We teamed up with Project Wedding this past April for a wedding shoot in Malibu. The full gallery is now on view at Project Wedding. It’s a real couple, Aude and Gilles, who worked with us to stage this beautiful Morrocan-inspired scene.

Here a few highlights of my contributions. I created menus, vows, table numbers and place cards that incorporated watercolor frames and designs.

The astounding florals and shoot styling was created and designed by Poppies & Posies. And of course, photography by the talented Jen Huang.

Plus you’ll see a few other details and contributors: the bride’s headpiece by Jennifer Behr; hair & makeup by Jess Wilcox; bowties by Boutaugh; dress by Ivy & Aster from Lovely Bride.

I must preface this with a proper OMG.

Early this January, I was cast as the calligrapher/illustrator for this new Paper Mate pen commercial that starts airing today in advance of the Academy Awards. It’s only 12 seconds but you’ll catch of glimpse of me sketching in the middle of the paparazzi crowd – and then all the hand shots that follow are of me writing. 12 seconds of prime time fame!

Check out more scenes from the shoot on Paper Mate’s Facebook page. And here are some other behind-the-scenes shots as well, thanks to Tim Miller of Big Chief.

paperfinger for sunday suppers : menu design

Posted: January 24th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: brooklyn, calligraphy, cooking, design, lettering and fonts, paper, press | 5 Comments »

I designed this menu for a private dinner party created and hosted by Karen Mordechai of the esteemed Sunday Suppers (= luxurious cooking classes, beautiful food photography, custom events and dreamy recipes). Armed with some information on the aesthetic of the evening and that it would be a table full of enthusiastic foodies, I created this menu and hand wrote each one to be placed at the guests’ seats.

My inspiration came from the now-ubiquitous meat cut diagrams that oh so many restaurants have incorporated into their interiors, menus and logos. Rather than diagram the meat, I decided to diagram the meal!

Along with the menu, Karen needed a few signs and labels for the homemade tomato jam that served as a party favor. Here’s the recipe.

As always, Karen styled a beautiful table along with florals by Jessie of Rountree.

And a few more shots of the materials in my studio:

All gorgeous photos shot by Karen Mordechai. All the normal-looking ones were shot by me in the studio. Pig diagram courtesy of Osovo.com.
