Lars ISCA Caricature Wall 2011

I just wanted to say I really enloyed my experience at this years ISCA convention at the Tradewinds on Clearwater beach, Fl. I learned alot, and I will never forget my experience and I already planning on the next one in Texas in 2012!

Picture of my wall at this years convention.

I had to draw my friend Paul from sweden

Scott, really strong black & white!

Taka from Japan "I will have to get a better scan of his picture above really blurry"

The print came out really bad on the wall, but I spent a long time on this one! "Digital medium"

See You all next year in San Antonio Texas! November 2011

Michael C. Hall “Dexter”

I needed to take a break last night from working on my current commission of a mexican migrant working passing the border. The client wants alot of changes, and Im lucky he wanted it digital. So I took a break and played around with my gouache of a current person "Michael C. Hall" "Dexter" he is some kind of serial killer on a show I do not watch and can't remember right now ( too lazy to look up, not important). I was trying to find a regular medium I really like with my water colors. The only thing I don't like in this piece is the greens are not working especially in forehead. I had things to do today, until 6pm which is the time the deadlne is on facebook: "caricaturama showdown 3000". I was reminded yesterday that to be carfule in boasting and I believe it all because of Jesus I have the power to paint and build the kingdom here on earth. My Paster Randy Evans from http://www.gracechristian.com meansioned this while reading Acts 12:21 look it up but basically they talk about how this king Heron wore this really great and silver shiny shirt that made all the peoples think he was God, He took all that glory for him self and did not redirect towards our saviour Jesus. God made him die on the spot of tape worm eating him up! (I should have painted the Dexter serial killer like that)

1 Corinthians 10:31 - ‘So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.’

Samples of Gift Caricature of a family in Munich Germany

I was contacted by the mother of the Father in this Caricature Illustration. I like the fact that she wanted traditional media and I am really enjoying the pen & Ink and water color as my traditional medium of choice. Mark Fredrickson once told me at the 2009 ISCA Caricature Convention ( which is coming up real soon here in my home town, more to follow), and that was that I should try to leave my line work in my work as much as possible because that was my strong point. I am trying to find a fine medium between the liniar work and more tones and values. due to the fact that it is a gift for Christmas everyone will have to wait to see the full final here are close ups that I liked.

Retirement of boss and friend Dave Posey

Retirement of boss and great friend Dave Posey. I have become really close to Dave, he has meant a lot to me and I will miss him at work, but it will not end my friendship with him. He is so lucky to retire! He loves Jesus our savior, and cares about everyone , and he served in Vietnam.
