Calgary Chalkboards Update, Recent Work, Happy 2017

Hey Friends! Here are some of the latest chalkboards I've done in my lovely city of Calgary. I've been keeping busy with some of my regular clients as well as a couple of new ones. My favourite so far this year was the Scenic Paris Eiffel Tower scene with the hot air balloons, for one of Canada's top 100 most Romantic Restaurants, Q Haute Cuisine. The requests for signage has been increasing and it's been a real pleasure to help out so many people.

Chalkboards for Ripe Tomato Pizza Calgary

It's been a really busy past few months! if you don't already, please follow me on Facebook and Instagram where I post the latest and greatest projects! 

It was really great to work with the crew at Ripe Tomato Pizza on a couple recent items for their Marda Loop location. Created their menu board as you see above, as well as the mural on the chalkboard above the kitchen. 

 Got to do a cool illustration that will be printed inside their pizza boxes
"Pieology - What is Neapolitan Pizza (and how to eat it!)"

 

Custom Illustration Chalkboard Signage for Calgary Business, J Webb Wine Merchant

Updated the chalkboard at J. Webb Wine Merchant in Glenmore Landing, adding fresh colours to liven up the room - including an illustration of their new Farmers Market location! Worked with the team on a layout that suited their needs. Left space so they can hand write weekly promotions, "J Man's Quotes" and events.

Willow Park Wines Chalk Boards

Recently I have been adding some life to chalkboards above the beer fridges at Willow Park Wines and Spirits! Located at the main location, South Calgary in the Willow Park business mall. Great way to promote upcoming events and feature products at the establishment.

Food and Beverage, Chalkboard Illustration, for Flor de Cana Rum

Check out this commission I did for Flor de Cana, located at Toad and Turtle Barlow North Calgary!

Prepared the custom design and did hand drawn illustration that you see in the photos above. It was great working with Flor de Cana and the management at Toad and Turtle!  It was an enjoyable task to draw the Toad & Turtle characters, as well as render the bottle and mojito illustrations with chalk. 

Chalk Board Signs for Etsy Made in Canada, Calgary

 This summer I had the opportunity to create some chalk boards for the Etsy Made in Canada, Calgary event!  Much thanks to my friend Lindy for getting in touch for this cool project and taking these amazing photos! I couldn't think of a better person to co-ordinate the decorations.

Check out more photos and details on the event on Lindy's Blog: Here

Bowdog Calgary Chalk Mural, March 2014

Recently did a fun commission for Bowdog here in Calgary. They specialize in everything Canine! It was a lot of fun to meet so many dogs while working on this drawing. They have a great team of people at a nice facility, so if you need lodging, grooming, daycare or training for your dog, Bowdog is highly recommended.

This wall was done with chalk markers instead of traditional chalk, as the wall is located in a busy area and dogs would brush against it while walking by.

Working with Bowdog's marking team, we decided a visually interesting way to present their services was with a 'word cloud'. Another integral part of the Bowdog brand was "Sit Stay and Play", which fits quite nicely under their logo dog tag on the left.

Happy Helpers :)

 

  

Kids Caricatures Calgary Artist, for Westjet Family Event

Had a great time drawing caricatures for some cute kids at the Westjet Family Christmas party this past weekend.

 It was held at the Telus Spark Science Center from 9am-12pm, and they had 6 caricature artists working. Here's a glimpse of some of my favourite drawings.

 

 Dominic, Pheonix & Tristan: These three brothers probably share a lot of things, including this drawing! Benjamin likes the Wii and was sooo happy that I drew him with a Wii controller. Gavin melted my heart - the look on his face when I turned the drawing around to show him what he looks like as a cartoon character. He likes soccer and dogs too. What sweethearts.

Teegan's favourite color is pink and wanted me to draw her makeup in the drawing too. Tamana was very sweet and likes purple! Reid was only 17 months old, and in talking to his mom, she said he points at lots of things since he can't speak much yet. He's like a modern Gerber Baby! 

Breakfast at Tiffany's, New York 1960s Themed Chalk Mural

This was a custom chalk mural done for a Breakfast at Tiffany's Bridal Shower at Q Haute Cuisine! 
What a fun theme. I recently watched the movie after hearing about this project. Crazy I haven't seen it till now. Audrey Hepburn was a darling and so was "Cat".  The poor Cat scene of him sulking in the rain was just too darn cute.

I met for tea with the sister of the bride, Natalie, along with event planner Alexandra Joy (AJ) of Pink and Honey Event Styling.  They envisioned a 1960s New York Skyline, with the famous quote from the film's theme song, Moon River. I was really glad they liked the sketches I showed to them, and thrilled at the end result.

AJ put together a blog post with incredible photos of how the event all came together. The styling and details were incredible, what a memorable celebration. I was so glad to have played a part in it.  http://blog.pinkandhoney.com/breakfast-at-tiffanys-bridal-shower/
