I’ve been continuing to work on the cover and inside illustrations for my cookbook The Kitchen and The Garden Patch
Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately. A little bit of deco, a little arts and crafts. Everything reminiscent of nature and all its beauty. Stylized but simplified floral illustrations and thin outlines, and big blocks of color. Everything from William Morris to Paul Poiret, from George Brandt to Felix Albrecht. And some more below:

You are encouraged to bring a guest to participate in the festivities.
Well, well, well. It’s finally time to put all of my hard efforts to good use. Months of cooking, perfecting, and compiling all of my recipes for my cookbook (The Kitchen and The Garden Patch).
This is the part I love just as much as cooking: designing. I’ve become immersed in completely in InDesign. Character/Object/Paragraph Styles (something I never much used before) are coming in handy.
And I’m loving working with Metallophile SP8. It’s gorgeous, AND it has fractions.
Ok, so I’m a bit of a type nerd. (But I secretly hope you are just as excited as I am.)
More news to come soon.
I had a tiny bit of free time this morning, so I bought Metallophile SP8 to test it out.
What a beautiful typeface.
I redesigned my invoices to give them warm, vintage feel. It’s so lovely, and takes all of the work out of distressing the type yourself (which I usually do by printing out the text, scanning it back in, and wearing out the type in Photoshop).v

Myspace, do you wonder why everyone left you?
