Liberty 2014 Hog Toy Run Logo

I was asked by my Uncle Jack to do a logo for a t-shirt design for a motorcycle Toy Run for next Christmas. I inked it traditionally and added basic colors. Still trying to find out how the t-shirt company wants the coloring in vector or if it can be rendered with shading and high lights.

I got my shirt, pin for my hat, a certificate of Appreciation and a cover letter my uncle Jack Seals who is the director of Liberty H.O.G Chapter 3031 in Rahway N.J the letter says:  I would like to thank you for the wonderful Logo that you had designed for our 16th annual Toy Run to Bristol Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in News Brunswick, NJ. the detail was very impressive when given to the shirt for printing. The Logo was so popular that we had sold over 400 shirts and pins, of the same design. I will be contacting you in the future for the next ToyRun that we promote in 2015. Again Thank You Jack Seals

David Crowder and Associate Pastor Lucas Hillman gift Caricature

I was asked to make a gift including David Crowder musician, and I decided to include my great friend, associate Pastor, and youth leader at my home church at Grace Christian Fellowship at his pulpit in the background. It was his birthday and my wife asked me to do a this for him! He works very hard and I am so thankful for his leadership of my sons spiritual walk with Jesus! I was able to work on this in between other projects. I would like so more time to do some details, but I also wanted to leave it painterly. I am thinking of making prints and using this for my post card promotions, what do you all think is it good enough to use as a promotional material?

Dekoda Watson football player wanted a Caricature for his girlfriend

I was so honored to met Dekota Watson a football player for the Buccaneers, while I was working at a fundraiser for a Children's Medical Center at Tampa General Hospital, and the event was called Orthopolozza. I was drawing Caricatures at the event and Dekoda saw my book and wanted me to do a Caricature of him and his girlfriend. I thought I only had two days to do it, but it was more like a week and half! I finished this in a day in Magna Studios. I hope you like it! I have other things to share but can't yet! Have a great what ever is left of the Sunday!

My professor Mike Hodges painting and Fiore Custode Retirement party

I was able to go to Fiore Custode retirement party at Ringling College of Art and Design. He taught there for 50 years and also went to the college! I also really enjoyed seeing my other teachers that taught me while I went there from 1990-94. Here is a sketch painting I did of my most strickt and hardest professor Mike Hodges.
