hi. my name is aubrey and id like to make a valentine for you.
hi. my name is aubrey and id like to make a valentine for you.
? do you have a valentine this year? maybe you are very good at making friends and lovers and you have more than one. thats ideal for such a day.
the idea : !shoot the messenger!
/perhaps you would smile if you found out that someone baked a cake for you and then smashed it in their face ...in your honor. thats how this whole thing got started:)
if you have someone that you would like to send a special valentine to, just send me their name and an optional short+sweet message, and Ill be your messenger.
//the essence of these valentines is gestural. its about ACTION ACTION ! each valentine is a shiny and new idea that will be done in your valentines name, and your valentines name only, and documented throughout the process. i then print it, wrap it all up in a red envelope, and send to off you!
heres a handful of examples and some details following:
(more to come)
...a bunch of strangers tellin Fergi that i would like to officially reserve her for my valentine this year.
...only fitting to make this one for Chuck. (as a side note, ive known her since kindergarten.)
...pickin out all the luckycharm hearts for rebecca.
for ...for Jordan. cause she likes pretty things and parties.
...a message for my lovliest sis, Jamaica, was flown sky high.

some details :
please pass along your valentines name (you can do first, or first+last). also, if you’d like me to try incorporating a message, pass that lovin along as well. short and sweet messages are best (approx. 10 words), so i can fit them in the photo.
the cost of $35 goes towards supplies and process (cakes, cereals, confetti, sneakers, t-shirts, whatever your valentine happens to include) . i then print these on different papers/cards according to the imagery. some are printed as posters and then folded up, some as cards, some as a stack of tied photos with a card atop. all mailed off inside a red envelope.
you can trust that ill act out a special and unique gesture from you to your valentine and make it pretty.
because i only have two hands and valentines day is just around the corner... i can take the first twenty requests that come my way. if you’re interested in doing a gift for someone’s birthday, just for niceness, or even a late valentine. just shoot me an email and ill be very happy to make something for you.
(also, if you’re in a pinch, some valentines are available as pdfs sent straight to your email. just ask/email me about this option if interested )
big thanks for stopping by!
