Sam’s Birth Announcements

I was tasked to come up with a jungle-themed set of birth announcements, thank you cards and sticker seals focusing on a baby monkey representing the newborn. As I was working on another jungle safari-themed illustration for a different project at around the same time this came in, I opted for a hand-drawn and more organic look for this project.

David’s Jungle Safari

I made these client-commissioned birthday party invites back when I used to accept projects like these to fill up my illustration portfolio.

 

Illustrations for invitations are a lot of fun to do, but this was the first of many jungle safari-themed illustration requests I would soon get afterwards.

 

(So no, I don’t do jungle safari themes anymore.)
