Working Hard in Nice, France: Day five

Sorry this post is late -I'm back home now, had a great weekend in Nice, unwinding from the busy week!

Spent my last day working on this 20-foot mosaic design for the showroom floor. I'm not quite done yet (ever drawn a million tiles by hand? It takes longer than I'd thought...)

So that's it for now, I've got to get this mosaic done!

Working Hard in Nice, France: Day four

Nearing the end of my 5-day contract.. building a huge mosaic illustration for the showroom floor (using the principles Jenny taught me after her lesson in Ravenna!). My arm is killing me.

Here's a portion.

and another.

And here's a fabric I designed which the children's clothing director wants to use for swimming trunks!

And here's a logo I made for Mark, to be used on give-aways as part of a big promotion in Italy. It's a French version of "I [HEART] ___" J'aime Façonnable, with an apple instead of a heart.

That's day four peeps... Bonsoiree.

Working Hard in Nice, France: Day three

Here's a batch of logos I did for t-shirts, rugby shirts, and embroidery...

Working Hard in Nice, France: Day two

The "Grand Hotel" theme is evolving, here is a stamp sort of graphic that will be on t-shirts and hang tags.

And here's a design that wil be used for postcards or posters.

And here's a fabric pattern I'm pitching to be used on handbags or luggage.

Back to work! Mark is throwing wads of paper at me.

Working hard in Nice, France: Day one

Here's a graphic for a 'hotel' theme Mark and I are working on.

And a logo for the same project. Like a French concierge/bellhop type of a dude.

And another logo/crest treatment.

These are all going to be used for a showroom which is themed "Façonnable - Grand Hotel," and everything is styled to evoke an elegant hotel, travel, etc. RIght now I am sitting at a tiny wooden makeshift desk facing a terraced hillside in Nice, just outside of the downtown area. The glass door is pulled wide and the Mediterranean breeze is my inspiration.
