Merry Christmas!

Hope you all are having a great day.
Attached is the xmas card for this year. I took the photo last January during the snow storm. I thought it would come in handy one day. The one below that is the one I did a watercolors of 7 years ago of our house.
Enjoy!!


Retirement Gift Caricature

Here’s a retirement caricature for an architect guy who designs steel structures. I just finished the other day. It was sort of a rush job, not to mention I had a poor photo to work from. The client was very pleased with it that he has me doing another rush job with 5 heads on it with the owners of the company for their xmas gift.

Xmas card time

I’ve been quite busy doing my usual holiday cards this year. Here some that I did this year already. These were all done digitally.

Here’s a local minor league baseball team the Aberdeen Ironbirds owned by Cal Ripken. I’ve be doing their card for the past several years. They wanted to stay with the snowman theme.

Here’s a local regional TV network MASN that boardcast the Orioles and Washington Nationals that wanted a snowman theme also.

This is a local radio station that wanted to have Santa “texting” with a message inside to see what kind of response they get.

This company I’ve done for the past 4 years. This time they wanted to do the “Oz” theme?? (Wrong holiday, but it still worked.)

This a small investment company trying to figure out how the market is going to go and put it on the right track. They didn’t want too much of a “holiday look”.
Here’s some from last year.

Another Fifty!!

Whew!! Another fifty caricature. They’re coming out of the woodwork this year. This a good friend of mine from high school and college, Terry Stewart. His nickname was “Wonderboy”, so I drew him as such. He’s an excellent artist who is an interior designer now in New York City.

Fund Raiser Event

Here are a couple shots from a fund raiser event that I did this weekend. Nice group of folks at it was a fun event.


These girls dressed up as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis in “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” A 1962 flick.



President-elect

Here’s my version of our new president-elect, Barack Obama. I actually did this last week before the election. I meant to post it on election day, but was out of town at a caricature convention in NC. (Wow, what great stuff there!!)
But anyway, this my second attempt to paint digitally in photoshop. I’m pleased in how it turned out. It took longer that I wanted, but was a learning curve for sure. Hope you like it!

Happy 50th Jeffrey!!

Here’s another 50th caricature. This one of my good buddy Jeff Mandell. Jeff is a great artist who has helped and taught me a lot over the years. He’s a master at doing digital drawings and travels a lot. Check out his website and blog, GREAT stuff!! Hope you have a good one Jeffrey!!

A couple more commissions

Here’s one of a couple of guys who work up at Camdens yards, Mario and Dick that I see often. They transfer and collect money from all the venders at the park. They got a kick out of their sketch.

Here’s one I just finished the other day. It was a quick turn around. I did it in marker and chalk. I was going to do it digitally, but I needed to get it shipped out and done quickly, no room for error. It worked out pretty good.
