Dreamweaver Calligraphy was commissioned to create a series of calligraphy "props" used in the hit television series, "The Vampire Diaries". The first thing I was asked to do was to submit 5 samples signatures for the two vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. They had to look like how I thought two young men might sign their names in the 1600's. Once the production company decided on which two signatures they liked best, I got to work on the Founding Fathers First Annual celebration document. Not only did I do all of the traditional, Old English calligraphy at the top of the document but I also had to make up all of the individual signatures on the document itself. In addition to this, I created the place cards used around the house at the Founder's Day party where artifacts from the founding families were on display. Please feel free to look through the pictures below, both of the artwork itself and its design process as well as some of the photos I took when I got to tour behind the scenes of the show!
