New website and blog!

I finally designed my own website! Here is the address: ashleysamantha.com

I will be posting my design stuff there from now on.

Thanks!

Lauryn Galloway Photography

I recently designed a logo, business card, and blog header for Lauryn Galloway Photography. She wanted the logo to reflect her personality, look hand-made, incorporate bunting (she makes custom banners for the couples she shoots) and include colors like peach, coral, and aqua. It turned out really cute. Thanks for letting me work with you, Lauryn!

Below is a very rough sketch of a different version of the logo that I liked as well:

Hey Buffo

This is an awesome painting I did for my friend's birthday after we spent a week+ driving across the United States. I think it looks more like a minotaur with dandruff than a buffalo covered in snow, but I do kind of like it.

Typophile Film Festival credits

This is a project we created as a class when I was at BYU. I was an art director and animator. It won a few awards: ADAA Finalist (Motion Graphics), 2008; ONE Show Silver Pencil (Titles), 2008; Honorable mention in I.D. Student Design Review, Oct 2008.

Uncommon Goods email

I illustrated this Stocking Stuffers 101 email for Uncommon Goods. It is really fun to get to work with people that like the way I draw and write. Thanks Gaby!

for me, for you

I read this blog called For Me, For You and while I was painting my kitten ornaments I painted one that looked like her cat Wendy and sent it to her. She blogged about me today. Thanks Kate!

Beehive Bazaar

I set up my booth last night for the Beehive Bazaar! Then I ran to get that sweet skirt hanger from Sam and when I got back the place was so packed I couldn't stand far enough away from my booth to get a good picture. This was the best one (except for that girl that looked right at the camera). I could not believe how many people were there. I'm sharing a booth with Camille Anderson and her fuzzy stockings you can see were a BIG hit. There is a lot of great stuff there. It is open today from 10-10 and tomorrow from 10-8:30. Hope to see you there!

Another Etsy Update

All of these items are on etsy and will also be available at the Beehive Bazaar on December 3-5. I am pretty excited/nervous about it. Let me know what you think!

Chrismas Cards!

I just posted three sets of Christmas cards to my etsy site! AshleySamantha.etsy.com. Check it out.

Holga try #2

After my first roll of Holga film I read something that made me think I was rolling the film wrong. Turns out I was doing it right the first time and now I have two rolls of film that I wound incorrectly. I was mad at first, but they are growing on me. Most of these are from Yellowstone National Park.

we love washers and dryers

Aveda Remessaging Banners

Aveda had me make these ads that will show up if you abandon your cart or leave the site.

"Christmas Cards with a Cause"

This is card #1 in my Christmas card series this year. The theme is "Christmas Cards with a Cause." This poor snowman melted his lungs out smoking that pipe. Stay tuned for more in the series.

I really love our new house. This is one of my roommates.

Martha Stewart 4th of July invite

Under the direction of Eric Pike, I designed this 4th of July invitation that was in the July 2009 issue of Martha Stewart Living Magazine. I finally took the time to scan it. I think it turned out real cute.

happy birthday jo!

Batter UP!

This hand-embroidered shirt is now on my etsy site. I love corn dogs and I love softball. This shirt is the perfect combo. This little hot dog is really excited for his turn in the batter.
