Dad’s dad’s house…

Late last year I was contacted to do a commission:  “..a picture of my dads dads place, and every summer we used to head over there and visit…”

It was too late to get it done and delivered for Christmas so I came up with this idea:

There were very few photos to work from. The best one being a Google street view. So I was pretty limited in what I could do. Here’s how it turned out:

Hope he likes it.

Becoming Frankenstein, take two…

I’ve had to redo the first few pages that I had already coloured (don’t ask).

Let’s hope it goes better this time.

Elementary…

Brian is working a textbook and wanted an updated version of the Five Elements and Platonic Solids.

Here’s the original:

I was trying to figure out what I could do with them and decided that I would try to make it look like the elements are inside the shapes which themselves would appear three-dimensional, solid, yet transparent.

Shelley asked me, “How are you going to do THAT?”

“I dunno”, I says.

Here’s how it turned out:

Season’s Greetings!

Just because the Pride Stables annual Christmas Open House was cancelled

therefore denying us the opportunity to dress up like Mr. & Mrs. Claus,

doesn’t mean we can’t still look silly:

OverGrown…

A friend of mine (since, like, grade 9) opened his own hydroponic supply store many years ago and he asked me to do a logo:

There were many preliminary versions:

 

…and now, a new t-shirt and sticker design:

Okay… that ends the “Fun With Photoshop” portion of the program…

…back to drawing.

An Old Flame…

Glenn contacted me about doing a piece with The Tick character and an aerial view of New York.

That sounded too similar to the Silver Surfer commission I had done just recently: http://gerhardart.com/surfs-up/

So we came up with this instead:
