Rose and skull, Wedding Invitations

Our friends Dawn and Todd are pretty cool people with some funny ideas on how to get hitched. Todd is the owner of Zero Zero Hair on Capital Hill. Every year they have some pretty crazy Halloween party’s so I wanted to help them out with this. Plus it’s not everyday that you can draw some bloody roses and skulls for a wedding invitation.
Originally they had plans to get them screen printed at my neighborhood screen printer, D and L but they where on a budget and time constrictions. So we went the easier path and had them printed at Stinko’s for a fair price.

I like the Internet for photo reference, definitely a big fan of hunting down cool books. But for a spot drawing the Internet is rad. First loose sketch, tracing paper, tracing paper, more tracing, and some beer (it was a Saturday people, seriously). A little back and forth with Dawn on the copy and there you have it. Not a bad way to doing something cool for some friends.
