Press from around the globe

We work with clients around the world, and we are honored to have our maps and stationery featured in the current issue of Wedding (U.K.) Thank you to Victoria Sullivan for including our letterpress wedding day itinerary and save the date map!

Large format map prints

We've been creating a lot of new illustrations, including large map prints and paintings. The prints can be created up to 12" x 18", and the turn around time is approx. 2-4 weeks.

Original paintings are also available at any size. Feel free to contact us for pricing and turn around time.

Washingtonian Bride & Groom

We are delighted to be featured in the premiere inaugural issue of Washingtonian Bride & Groom. Special thanks to Eleni and Renée Comet for their beautiful work.

Bonne St. Valentin!

To celebrate our favorite holiday we've created a Valentine's Day card of our favorite holiday spot, the island of La Digue in the Indian Ocean. It is the perfect place to relax, paint and enjoy nature.

One of our favorite artists, Barbara Jenson, works on the island and creates beautiful portraits of Seychellois women as well as vibrant Creole scenes. George Camille also exhibits on the island in a gorgeous new studio named The Green House.

Feel free to contact us if you would like a copy of our new letterpress map. They are also available at the tourist office on La Digue.

Happy * Holidays from San Francisco!

Created in collaboration with the lovely Anne at Mira Aster , our new San Francisco map will be welcoming the new president and his family to their new home at the White House.

Destination Wedding in Bali

Our studio works with clients all over the world, and this project is for our wonderful client Giok, a bride in Malaysia getting married on the Indonesian island of Bali. It includes the calligraphy and illustration for a pocket fold design with a hand painted invitation, itinerary card and map.

The map is painted in watercolor and includes our signature Couture Maps kissing fish logo.

We supplied the digital files to her so she was able to oversee the printing and production locally. This option is great for overseas clients who are creative and wish to save on the expense of international postage and customs fees.

Parsons School of Design

One of my favorite professors at Parsons School of Design (now Parsons the New School for Design), illustrator Sergio Baradat, has created a beautiful, vibrant collection of tropical fruit stamps for the United States Postal Service.

As a student at Parsons, this image I created in Sergio's class, was the award winning illustration for the Parsons poster.

Change!

Our wedding maps featured in première issue of Stationery Trends magazine

We love all things paper so we are delighted to be featured in the new trade magazine, Stationery Trends. Special thanks to the editor Sarah Schwartz for including us throughout the issue.

Vintage Calligraphy

Long before the internet and email, we were creating stationery from our little Greenwich Village studio. These are circa early 1990's.

All images are from the library of Stephannie Barba.

Couture Maps created for American Express

To celebrate the première of the new American Express card, we have been honored with the task of creating a series of maps which can be seen around New York.
