Hearts in the Community

My aunt is involved in a non-profit in New York which provides short term assistance to people in need. Services include housing, Metro cards, food baskets...whatever is needed, and are meant to bridge the gap for people who are either waiting to receive other services or who will only need temporary help. My aunt asked me to come up with some logo ideas, and here's what I've got so far. Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Willa's dedication invitation

Here's the invitation I did for Willa's dedication at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Buffalo. Abby wanted a giraffe, and Willa wouldn't express a preference, so we did a giraffe.

Happy Birthday Abby

So it's been a long long time since my last post, but I want to get into the habit of posting a bit more frequently. I'll start with a personal project I recently did. Abby and I were planning on painting a wall in our house with magnetic paint for when our 7 month old daughter Willa is a bit older and wants to hang artwork and play with magnetic alphabet letters, etc. We weren't in a huge rush to get this done since that will be a while, but when Abby and Willa went away for a night to visit family, I decided to paint the wall on the sly. I painted the wall with 3 coats of dark black magnetic primer, and finished with 2 coats of the blue wall color that was there before. She came home and thankfully didn't notice anything, since the paint was still a bit tacky and a little smelly. Then, when Abby's birthday rolled around I designed and printed a tiled Happy Birthday mural to serve as a huge birthday card. It's made up of 35 11" x 17" prints. Pictured on the mural are Willa, me, our dog Teddy, and my teddy bear that I've had forever, Nibbles. Also pictured is a Friendly's Watermelon ice cream roll. It was the only thing Abby asked for for her birthday, so I figured I ought to include it in the mural. She got the real deal too.
