Illustrator
I illustrated this bouquet of mums on a Papillon Press Mother’s Day card. This card is available now in the Papillon Press Etsy shop.
Show your mother how thankful you are by presenting her with this card on Sunday.
This is a 2-colour letterpress card, printed by hand on our Chandler and Price letterpress.

Joel and I (but mostly Joel) organized an art show at the local Fromagerie to save the Sudbury watertowers, which were slated for demolition…but now are saved!
We don’t expect anyone to give Joel credit for pretty much raising awareness in a city that doesn’t give a sh*t about most things cultural, but I want to put it on record that Joel is basically the reason these watertowers were saved, by keeping the issue in the local media.
Just goes to show, blogs go a long way in small places. Read more about it at his Save the Sudbury Watertowers blog.
My watertower sketch (which I drew plein air about a year ago) went up in the show beside Joel’s. We were sitting in the same spot, so the sketches are pretty similar, the only difference being that mine has a bit of colour in it.
Joel illustrated our letterpress save-the-date to match his proposal book so the theme was red coral (like my ring), diving bells and turtles. And since we are great believers in killing two birds with one stone, he also used the graphic as a promo for his illustration.
Three colours printed by moi on Crane Lettra, 140 lbs pearl white. 5×7.
The turtle shell even took on a concave shape during printing!
