MIZ--ZOU!

A couple co-workers and I got pretty festive last night with our Add Sheet store front window. GO MIZZOU! Beat those Sooners!

Some Marketplace design

My first window display! Is that what it's called? A window display? Decals? Stickers? Anyway, I wanted the windows to look like coupons...like the Add Sheet & Marketplace...get it? (they are local business advertisement publications) Look at the cute little scissors cutting! haha OK, well I get a kick out of them.

The second picture is the dark...yet surprisingly up beat!!! cover I designed for March Marketplace. A funeral parlor with no creative direction bought the space...hmmm...happy spring!

Lastly, is a new addition I designed for the magazine. The March addition was the first time adding a business testimonials section.

Window Painting

After finding a whole trunk load of old windows in an alley, I thought I could just whitewash the frames and get to painting the glass...not so much. Obviously these windows were thrown out for a reason. That reason? I found out after applying my first coat of paint...wood rot. It took about five coats of paint per window to cover up that stuff. And gosh, I'm sure it's going to come back in a couple years. O well. Who said art was permanent?

Acrylic on glass. Also haven't found a good way to seal this without getting weird spots on the glass. Ideas anyone?
