prince.... are you there.... it's me lizzy.  

 

!

i love this fella. he's the bees knees and the best cheer-er up-er. ever.

 

cheese. are you out there?

dearest cheese. 

you make me cough and wheeze. i don't want to hastily point any fingers... but, i feel as if you may be the culprit. bummer. because, i love you. 

remember the other week... cheese and wine ultra feast with the montgables? congestion city. 

think back to last night... i extra liberally mixed you into pasta dinner and then sprinkled you on top. gastronomic delight was followed by hours of coughing. and wheezing. 

i don't want to say it's you... not me. but... what if it is. it will be a dark, lame day in the life of lizzy. 

(other contenders in allergy fest 2010... dolores park, roasted tomatoes, zucchini, whole wheat pasta, newly blossoming wisteria, balsamic vinegar.... )

i sincerely hope that i am not allergic to you cheese. 

fondly, 

lizzy

get out of town.

i mean. wow. 

 

awesome.  

a spoonful of sugar (or honey).

sometimes, as i'm slicing a banana into my morning oatmeal, i think how great it would be if mary poppins would appear and make me a piping hot stack of flapjacks.

in progress

lately, i've been working with the vapor room cooperative of san francisco in creating a new visual identity system. this includes ads + flyers, business cards + letterhead, signage...

art nouveau, antique, apothocary are three words i've been keeping in mind throughout this process.

here are the first two rounds of comps for what we've been calling the 'branding side' of the business card.

round one

and round two

round three coming soon and will feature a narrowed focus, combining design elements from several options in round two into one awesome mega card. keep ya' eyes peeled.
