As you many of you already know I love paper. To be honest I joke with people and call myself a “paper whore.” I get funny responses sometimes when I say that but it’s honestly the truth.
I think some of their holiday card designs are amazing and “vintage” in their look, which of course I love.

I was very honored when Local Collection at the Glendale Galleria invited me to be a part of their first store. This is the first test of this concept and they have a phenomenal track record on first to launch retail concepts (i.e. first Apple store in the world, first Disney store in the world).
Local Collection is a mix of apparel, accessories, jewelry, home decor, wall art, furniture and pottery/sculpture all done by local designers and artists.
They will be selling my calendars, fine art prints (framed and unframed), paper items I’ve created and greeting cards.
The private opening of the store is next Thursday, November 12 from 5-9pm.
I am very excited about this new venture.
I have been given the honor of shooting images for the International Printing Museum in Carson, California. The museum is looking to update it’s website and marketing materials and I’ve been in font and type heaven shooting this job!!
This is just a sneak peek of the images I have shot and if anyone loves letterpress or type they will recognize a lot of these items in these images.
