Mysterious things happening in the studio

String arrangments

Coming up with parts that take longer to transcribe than they did to write.

Usually I'll just draw some little squiggles that only I can interpret, but if the parts are really complex I feel better writing them out in notation. Whatever the choice, I just have to be able to remember them when it come time to play! 

Not shown: the ten gallons of coffee that go along with this process. 

Vintage botanical print save the dates for Doris and Jonathan

Doris and Jonathan share a love of gardening and cooking, and they bought this lovely vintage botanical print on a trip to the wine country they took recently. We used a detail from the print, and one of their sweet engagement shots, for a design that I think really captures their elegant but playful style in a charming way. I'm quite sure it will be an especially delicious reception!

Wishing you all the best, and sincere congratulations, guys!
