The sea rabbits III
60th wedding anniversary
I was recently commissioned by private clients to make invitation and table place cards, on the occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary.
What a thrilling project it was! First because it is not everyday one meets a lovely couple who celebrate 60 years of marriage, and second because it led to my playing with symbols.
Here below is my illustration for the invitation cards:
And here below, is my illustration for the table place cards:
The background I painted for the table place cards was initially too bright, and prevented a clear perceptibility of the diamond.
So, I decided to change the background for a darker blue, and made the change on Photoshop. The names of the guests were written down on Photoshop as well.
What is it with these birds? Well, they are Eurasian cranes; they are monogamous for life, and they are symbols of longevity and fidelity.
I also love drawing birds :)

Secret7" (2015)
You will find below my submission for the annual event Secret7". In the end, my sleeve was not selected for the exhibition at Somerset House. The money raised via the project will go to the charity Nordoff Robbins.
I chose to work on Dead Flowers by the Rolling Stones.
