A few on-sites for @louisvuitton earlier this summer… thank you @mele.vuitton for the video (check out her profile, her work is so cool!) I love these activation events, the clients were sooooo cute composing special messages for me to write for Father’s Day! Also love that for this lettering style all I need to bring is a #micronpen or #uniball and a white #gellyroll - neat, clean, no huge bag of art supplies swipe for a #bathroomselfie at the end 🙃 (at Louis Vuitton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch25ML3pnH5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

recent work for my friends @farfetch 1) place cards for the London team here for an NYC event - they requested this style of copperplate, first name only and I thought it looked so chic I proceeded to pitch it for my next 2 events, love working big for a change! nib: hunt22b holder: moblique @luis.creations 2) a few of the many Private Client notecards I work on, personalized for VIPs in my modern italic nib: brause 1/2 #calligrapher #farfetch #privateclient #placecards #notecards #personalizedcards #copperplatecalligraphy #letteringartist #eventcalligraphy #eventcalligrapher #hunt22 #brausenib (at East Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChVd4fnJC-7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

photo dump from my time with @matchesfashion at their townhouse shopping experience back in May, live calligraphy for the @phaidonpress book launch of #artsnextgeneration and place cards for a VIP client dinner. loved mixing up some custom #gouache in bright pastels to match the gorgeous bookmarks and then for the place cards working in a style I haven’t touched in a few years… PS thank you @mxorloff for introducing me to Jade and the lovely #MatchesFashion team! #calligrapher #livecalligraphy #eventcalligraphy #bookmarksofinstagram #personalized #brause #brightpastels #polaroid (at Upper West Side, NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf9vdDUJ7vD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

last month I dug up my acrylics for this v. cool menu personalization for the launch of @sir_thelabel x @iblamejordan - had to lay down a layer of white first to make the red pop (such a good red by @angelusdirect btw!) so it was a bit down to the wire but luckily acrylic dries down quickly. loved going big and graphic ♥️ event design: @thetablenewyork menu design: @tabitha.h.o.p.e florals: @ranaflora PR: @dlx.co #nycartist #nyccalligrapher #lettering #menudesign #tablescape (at BABS) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFb9H1L4Rw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

hand-lettered menus to celebrate @aliita.official for @plan_c_official at a pretty little dinner at @ilbuconyc about a month ago🍷 simple chic all-caps to contrast with the warm rustic vibe. and the florals, perfect! don’t know the artist but you can ask @alexakopel ♥️ #calligrapher #nyccalligrapher #lettering #menudesign #tablescape #misenplace #eventsnyc (at Il Buco) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeUYpWFrWmO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

personalized jewelry cases & gift boxes for @ippolita that I did in December- simple, modern lettering in gold I’ll be back at the Madison Avenue store tomorrow 12-5pm personalizing gift boxes if you want to stop by for last-minute V Day or self-purchase retail therapy ♥️ using @sakuraofamerica #pentouchgold with a layer of @pentelofamerica hybrid dual metallic gold for extra shimmer - found so many good gold paint pen options at @jetpens after realizing most of my markers dried up due to lack of use during the pandemic ✨ (at IPPOLITA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ2K9bvrXU8/?utm_medium=tumblr

about to start on @michaelkors FW22 for #NYFW so I guess it’s about time to share what I did for SS22 last Fall 🙄 the show was BEAUTIFUL, on a perfect day at @tavernonthegreen and I did all invitations, fully-addressed envelopes and the very chic black seat cards with white lettering, swipe to see the full suite and some #behindthescenes 🖋I used @sakuraofamerica #pigmacalligrapher pens and a #brause nib with @drphmartins #bleedproofwhite (at Tavern on the Green) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZh0EvbJS5H/?utm_medium=tumblr

happy birthday Dad! he didn’t want any gift except one of my watercolor cards, so I did this based on his sunflower pic (swipe to see his photo!)

