the wedding gift
If you've followed the blog (or visited my recently updated website) then you've probably seen all of the wedding materials I've been working on these past couple of months for my aunt and soon-to-be (but technically already) uncle. There are a few components I haven't yet shared, but plan to do so once I've snapped some shots of them in action at the actual wedding.
The bride and groom were 'officially' married last weekend–a small, small ceremony–but they're having the big-fun-invite-everyone-you-know ceremony tomorrow, so I thought it would be o.k. to give them their gift between the two. The groom had, in passing, mentioned how he'd love to see me illustrate both himself and the bride as children in their scouting uniforms. I'll give you just one guess as to what I did for their gift.
I used the local company Skink-Ink to have a giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag produced. Not only did it come out beautifully, but the owner, Philip, is the best. An artist himself, he knows exactly how to talk with you and get the job done quickly and painlessly making this by far the most pleasant experience I've ever had with a printer. If you live in the Brooklyn/Manhattan area, I highly recommend checking out Skink-Ink.
I'll probably do one more wedding post so that you can see the remaining pieces (there's a couple of surprises), so stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of The Wedding on Lake Nockamixon.

that's lovely :)
It looks beautiful! I wish I lived in New York so I could giclee prints of my work. I live in the Netherlands and there's only one company in the entire country that can make giclee prints :(
I love the scouting theme!
