Happy new year, y'all! I've been working on an invitation for a Renaissance-inspired wedding.

holiday lettering

© shannon snowI've been having a lot of fun in Illustrator lately.  I've been doing a lot more lettering, in preparation for a paper goods and print shop I'm going to start.  Invitations, greeting cards, annoucements - you name it.  

Also, I'm working on a piece for Girl's Life magazine.  More on that coming soon!

The Republican Madhouse

Michele Bachmann as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (clockwise from bottom: Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, and Jon Huntsman), or as i like to call it: the Republican Madhouse.  this was done for Square Carousel's "Fairy Tale with a Twist" challenge, and i just couldn't help myself.  also, i did think i needed some more political figures in my portfolio.  hello, New York Times?

the article is about how brides have been portrayed negatively in television in film lately, and how bridesmaids are the ones we seem to identify with.  i got my copy in the mail last week - it looks great!

overall, a really fun illustration to work on.  thanks, BUST!

They Draw and Travel (Drink?)

the last challenge over at Square Carousel was to submit a piece for They Draw and Travel, a super cool collection of illustrated maps from around the world.
