More Xmas Illustriousness

January 4th, 2007

Xmas 2006, Pt. 2

Here’s the second image. Company name changed, of course. More stuf in the new year, so I’ll try to get regular, as I try each year.

Here’s the first of the cards I illustrated for the mortgage company.

Last Year’s Xmas

I don’t think I ever put this up. It’s for a mortgage company, who stuck with me for this year’s cards, too, so I’ll put those up soon.

Where the bloody hell are you?

Oh, right, the weblog thing.

I haven’t been completely idle, it’s just that there isn’t much to post about that’s tangible. Here’s one, though, a promotional mailer that I did earlier in the year that the client rejected. Not one of my favorites, but that’s what you get with rush orders, sometimes.

(Company name changed to protect the you-know-what.)

This gets turned into a larger sketch . . .

Which gets refined in the computer . . .

Then bits are added that further complete the thing . . .

Once the drawing is done, it’s painted.

Finishing touches are added . . .

This is last year’s Xmas card. I’ll try to remember to link to a bigger view, since I’ve restricted myself to 450 pixels wide on the main page, here. The haiku at the left side of the image reads as follows:

Snow falls in silence
Over mountains in winter
Soft spheres in steel hands
