Business Cards

New business cards designed for relocating to New York.  A layout was first created in black ink on cotton paper.  The original was sent to the engraver in London, England – Smythson of Bond Street created a hand-engraved copper plate from the original draft.  The finished product is stunning;  an oversized card (10cm x 6.5cm) with gold ink on 700gsm Nile blue stock, with hand-rounded corners and 23kt gold hand-gilded edges.

Wedluxe Spread!

Check out my work in the latest issue of Wedluxe magazine  – calligraphy on plexiglass and glass.  The giant seating chart is actually a large sheet of glass on which I wrote in reverse script (on the back).
