Barbara Kingsolver

We love getting samples in the mail. Here's a recent book project we worked on for a Barbara Kingsolver book. We'd love to read it except we don't know Italian.

Art Director: Giacomo Callo

Designer: Susanna Tosatti

Hello Paris!

We took a little trip to Paris that turned out to be pretty magical.  Tasty food, fun times with the family and a nice break from work.  We're back in Philly now and fully recharged and ready to take on the studio again.  I'm a little behind on e-mails but promise to get back to you all very soon.  

Weeds

Here's a recent cover I worked on with Allison Saltzman from Ecco/Harper Collins.  

When I received the initial call for this project I happened to be standing in my parents garden which happened to have a fair amount of weeds (sorry Dad, I know its not your fault...just a weedy season!) anways, I was immediately inspired and was happy to have such a magnificent array of reference material at my fingertips.  Thanks to Allison for being such a great art director, and to my Dad for having a fantastically weedy section of his garden.

Matt and I will be at showing our work at Surtex this year.  Feel free to swing by booths

Daily Drop Cap

Awhile back the fantastically talented Jessica Hische invited us to be part of her Special Guest Alphabet for Daily Drop Cap.  She gave us the letter J (for Juniper) and we went to work. Here is the end result.  Thanks to Jess for inviting us to be part of her very cool project. Click here to see more.

Latest Book Cover

Matt and I recently had the pleasure of working on a book cover with Duncan Baird Publishers in the UK.  We just received our copy in the mail, thanks to Billy Wagar for doing such a nice job with the design and making our mail box happy.

Here's an illustration we did for a children's poetry section of the Washington Post.
