What a knockout! Callie was just so much fun to draw. I love, love, loved her hair and had a great time drawing it. She's getting ready for a fabulous Bat Mitzvah.

Went through an interesting process with this invite as the initial product provided by my online printer was not up to my standards. I had to have the entire order redone and put it into my custom format. Its really fabulous, crisp, colorful, rich and luxurious, I love it. My client loved the finished cards and told me they looked so good he didn't want to mail them!

Here's a real stunner! Gavriella is so gorgeous! I'm currently working on Gavriella's invites for her Bat Mitzvah which will be presented in a 5" x 7" "Purple Haze" metallic petal fold card stock. They should be fantastic!

Here's what mom had to say: "Looks gorgeous, we really love it."

Mock up of Gavriella's invite. Gavriella's actual invites will be placed in a "purple haze" card stock, not the midnight blue as seen here. This is just a sample to showcase how the petal base opens into the invitation. (Below images were taken with my lowly mac camera which gives a mirror image!) Gavriella chose to have our custom rsvp email site, that links directly to her mom's email address, handle guest information.

Here's what mom had to say: Liz, The invitations are amazing, very contemporary and unique. You have to see Gavi’s face when she looks at them.Thanks again for everything Liz, I am sure we will do business again.



The petal invite sample closed.

I loved this! I received recognition for a logo I had created in an International Competition and was published in a book. The book is called "Killed Ideas" and it recognizes ideas of (cough) "creative brilliance" that have been cast off or under appreciated by clients. My logo was one of the top 50 selected out of hundreds submitted.

My logo is also in the running for the People's Choice Award at Killedideas.com so please cast a vote for me by June 30, 2009! Pick #13, Crew logo !!



Here's my logo spread!

More sailing fun. Here's a great image for the cover of a birthday invitation. The card's final size will be 5.5" x 8.5" and will be printed on a UV coated card stock.

What a beauty! Alexandra was so much fun to draw!. Alexandra chose the blue gradient background for her art and it worked seamlessly with her tonal coloring. Her hair, eyes and skin tones brought out a wonderful richness in the color contrast of this piece. ~L

Here's what mom had to say: Got the posters and they are wonderful! Getting them mounted at Hobby Lobby on black thanks for the hard work! Thanks again for making this very special and unique! ~Claudia

Heard from mom again after the Bat Mitzvah! Thought you might enjoy this everyone loved your work thanks again!

Because of the wonderful colors Laynie choose for her bat mitzvah, I incorporated a style which would give everyone at every table a different look! Every card is unique because of the placement of the background graphics and text bar coloring. Laynie choose to use the transparent mini envelopes with her cards. Place cards are business card sized. To see other options in envelopes, check out our order page.

I'm putting together some art cards for a wonderful "green" charity. The cards will be produced in a series and sold to support the Rain Gardens at the LBI foundation for the Arts and Sciences. The featured artist of the cards is multi-talented artist Paul Daukas whose work has been featured in two recent shows (and who is also my father). The below pieces, "Catching the Wind," "New Barney," and "Storm Coming," are part of an acrylic series he created featuring Long Beach Island, NJ. To find out more about the LBIF Rain Garden go to http://lbifscience.org

Here's what they had to say: The cards came out beautifully!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received them Friday afternoon and we packaged up some for the dinner last night at the LBIF. Don't know how many sold, but they looked great. Thanks again for your beautiful layout and design work. Have a pack for you when I see you next. ~Sandy

What a great event this will be! This was a rush job but I LOVED drawing Justin. What an exciting theme. What fun to draw.

Here's what mom had to say: We LOVE these!!  You nailed it! ~ Randi

What a great looking bar mitzvah boy. It was such a pleasure to draw all those fabulous blonde curls. Don't you just love that smile!

Here's what mom had to say:
Hi Liz, We received the graphics today, and the whole family loves them! A friend of mine said they looked just like Joshua. I'm sure his sign-in board is going to be a big hit. Thank you so much, and thanks also for your nice note. My daughter can't wait until it is her turn. All the best, Troi

Lots of fun 70s action here. Our bat mitzvah girl loves retro and looks great!

Here's what mom had to say:

Liz - I am so excited with the picture! You truly captured Laynie - what a talent you have! I am just so thrilled that this image on the sign in board will be the first thing our guests will see - it will set the tone for a really fun evening!

And, here's what our model had to say:

Hey Liz,
I love the portrait of me, I think it looks so much like me and you did a great job, Thank you sooo much!
Love, Laynie

Here's a handsome golf lover who just happens to also be celebrating his bar mitzvah!

Thanks, Liz.  Daniel and I really like the pictures you drew for his sign in board and the welcome sign.  I appreciate your talent and sense for detail and colors.  The posters will enhance the decor at the party.  They are really special and different. ~ Gwenn
 

Here's a beauty. Sydney's Bat Mitzvah theme is "red hot".

Sydney's Bat Mitzvah just passed and here's what mom had to say: Just wanted to thank you for Sydney's graphics. The sign in board & poster were HUGE hits. Everyone has been asking me where I got them. Also the thank you notes came out great. Thanks again. Debbie

Logo concept for a fund group. The square logo represents a mountain ridge as well as upward growth on a chart.




Another logo version for the campus to career idea but with a font the client really wanted. The campus font is so strong and unique that its difficult to blend it with the formal "career" idea. The banner/pennant representing college has also been styled to resemble the campus font to bring balance to the look.

This was more a slice of life that lol funny.

Oliner Graphics will now print seating cards and table tents! Mini Envelopes are available for seating cards on our "order here" page. They come in a variety of colors and flavors, match your event colors! Come in packs of 25. Check them out here.

I spend a lot of time in this gig removing braces from kids smiles, fixing hair, drawing new clothes and making people all around fabulous. This image amused me because the mom wanted the braces drawn back on! He's so cute!

Montclair High School Swim Team logo. I wanted the swimmer graphic to look like it was flying over the M. I was looking for the concept of speed and action. You are supposed to see this and visualize the M on the bottom of the pool.

I put this invite together awhile ago but had to wait until after the party to post it. Got lots of fun feedback on this one. Scroll down a bit and I took a horribly grainy pic of it with my mac camera.



Here's the horrible mac camera photo. Of course, the mac camera always gives a mirrored image for some ridiculous reason. And, I have no desire to flip it.
Anyway, the final print out was pretty big, a 8.5 x 5.5 folded card UV coating on one-side. The colors printed nicely too. I used overnight prints to print it and they did a very good job.

Here's what mom had to say:

I LOVE IT - you are so talented -- but I have known that for a long time. This is going to be so unique! No one down here has ever seen anything like this.

I think all your choices look great. I like the stripe and the red -

next message:
AWESOME!! it is perfect. I like the red background for the portrait but if it is a hassle to make them with two different backgrounds ( one for sign in one for portrait) stick with what you have.

This is so cool - I just showed it to Andrew and he LOVES it -

Thank you sooooo much.

Robin

Here's a handsome young guy, ready to go for his bar mitzvah in March!
