I thoroughly enjoyed working with Vanessa Jones on her Asuka Book for her wedding with Kathleen and Jesse at The Fairmont Chateau Laurier. I helped Vanessa decide which wedding to use for her sample album … and fell in love with these wonderful shots. We looked at several weddings together … but kept coming […]
Photographer Danny Weiss asked me to design a 5.5 x 8.5 color postcard to promote his headshot business for actors, musicians etc. for the New York market. The idea was to highlight the shots, retain consistency for his branding, keep it simple but not like the other headshot comp cards that he’s used to seeing […]

I had to watch the video quite a few times … this is a paint roller designed to communicate and print pixels from any digital imagery - text or photos on a variety of surfaces. It’s like a handheld printer. I found this on the rAndom international website - amazing ingenuity - I wonder how […]
