Deck the Halls: Suppy Room & Presidio Motel

Below is my latest design for the Supply Room and Presidio Motel's second annual Deck the Halls pop-up mall shopping extravaganza! It's a great event put on by rad people with the purpose of celebrating the amazing artists and creators in the community. Stop on by for some live music, drinks and shopping in the pop-up stores that will occupy each room of the hotel for one night only! Get your holiday shopping done early this year.

You are the light: Design Inspired by Gavin Russom

I am so obsessed with Gavin Russom's latest Night Sky 12" release that I've basically been listening to it on repeat for the past few days. Music always inspires me and this song, in particular, gave me the creative urge to pay homage to the repetitive, hypnotic beats that gradually grow and multiply over the epic 14 minute track in the form of the design below.

Design by Kamma Claire: Business Card for the Baker

My friend Katy is not only an amazing high school teacher but also a fabulous baker that brings everyone to their knees. She recently made and designed a wedding cake (not an easy feat!) for a mutual friend and quickly realized that it might be a smart idea to have some business cards...just in case this passion of her's turns into a small business opportunity.

I wanted these business cards to have a striking appearance and stand out amongst other "baking industry" cards that are all too often pastel, overly girly and just plain boring. So, I created a graphic background pattern made out of whisks and then paired it with strong, confident colors and type. The back of the card features a pie dough measurement table that I designed, to allude to the range of confections in her repertoire.

Now taking design requests for any butcher or candlestick markers out there...har har.

Design: Fashion's Night Out at the Supply Room

One of my favorite favorite clients (and friends) Kenny Osehan at the Presidio Motel asked me to design a last minute Fashion's Night Out flyer for an event she's putting on tomorrow, Sept. 8th from 5-8pm at her shop, the Supply Room. I love collaborating with people who share my aesthetic and always love the end result just as much as me. So rare, so nice. Just wish I was in Santa Barbara to partake!

Design: Emperors Club Album Artwork

The Iowa City Rockers better known as the Emperors Club asked me to design their upcoming album artwork for The Castle, which comes out on Mission Freak Records soon. I'm quite pleased with the end result that incorporates a photograph I took of the Navajo Bridge in Arizona during my week long road trip across the west for work.

Vivi Dot: Graphics Alive 2

I want to give a well deserved shout out to my friend Molly Gaines and her finance Duncan Hooper to congratulate them both on their Vivi Dot feature in the new Graphics Alive 2 book! Not only is it an honor to be included in this amazing design book, but they are the first brand to be featured. I also want to thank them for giving me props on my "popular" feather design illustration that I created for Vivi Dot last year. Unfortunately, the publisher got the credits wrong, as the two of them actually did the photography and all the rest of the designs, but it's great to be mentioned regardless! Thanks guys!!

Design by Kamma Claire: Celebrate Fen & TJ

Here's a flier I designed for my boyfriend, Fen, and our friend TJ who are both celebrating their 30th birthdays come December. TJ's wife, Stacy, and I are throwing them both a big '70's inspired disco dance party at the Space Gallery in SF. We've got some local DJ friends (Sorcerer, Jon Blunck, Hotthobo) all lined up to bring the boogie to the people. Needless to say, it's going to be awesome.

Design by Kamma Claire: Deck the Halls

It's only Halloween weekend but the Holidays are already sneaking up on me. I just designed the flier below (click image to view larger) for the Presidio Motel's Deck the Halls pop-up mall on Dec. 4th in Santa Barbara. All 16 of the Presidio's motel rooms will be transformed into pop-up shops featuring the most unique and handmade wares for one night only. Not to mention live music, festive cocktails and merrymaking of all sorts. My favorite things!

Recent Designs by Kamma Claire

I was feeling the creative itch and pretty much thrust myself full force into some freelance design projects. I currently have a few projects in the works.

First, I designed a flier for my friend Liz's birthday bash. I love this font, Parfait, and I have been trying to find an excuse to use it on everything I design lately. I love typography, as some of my favorite designs are solely type based.

I'm also working on designing some logos for a start up project called the Forever Package, which will consist of a wedding package that includes website and invitation design and video services all in one. My friend Paul started a web design firm recently and we've always wanted to collaborate, so the Forever Package was a perfect excuse and I'm really excited for it to come to life.

I'm also working on designing a logo for my friend Kenny's new boutique called the Supply Room, opening within the Presidio Motel in Santa Barbara come June. I can't wait to see the shop, I know it will have amazing wares as Kenny has the best taste. Lots of fun stuff going on!
