Arrested Development Inspired Cards

My super talented illustrator friends created these fantastic cards inspired by the comedic classic, Arrested Development. Hopefully one of them can get a walk-on for the upcoming season. 

You can even print these too! Double the reward.

Projection Music Video: "Sweater" by Willow

This music video is so neat! It was shot with 3 video projectors, and beaming images onto the walls and floor. You definitely have to do a double take a few times.

A fresh start

It sure has been a while since I posted some of my own work up on the blog. I was super busy planning our wedding, but now that the last thank you note has been stamped I've been brainstorming what the next steps are for dot + jim. I put it aside for a bit to focus on building The Nimbus Factory, but I think it's time to hop back in.

As my love for all things wedding grew over the past year, I thought why not expand on that? My inspiration was taken directly from elements of our own wedding- vintage hankies and memorable lyrics.

I hope you'll enjoy this sneak peek at the new dot + jim wedding collection!

Oh happy day!

Boy, was April 14th a fun day. Here are a few of our favorite shots!
