Pret-chicus!


This is my Grandma Brown! I found her picture scanned in on our photo drive and really wanted to paint it for her.

"Originality Is The Art Of Concealing Your Sources"

I recently "discovered" purple, as I have realized that it adds a nice depth to pieces, so I did this monochromatic face in a blue-purple.

WPA-Style And More Modern Style Logos

My uncle is setting up a site and needed some graphics and a logo, so I spent my whole day putting these ideas together:
This is the final logo idea I came up with.
Did this color sketch in Painter X, then went to Illustrator to re-trace it with vectors. Took me about 6-7 hours or so.
Put this other idea out there after the other logo, done in Photoshop.

Painter-Happy

Just finished this one, it's a mountain study.
Done this afternoon.
Hayley Imbler came over yesterday and played with the art pad, she drew everyone's names that way, and I then took over the name and filled in a bunch of experiments--discovered many new brushes--and then realized it kinda looked cool.
This was a very fast, rough color sketch of Hayley, she commissioned it, and it looks hardly anything like her, but that's her problem.

Headers

The logo was chosen (the second from the top on my last post), so today I made the main header and the sub headers.

New Clients!

Syncnet, Inc.'s new client Minneapolis Real Eastate Investors Association is my new graphics project. These are the logos I submitted for the choosing, I like both of the top ones. (They're in order of creation from bottom to top. Finished them Wednesday)
