To illustrate the wedding favor labels for a NY/DC romance I was asked to create the Empire State Building and the Washington Monument. The Washington Monument was fairly straight forward (being that it is a monolith) but the Empire State Building was to be the more daunting task to convey the recognizable structure in a simplistic manor to match the weight of the Washington Monument. I am rather pleased with the outcome and thankfully so were the bride and groom.

The labels were Africa inspired and included giraffes. The original request was for a pairing of a zebra and giraffe (right) but the couple later chose to go with two giraffes (left) of different sizes for the illustration on the labels.

Enter the spray paint gun, a formidable weapon of ease and unparalleled destruction.

Of course, there also had to be something capable of cleaning such destruction. What better way to clean a painted wall than to paint right over it in a nice semi-gloss white!

I got to play in a tournament to try out the new halo 3 ODST game before it’s release in a decked out ODST truck with 8 xbox 360 consoles inside. We were paired in two 4 player matches, highest score of each received a prize. Unfortunately my halo skills are seriously lacking compared to the ultra fans who showed up and I did not win a license plate frame.
