Deborah Paris is a contemporary American landscape painter. “Her moody, tonal paintings reflect an intense, intuitive connection to the natural world and its rhythms.”
In her new book, My Own Country, you’re invited to pause, ponder, and linger on the beautiful light and texture of Deborah’s paintings. Her thoughts and inspirations that influence her art add an interesting dimension and personal insight to the painter. We hope to see more of Deborah’s work in the future.

This was a wonderful wedding album we designed for our clients, Puja and Ankit. They had a traditional Indian wedding and wanted a coffee table book that would show all the different events that occurred prior to and including the wedding itself.

Back in January, we were fortunate to have designed a wedding book for our clients Letty and Bas from South Africa. They really loved their book and recently contacted us to design another version of it in a smaller format so they could give them as gifts to their bridesmaids, groomsmen and family members.
We recreated the larger 12" x 12" book into a 7" x 7" format. Then created a brand new cover for the smaller version. We hope their friends and family will enjoy these memories as much as Letty and Bas.

While the title of this novel may be "Extra Ordinary", the author of the book is not. This was a wonderfully written first novel by a young, up and coming novelist, Carina Sarda. She is "extraordinary" in that she wrote this book when she was thirteen years old. We were contacted by her father to put this book into print for her. Carina is currently in the middle of writing her second novel and we look forward to hearing more about this rising star.

We were contacted the other day by our client, Bob Barancik to let us know that his artwork series, "ART NOT HATE" was covered by the St. Petersburg Times. Bob is showcasing his art at the Florida Holocaust museum and we were fortunate enough to work with him in creating a companion piece 8 x10 book of his art.
Bob writes us "I believe that the show got the coverage because the ANH Blurb book caught the attention of Lennie Bennett at the Times..."

We created this small 7 x 7 book as a surprise gift to our clients Hannah and Paul. We have worked with them over the past year and a half creating FIVE books for them and another one for Hannah's mother. We've wanted to give them something special and could think of nothing more perfect than ANOTHER book! Congratulations to you both on your recent wedding and we hope you enjoy the book.

This week, we were contacted by Diana Aslanian, a professional life coach. Diana recently finished writing The Answers Are Within You, and contacted us to see if we could transform her writing into a graphically pleasing 7" x 7" book. We worked with Diana's color scheme and selected an interesting font to compliment her style, then created an engaging cover for her book.

As Seasons Changes is an excerpt of a much larger collection of poetry written by New Jersey trial attorney, Richard Philip Klein. Our client hired us to compile his poetry and create each page with a different design relating to the chapters topics in the book. With over 100 pages, it was a daunting task. We used a lot of interesting color and font treatments to each of the pages. The end result was a very beautiful, engaging and visual journey through his words.

We were asked by our client to create a book of all the newspaper and press clippings for the Keane Brothers. John and Tom Keane were teen sensations in the late 70's and early 80's. They were the youngest entertainers in history (ages 11 and 12, respectively) to host their own variety television program. The brothers Keane released four albums and were quite the teen idols throughout their career. We put together a "RETRO"spective of all their articles, images and magazine covers for our client, who was going to present the book to the two Keane brothers as a surprise gift.

This was a really fun travel book done for our clients who frequently take vacations on cruise ships around the world. They finally collected a selection of their favorite images from different trips and tasked us with putting together a cohesive story of their great adventures. We managed to put together a beautiful 100 page book that they gifted to all their friends who have travelled with them throughout the years.

Letty & Bas was a 175 page wedding book done for a couple from South Africa. They had an incredible three day event, including a visit to The Airstream Penthouse, located atop the The Grand Daddy Hotel in Cape Town, the second event being a jazz and cocktail event held at La Brasserie, and finally the wedding and reception held at the beautiful La Petite Ferme. The book was designed to showcase each separate event of the wedding. Congratulations to the happy couple.
