Recent Commission

PFE International Team, (24X36, ink on illustration board). This was a large piece commissioned by PFE International. They wanted an illustration showing all their employees standing around their envelope-stuffing machine. I went to their office and took pictures myself of all the employees. They wanted two people who no longer worked there to be included in some way, so I decided to make it look like somebody drew their pictures and taped them to the machine. The American flag was the client's idea, since PFE has operations in many countries, and I have to say that it really worked out well in tying all the figures together. Sometimes I have good ideas, and sometimes my clients have good ideas. In this case, we both did.

And Another Commission

Putt-Putt Golfing, (11X14, ink and acrylic on illustration board). Here's another gift caricature commissioned by a lady for her father's birthday. I was given photos of the man and his wife and their dog and asked to create a funny golfing theme. I decided that miniature golf would be pretty comical, especially if the man of the hour was swinging and missing the ball while his wife is dutifully recording his score. I was really happy with the bodies and the color contrast I achieved in this one.

And Still ONE MORE Commission!

Family Caricature, (16X20, ink on illustrati0n board). This family has commissioned me several times for illustrations, but this is the first with their two kids. This one was commissioned by the wife for her husband for a Christmas gift. She delivered the baby literally a week before I delivered the project!

Holiday Piece

New Year's Eve at Rockefeller Center, (10X24, ink on illustration board). This client was wanting an illustration that could be separated for different members of his family, so they could each own a piece of the original. Apparently they were all going to meet in NYC at Rockefeller Center. This was a challenge because I needed to portray them all in this horizontal format, while still making it look like they were in Rockefeller Center amid the tall landmarks. I added the famous Christmas tree, the flags, and the sculptures of Prometheus and Atlas, and then tied each group together using the Christmas light string. I think it worked pretty well visually. Below are the three separate drawings. Above, they are all together.
