Brides Magazine Feature

August 17, 2010 cynthia

I'm excited to announce my first printed feature in the September issue of BRIDES magazine! I had so much fun creating this youthful wedding invitation.

2 Foot Yard – Album Artwork

August 1, 2010 cynthia

One of my most enjoyable projects that involved a lot of hand-lettering was for 2 Foot Yard's album, Borrowed Arms. The music is hauntingly beautiful and I feel very privileged to have worked with such talented musicians / artists. I drew inspiration from Natalia Goncharova, a Russian avant-garde artist that I admire very much. Here are 7 of the 13 track names. It … [Read more...]
