Postcards from Arizona

October 27, 2015 Dani Renwick

This is a postcard design I finished up for Mackenzie Collier Interiors in Phoenix, Arizona. Mackenzie is a great interior designer, with modern sensibility paired with great love for quirky vintage things. I love her style and was really excited to help her out on this cool, square postcard.

I love snowboarding ๐Ÿ‚ Iโ€™ve been shredding for 20 years and I plan to for as long as I can. I illustrated this piece last week, after we got dumped on like 24โ€+. It was epic snowboarding, especially for the Midwest. Nice fluffy powder everywhere. The temps were hovering around zero, negative 20-30 in the night and mornings. โ„๏ธ
Today, itโ€™s 44 degrees and raining. The two feet of snow we have is nearly gone. Schools, which were closed for dangerous freezing temps last week, are closed today because rain has turned roads into ice skating rinks.
โ˜”๏ธ
There hasnโ€™t been a time when climate change has been more obvious. The news talks about polar vortexes and stuff, but what about today, 80 degrees difference? No follow up of whatโ€™s happening this week, or that itโ€™s an 80 degree swing in temps. ๐Ÿ”ฅ
I sure hope we get to keep snowboarding, Iโ€™ll really miss it if snow goes away completely. .

I made this first in @procreate, then transferred it to a linoleum block and painstakingly carved it for print production. In Procreate I used the Holiday Lettering Tool Kit creates by @homsweethom and @stefankunz, as well as @retrosupply Procreate brushes. โœจ

I drew a festive mural Thursday night because one of the local news stations was coming to my house to interview me. I mean, you can have the grocery list up still for that ๐Ÿ˜‚ swipe for process pics and video, and a behind the scenes photo of my interview that will air after the new year. โœจ๐ŸŽ„

A quick drawing before I went to this years solstice party. The gathering is with a bunch of people I super love, and this drawing is what it feels like to be around these women (and men) on this night. Sheltered, safe, loved despite the snowy night. Happy Solstice ๐ŸŒ•โœจ

Big thanks to the peeps at @themillatvicksburg for the lovely gift ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ–ค It was such a pleasure working with this team, I wish their project all the success.
.
I worked with Paper City Development, the company behind The Mill. I had the pleasure of working through the naming process and some initial branding exercises. The branding shown here was developed by talented @theimageshoppegr .
Their project is in the early stages of redeveloping a 425,000 square foot paper mill that is surrounded by 85 acres of wetlands & fields. The honey shown was made by bees on their property. The Mill is building a multi-use development that is based on the craft beer & food culture, and plans to have all kinds of awesome beer gardens, festivals, event space and residences. .

These are a few of my favorite things ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„ vintage glass ornaments make me SO HAPPY. I love the type on them, the flourishes, their faded colors, the design, the CARE. People buy plastic junk now, so I just really like to only put these relics on my *plastic* tiny trees. ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ Listen itโ€™s all about balance people. ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ„
