Garden Harvest

I've been enjoying my little garden harvest this past month.  I have 8 Chadwick's Cherry Tomato plants, a nice little row of Black Tuscan Palm Tree Kale and a pot of Italian Large Leaf Basil.  I buy my seeds from The Cottage Gardener.  They have a most excellent selection of heirloom seeds and I've had great results with them.

I thought this was a good time to show another illustration I made for Interval House.  Like the Typewriter Illustration, it was framed and given as an award to a special donor.

2012 Interval House Impact Report

I updated the Interval House Impact Report illustration from last year to fit the new stats.  I worked on this with John Lepp of Agents of Good.  It's always such a pleasure to create work for a truly an amazing organization.

Typewriter Illustration

This is one of 6 original illustrations I created for Interval House.  The illustrations were framed and given as awards to select people who had donated to the women's shelter over the years.

This particular one was given to a women who has been a major donor and was a journalist in the 70's.  She championed the issue of violence against women.

Interval House Gratitude Report 2012

I love the 2012 Interval House gratitude report!  It was created and designed by the wonderful people at Agents of Good.  Throughout the report, my dollhouse illustration can be found in the photos.

I created this dollhouse illustration for the 2009 gratitude report.  The people at Interval House liked the illustration so much that they bought the framed original.  I'm so glad it continues to be a loved and useful piece of artwork for this Toronto battered woman's shelter.

Interval House Impact Report

Back in December, I worked with the amazing people at Agents of Good (John Lepp and Jen Love) to illustrate an infograph for Interval House woman's shelter.  John and Jen are so wonderful to work with and I think it's their caring, positive energy that make the work produced really great!  I have to say I'm very happy with how this impact report came out.  I love that it's a nice blend of storytelling and numbered facts.

Interval House : Brochure Illustration

Earlier this summer I had the pleasure to create another illustration for Interval House. The illustration was for a brochure about the woman's shelter.

This piece was art directed by John Lepp of Agents of Good!

Interval House Gratitude Report : In Print!

Yesterday I made a trip to Interval House to deliver the framed original illustration I made for their Gratitude Report. While I was there, Ashleigh Saith (the Resource Development Coordinator) gave me a tour of the building.

Before I left, she gave me a copy of the printed report and a postcard promotion. It's always very exciting to see my work in print! The beautiful design is by John Lepp

Interval House Gratitude Report

In December I was contacted by John Lepp of Agents of Good to do an illustration for Interval House, a battered woman's shelter in Toronto. John wanted to give the feeling of a warm home and a safe place for woman and their children. He asked me to create a dollhouse illustration, loosely based on photos and floor plans of the home.

The full image is featured on the cover, and crops of the rooms are reused inside the report. In addition, I created a cut out alphabet that is used to highlight text in the report. As well as two pie graphs.

John did an amazing job on the design and text in the report and it was a real pleasure working with him!
