Retirement gift caricature

This was such an awesome experience to asked  to paint a Illustration, by someone I painted before  for his retirement from the police force in Tampa. This time around the commission iwas for a Donna head of security retiring from Busch gardens. I am proud of it, and I do see details I would like to have done a little more, but I kept within budget!

There is nothing better seeing your printed digital work come out!

Donald Trump

I know it has been a while since I posted on my blog, sorry about that. I have a new commission for 6 Illustrations depicting Hell, childrens book in between and other  gigs and regular work.I found some time last night while I was at Pier 60, Clearwater beach to sketch up Donald Trump for Caricaturama Showdown 3000. I got to run more to share soon I have to finish picking up leafs in the back yard before the rain comes. I talk more soon enjoy and God bless!

I JUST UPDATED THE DONALD WITH A GREEN BACK GROUND AND ADDED A BETTER JACKET. SOME DETAILS WITH $ SYMBOLS IN THE BACK GROUND

Julio's the Baker

I don't usually do art for other fellow employees I work with, but I could not resist to draw the best baker I have ever known Julious. I kept asking me to draw him everyday so I could not resist. I will be doing a phase two on this project of what He wanted to be drawn nude with a big package, I did one like this for his family to see and not sure if I can share on here? I like the looseness but also I think it works. I used Sketchbook Pro for sketching and Photoshop CC for the tones and colors.

Jacques Cousteau Painting

I was able to tighten up the sketch I did of Jacques Cousteau,while in the hospital for my foot. I have sudo Gout or Carious (not sure about the spelling) but I am home and got 7 caricatures and a gag editorial Illustration to work on, so I can not play on this one any more. I hoe you enjoy and check out all the other artist on the Caricaturama Showdown 3000 very talented artist on the page

David Bowie big fan of his work

I have been working on my children's book and will be finished I hope before Christmas, I had to keep saine and paint something I experimented on. I like keeping the sketch visual, and having some areas more detailed. I have always liked the strange factor of Davids music, and I tried to capture that in his painting. Do all think that the style works and did I really get a likeness?

Pirate Doc 50th birthday painting

Right about now my long time client Grace Ariss is having suprised birthday party for her husband. She has always supported me with other Gift caricatures, St Jude's Catholic spirit week event, Maderia beach middle fish fry in the past. Now she ask me to paint a #caricature #portrait to be used at the sign in table. I hope you enjoy the art and I do like to hear your feed back.

Robin Williams RIP

This Caricature portrait of the young comedian and actor Robin Williams was in honor of him and his family. It was a great shook to me to hear of his passing, and that he was last one I would have thought dealt with depression. I sketched him in Sketchbook Pro, and colored in Photoshop. It took me about 5-6 hours to paint. I feel so bad for the family he left behind!

George Gilbert The Eccentric Comedian (Updated)

I was really honored to asked by a fellow entertainer and friend from Pier 60 Sunset festival to paint George Gilberts profile and make up a logo for his business! Here is the sketches and final.

Tim Burton Caricature

I was trying get this done for the 6pm deadline for Caricaturama Showdown 3000 group on face book but I guess the time was changed, ohh well back to my other work. I was fun to draw Tim Burton

John Kascht Artist Painting

John Kascht is the visiting artist at the ISCA Caricature convention in San Antonio Texas this year, and I could not make it this year! I had to at least paint him. While working on this I tried to achieve the water color feel, but with digital tools in photoshop. We had a digital work shop with Jan Optebeck on the ISCA forum, wich I missed but knew I had to get this talented artist a painting of mine! I have more to go, but for now here it is!

Cecelija Den Underbara (the Wonderful) Lidberg

I have been having some big admirers lately liking my work on my facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/larserartist , but ironically the one girl that has been responding the most is Cecelija Den Underbara (the wonderful in swedish) Lidberg. I decided to draw her because
1) After looking at her facebook page, her eyes and face was really wonderful
2) She has been supporting my art on my fan page!
3) She is also a girl friend to another artist https://www.facebook.com/christian.lisstorpfdekberg or Tag name Jack Nepasha. I grew up admiring his work is Graffiti while growing up in Gothenburg sweden from 1979-89. I knew then I had to do this! Other news to be posted soon I will have some work at a gallery on Redington beach this Saturday and will be working at Pier in ST pete on 4th of July!

Tom Waits Caricature Portraits

Here is a current Caricature Portrait done of Tom Waits for the Caricaturama Showdown group on Facebook. I had fun painting with Acrylics and tried to create a mood that is similar to his blues music. The original is 5-7" on Canvas. To commission your own painting just first check out my website: www.larserarts.com and then either e-mail me or Call any time 727-422-0668. I should have really tried to exaggerated alittle more to be recognized on this group, but maybe I wanted to do more of a portrait this time because I needed more for my portfolio. I hope everyone is doing good, and I always like to keep in touch.
