At the Car Show.

 
 The '70 GTX featured on a show card I did up (shown in an earlier post) was the BEEG WEENER at the Southey Mopar Muscle Meet this year...must've been that show card that did it, right?... ;)

Recent Show Card.

This was done for a fella with a freshly restored purple '70 Plymouth GTX, debuting at this weekend's Southey Mopar Muscle Meet. As I needed to have a front view of the car for the design, and none was available, I decided to tweak an existing image of a '70 Road Runner (the red car shown below.)

SOUTHEY 2011!

Here's my latest poster for the Annual Southey Mopar Muscle Meet. The illustration of "Swervin' Mervin Ritter" at the wheel of his former fun-car, a '69 Coronet R/T drop-top,  is actually close to 20 years old - I just tweaked it here and there to work with the rest of the poster!

Snelgrove project.

This is a 10X20' back drop that I created for Paul Snell, owner of Snelgrove Classic Auto. He wanted an old '30's vintage-looking garage setting, to be used in conjunction with displaying vehicles at car shows, and also to eventually adorn his garage wall at his storage facility. I also did up a pair of show cards for the two trucks he had on display at the Majestics show. Nice trucks...

Home Lotto stuff.

For those of you who may have received this material recently in the mail, it's origins can be traced to my desktop - although I must admit, the end-product differs significantly from the original draft!...

Recent caricature.

 


This is JANET, another former co-worker at the LP, and recent recipient of an employment termination package. She said the only thing she REALLY wanted as a parting gift was one of my caricatures...I'm touched!

2011 MAJESTICS Car Show Tee.

I did up 5 variations of the poster artwork for this year's car show T-shirt, and I was very pleased when they selected this B&W "old-timey"  tee. Can't wait to get mine!

Here's my effort for this year's Majestics Car Show - we're featuring Kelly Peace's black '34 Ford, rendered a la Ed Roth, and the info laid out to mimic the look of the old Hot Wheels packaging...fun, fun fun!..

FestivAle 2011



This is the poster, event booklet, and a few other promo items from FestivAle. Last year's poster was a little more entertaining to do, as it involved a graphic of a Hostess where the beer glass is now...oh, well.

ZOMBIES ATE MY BRAIN!

This was done for my friends at Tantrix in Saskatoon. They complained that their gift card was a little dull, and didn't convey the proper "attitude" of the shop. I was told to do something more befitting of a tattoo parlour, and make it "colourful." Zombies it is!...

Who Wants a Cold One?







These are examples of a some beer labels that I created for The TAP in Regina and SHOCKWAVES in Saskatoon (now defunct.) the round items on the Shockwaves image are coaasters...goodness knows, you don't want to leave a ring on the bar!

Vampy Gal.

This was done as a gift for a former co-worker who enjoys the currently-popular Vampire genre - she also paints decorative stepping stones, so why not with blood, in keeping with the theme?... :)

A Few More Tantrix Billboards

I've had the rare privilege of collaborating with the good people at Tantrix Body Art in Saskatoon on much of their self-promotion over the years...I always enjoy working with Mike and Leanne, because I get the chance to do stuff that would ordinarily be "too far" for most clients...these billboard signs are indicative of that!

Lawnmower Man.

This is how caricatures usually come together: a good, clear, recent colour photo of the intended "victim," occasionally specific backgrounds/tools/vehicles, etc are included, a "gag" or significant quote of some sort, and voilà!

Sketchbook, @1995.

I found these when I was going through some old sketchbooks, looking for the line art for another old project I'd done. I never found what I was looking for, but it was an interesting trip down memory lane just the same...
