Seeing Green for Saint Patrick’s Day

Monday, March 12th, 2012

With the higher demand for vector illustration these days I’ve been recreating some of my favorite traditionally drawn images as vector art.  This gives me a chance to update the line work to my current stroke styling, opening it up.  Below is the original art for a packaging design for Caravali Coffee’s Irish Creme flavor.   I credit that assignment with the birth of my current style.   With creative freedom, I had 13 flavors to illustrate, creating a new direction and a new portfolio to present to a wider market.  The strong line and vivid color has found many uses in print and web as seen on this web site.  My styling lends itself well to vector, don’t you think?   But, I still welcome any opportunity to paint!  Let’s paint the town GREEN!

Illustration for laser surgery article

My line art image of a hand and face was used by Joan Barrow at Connecticut Magazine to enhance a Health story about the advances in laser surgery.  Not only are lasers useful for vital surgical procedures but also for making our slightest flaws disappear without damage to surrounding tissue.  A magic tool for health and beauty!  Here’s how the art looks on the page in the current February 2012 issue!  Sorry, I don’t have a link to the whole story which is hard to read here….

"Talking to Addison" by Jenny Colgen-Warner Books

Have a LOVE-ly day to all my online friends and family.  This image was a book jacket illustration I did for a comic novel about a young London woman with a crush on her flat mate.  He was online ALL the time making it almost  impossible to get his attention.
