Monica Henk

This is sad to say and to fathom anyone I know to go through it. It has been circulating on the Four Strokes Myspace Page. I figured since i am reposting it on Myspace, that i should also put it here. This was Monica Henk, (click for her myspace)a talented and extremely BEE-UUU-TEE-FULL woman. God bless her.

Artist Monica Henk who used to tattoo at PURE, was in a terrible hit & run motorcycle accident this past Saturday. She went into a coma and her family made the decision to take her off life support after the doctors determined there was no hope. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and has yet to be caught. There is a hefty reward and description of the vehicle below. Please forward the flyer around and help spread the word.


Dan Henk, (click for his myspace) is going through a horrible and shocking tragedy. Any info or help would be beyond appreciated....

I am late but HAPPY EASTER!!!

Ok so I am an amateur photographer and I lurk through a lot of Pro blogs. I came across this one and I sent it to all of my family and friends at Mark Eric Photography. Heres one of my favorites:

Which one do you prefer?

So I updated the RSVP card for Hillary. in the first one the rsvp card was updated just a bit. But it still needed more. The second has more color and wording relevant to the wedding location (a Vineyard in California). So...which one do you prefer? Leave a comment below.

A match made in Brooklyn

The last few months I became addicted to Myspace.com It has been awesome making contact with old school mates and friends from long ago. So I found Tyese, a woman I was in the first grade with! We also went to Middle school at Phillipa Schuyler (class of 91).

She put her engagement pictures up on her web page. As I explained to her the work that I do, we exchanged a note here and there. She and her Fiancée are looking for a plum, lavender colored invite with a possible Brooklyn theme. These are just mock-ups of a possible scheme. I took a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge and with the magic of graphics; I made it into a backdrop. I liked the idea of the gate fold. It has a "Welcome to Brooklyn" feel.

Hillary part II

Today I put the finishing touches on Hillary's wedding invitations. She had seen an invitation made by Kate Spade. But that style was discontinued at the time she came across the picture with the brown backing. I worked at recreating the flowers and once that was done we were all set. Now... I put a little something extra together for the rsvp cards. Miss Hillary is a no fuss bride. She just wanted wildflowers. So whatever I made for the rsvp's had to be clean cut because really, this is a surprise! When I publish this blog, she will see them before the proofs are sent out. Hillary I hope you like! Really, the pictures do not do them justice. Michelle Stacey