a special commission! I was asked to create something with these two quotes as he wanted to give his SO something meaningful to remember the occasion of his proposal. loved practicing these practical but romantic words, I’ll admit I teared up 💦 and such a good size, small enough to feel personal, big enough to frame. wishing them many years of happiness 🖤 card & envelope: Arturo Fine Paper, soft white @legionpaper 🖋 nib: #Brause C 0.05 ink: @dalerrowneynorthamerica #calligraphy #calligrapher #calligraphyvideo #commissionedart #proposalcard #proposalideas #calligraphymasters #calligram #asmr #pointedpen #pointedpencalligraphy #oddlysatisfyingvideo #custom #moderncalligraphy (at East Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDhjv78ngzz/?igshid=ueqe28yae7x3

birthday card for my mom inspired by another of my dad’s photos, during one of their nature walks. this is an eastern tailed blue butterfly, using @winsorandnewton #watercolor + @schmincke_official #gouache for that nice opaque pale blue 🦋 #butterfly #butterflies #butterflywatercolor #butterflyart #brushlettering #handlettered #handlettering #birthdaycard #calligrapher #artistsoninstagram (at East Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbdQejJH2n/?igshid=1tx45s87kcf3p

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to all the kinds of dads 🖤 my dad is the most fair, patient, thoughtful, kind man I know... we are alike in many ways but he schools me in all of the above and I did not inherit ANY of his skills at figuring out how things work and how to fix them. and he has always thought he lacked any artistic inclination. but last year he joined the Sparta Photo Club and has been studying photography and learning photoshop. and he and my mom travel all over northwest NJ looking for flora & fauna to identify and photograph, it’s their thing. so for his card I was inspired by his Ebony Jewelwing damselfly, swipe to see his photo! I used a combo of pen & ink and watercolor, wish I did a time lapse but forgot... here’s a video so you can see the pretty iridescent bits 🦋 #fathersday #fathersdaycard #watercolor #penandink #calligraphy #copperplate #bugstagram #dragonfly #damselfly #amateurphotography (at East Village) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBt67YoHu3V/?igshid=5vk4497jbihu

some spring flowers for my Grandma ‘cause she’s stuck in her room missing Michigan spring... maybe this is the perfect time to make postcards great again?!? 🤔 #silverlining watercolor pigment & postcard from @winsorandnewton and the fab fluor yellow from @kremerpigmentsnyc #daffodils #fluorescent #watercolor #watercolorflowers #timelapse #springflowers #inspo #aquarelle #postcard #calligraphy #calligraphylettering #stayhome #staycreativeathome (at East Village, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7whI-HOr0/?igshid=1cua2xn5hayab

Started working with the Prada CRM group beginning of summer and established this style (my fave for RN, feels classic but fresh) for their VIP client events. Also really loved this rainbow mani, Junko @35sakuranailspa helped me get the colors just right... 🖋 nib: #Brause C 0.05 ink: @dalerrowneynorthamerica #paynesgray #calligraphy #calligrapher #prada #calligraphyvideo #calligraphymasters #calligram #asmr #oddlysatisfyingvideo #fashioncalligraphy #placecards #custom #moderncalligraphy #rainbownails (at East Village, Manhattan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1tokx_FfnR/?igshid=1b3t1e0xjnd4i

From last week with @tommyhilfiger stealing puppy kisses from @ninjafamous who is one of those creatures who seems too adorable to be real ♥️ thank you @garlicknaughty for taking this joyful snap. also, so glad I kept this @shoshannagruss skirt circa 1999, the only red item in my closet, still a great fit! #tommyhilfiger #pomeranian #cuteoverload #puppykisses #puppylove #redwhiteandblue #nycalligrapher (at The Williamsburg Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1HpA85h9D2/?igshid=ilwx258w693z

really fun gig this week working with @tommyhilfiger personalizing sunglasses cases. video by my lettering partner for the day @garlicknaughty who was amazing, in sync and a good sharer of markers. the venue was amazing and the guests were so happy to be there mostly we didn’t mind the tipsy repeat customers. swipe to see my samples, using @molotowheadquarters @marvyuchida #decocolor markers and the branded rooftop pool! ♥️ #tommyhilfiger #tommyhilfigerstaycation #calligrapher #handlettering #script #personalized #handlettered #nycevents #williamsburg #nyccalligrapher #molotowmarkers #decoartmarkers (at The Williamsburg Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ABhKeF-vG/?igshid=zesjb8k618k0
