Calligrapher for Team USA - 2016 Rio Olympics
Houston calligrapher and wine bottle engraver
This is how it all started. I just wanted to be able to send out nice correspondence to family and friends. Fast forward a few years and here we are...a calligraphy business was born. Cheers!
Someone asked if I could provide more pictures of the mirror seating chart that I created back in June. Wanna see it? Here it is!
I recently started engraving calligraphy for Hugo Boss for events here in Houston and it has been such a pleasure. I had the opportunity to create this engraving for Father's Day a few weeks ago. Cheers!
It is always a pleasure working with the Gucci fragrance team for Houston calligraphy bottle engraving events. Check out this bottle that I engraved calligraphy for a few weeks ago. Cheers!
You would be surprised at how often I engrave calligraphy messages like this into bottles. I LOVE IT!!! Noble Vines Winery
Obviously, I always enjoy working with the Gucci fragrance team for Houston calligraphy bottle engraving events. But it's a special treat when you also are in love with the scents as well. This one is just divine. Cheers!
Every now and then when I am engraving calligraphy into wine bottles, I am asked to engrave a message that just makes me smile. Duck hunters love wine too! Cheers! Kenwood Winery
This was a bottle that I engraved at a recent Houston wine bottle engraving event for a beautiful couple celebrating their wedding anniversary with a Noble Vines Wine. Cheers!
I have been creating engraved calligraphy on wine bottles for a number of years. There are always bottle messages that are comical, touching and everywhere in between. If you love Texas, this one is for you! Cheers! Black Stallion Winery
I couldn't be more pleased to have my work featured with Style Me Pretty for a California wedding that I provided calligraphy for! Remember that massive "Howdy Ya'll" sign? Here it is! You can access it with this link: http://www.stylemepretty.com/2017/06/23/texan-couples-destination-wedding/

L O V E. L I F E. Quite possibly my favorite bottle from the Black Stallion Vineyard wine bottle calligraphy engraving event here in Houston yesterday @blackstallionwinery This was requested by the sweetest, coolest "young" man that we had the privilege of engraving for that day. Excuse the glass dust...This one was engraved in 3.5 minutes. Score!

What do you do when you receive a mirror that is bigger than you and unframed (hence unable to stand against a wall), but you need to place a calligraphy seating chart on it? Time to work on the floor. Let's make it happen. #calligraphy #calligrapher#handlettering #mirror #seatingchart#mirrorcalligraphy #love #floor #work#writing #write #penmanship #lovemyjob
One of my favorite things to do is logo design for companies. This was an original concept sent to a client to be used as an ampersand within a logo. This was not the final version, but I developed a slight attachment to this one. Cheers!
Just a few orders of agate stones from last week. Cheers!
Justo ordenes desde semana pasada. Saludos!
As always, it is a pleasure engraving for clients at events here in Houston. This weekend, I had the privilege of working with Gucci fragrances. Gucci Bamboo has become a personal favorite and is clearly a favorite of others as well. It figuratively flew off of the shelves this Mother's Day weekend. This bottle was also incredibly easy to engrave. Even better! Cheers!
I absolutely love engraving simple, but classic metal pieces....

These were for a client here in Houston that is preparing for an event in Los Angeles. I will admit that black ink is not what I naturally gravitate to for a white background. I have an affinity for metallics, red, gray...really anything except for black. However, every time that a client requests it and I place on these marble tiles, I am forced to remember that black is classic for a reason. It's simply beautiful. Love how these turned out. Cheers!
It's no secret that engraving has become one of the avenues for calligraphy that I love...for many reasons. Even as an introvert, the engraving events are one of my favorite ways to provide calligraphy. However, there are times that some of my favorite clients don't quite have the need for an engraving event but nonetheless desire calligraphy. Enter one of my clients from the early years. When my business was maybe a year to 2 old, the team from Oxheart was opening a new bar here in Houston called Public Services. They stumbled across my work as I sent a thank you note to the Oxheart team because the food and service were just that awesome. Fast forward to now: over the years, I have executed a number of projects for them and it has always been a pleasure. These wine bottle coasters that I engraved for them this week were no exception. I think that they turned out nicely. Cheers!
These were for an event here in Houston. We used black ink on white marble. ADORE!
Esos estaban para un evento aquí en Houston. Usábamos tinta negra en mármol blanco. Me encanta!
