Quite some time ago, I had come across some interesting artwork on Etsy done by a fellow JMU Alum, Megan Noltan.  Her Etsy shop is called Art Shark Designs, and she sells an awesome collection of my limited-edition gocco prints.

A few of my favorites include her London Love (ah, I miss living there and being able to see this site whenever I want):

and New Orleans Love – another amazing city full of amazing memories with my fellow marketing majors at JMU:

But my absolute favorite, is the JMU Love print:

So when I heard that my good friend and past colleague from JMU Athletics, Alyssa, had gotten engaged to her boyfriend Brian (who also works at JMU) I knew this would be the perfect engagement gift for them.  Prior to purchasing, I contacted Meghan and asked if she could do purple umbrellas instead of the red (JMU colors), and she kindly obliged :)

Here’s a look at what the print looked like matted and framed:

I can’t lie, I really wanted to keep it for myself!  I have quite the collection of framed JMU prints, my degrees, and photos of my favorite moments during my stay there in my room, so it was difficult to part with :P

Thanks again to Megan at Art Shark Designs for the personalized print.  And a big congratulations to Alyssa and Brian!  I wish you both the best for the future!
