family crest
Custom Wedding Illustration /
My friend and extremely talented Seattle wedding photographer Sean Hoyt has written a blog post over at Affinity Photography documenting my process when creating a custom wedding crest for newly-wed couple, Nick and Kelsey.
This is something I've been gearing up in the past few months, offering customized wedding, family or just celebrational crests. These hand painted illustrations incorporate elements that help represent the individual style and personalities of a couple, family or individual.
Here is the crest I created for Nick and Kelsey (who are both pilots).

Ariel and Sharon Family Crest /
This summer I saw two very close friends get married which (obviously) means art projects! Step one: A new family crest. Sure, it's a bit goofy, and yeah I have no explanation for the tentacles, but just think how annoyed it will make their descendents!
The next part of the gift I did with a small group of the newlyweds close friends. The idea was for each of us to give them a part of a dining set. Mrs. Levenson handled the cutlery, Mrs. Anatrone provided the napkins, Mrs. Findlay the contracts and I provided the plates.
These are the plates stacked. (Again with the tentacles, I know). Each plate has a Roman numeral on it and when they are stacked in the right way they reveal the year of the wedding, or spell something unpronounceable. Here are the four un-stacked.

Levenson & Little Family Crest /
This was (my) part of a larger project. This addition went on the lid of a silverware box. Unfortunately this little cell phone pic is the only proof I have.
