another love letter

May 13, 2009 – 5:51 pm

I can never get tired of receiving emails like this:

“Hi Jamie & Christina!

Ruby & Buster’s Decopaws arrived yesterday. Woohoo!!!!! They are so freakin’ cool! We positively love them. The colors are perfect for our family room and they go really well with the canvas paintings we currently have in that room. 

Thank you both so much for all the hard work you have put in for our beautiful prints and Decopaws. I know I’ve said it before, but it really is an honor to have Cowbelly pieces hanging in our home.

Thank you so very much,
Mark, Tristan, Ruby, and Buster Brown”

Awww, this brought tears to my eyes. THIS is why I do what I do. :-)

Here are Ruby and Buster’s completed art pieces:

More kitty images to come soon! And also Charlie and Seymour. *And* some shots of Fergie and I- a rarity for sure. :-)

Charlie Lightroom art

February 4, 2009 – 3:33 pm

Bet you didn’t know you could design art in Lightroom did you? Well, you can. With enough tweaking of the sliders and a little bit of creativity, you can create some off-the-wall designs, like this one of Charlie I did a few weeks ago. I like him in pink.

Ruby Decopaw art

February 4, 2009 – 3:21 pm

Ruby’s art I am currently working on. Behind on doing proof revisions, something I do for the vast majority of clients. Many art pieces needs a little tweak here and a little shift there to be ‘just right’ before being sent off to the printer. I have been battling a chronic illness the past month (one that has been around for two years and seems to be worse during the first quarter), and although I thought I was on the upswing last week things actually got worse, which has left me behind on so much. So now I am doing the best that I can and trying to get the most important things done every day. Also taking my ‘magic tonic’ which has amazing curative properties even though it tastes like moldy herbs in alcohol! Mmm, mmm….

Ruby. Her proofs are unique in that I have never done anything like this before. I am working with size contraints, so instead of choosing the size from my price sheet, we designed our own based on my client’s space. And what is so cool about this commission is that my client is agreeing to go with my idea of doing 3 separate tall canvases instead of one large triptych. I positively can’t wait to see how it looks on their wall!

Imagine the 3 proofs below as separate canvases. I want to do this for my home too!

I would love to do a die-cut triple fold card with the following proofs. A thin black border around each of them would look so cool.

If I get a chance to photograph Ruby’s art once hung I will share those shots here.

Tiggz Decopaw art

February 4, 2009 – 3:10 pm

Next up, Mr Tiggz, who some of you may remember from his sneak peek post, and also his photobook. His mom absolutely adores him. 

This first one was what I call a ‘wildcard’. I frequently design a proof in the colors and design that I think the client would like, but is not necessarily what they asked for. Do they ever order the wildcard? Yes! About 30-40% of the time.
