Here are a couple caricatures I did not too long ago for Land O' Lakes for two gentlemen who are retiring. One man had been there for 40 years and traveled around throughout that time. The other a Renaissance man who eats healthy and loves to workout and boat.

Blog finally updated!
This is a digital painting commission I did for a client of their granddaughter.
It was a gift for her daughter. There is a story behind her outfit! I did slight exaggerating
to it but it's basically more realistic.

I usually don't frame the art for my clients, but I did in this case.
Clients may want specialty framing and matting done.
Delivery costs can make it more expensive too.
If clients are local and willing to pay more, I will do it for them.
This caricature styled family portrait has the same little girl as before.
Here is a big moment for them when they sold their house.
These are some custom clip art illustrations for General Mills. I am trying to evolve my cartooning but
I need to have newer characters interact with ones I did years ago.
I have done some updates to my website. I recently worked for a PC gaming/software distributor doing packaging design. I put a couple example up. Please check it out when you get the chance!

ArtSamurai.net Homework For Sept. 4th
Here is my homework for ArtSamurai.net for Sept. 4th.
The theme was storytelling and layout.
The assignment was: Imagine what it'd be like for a superhero (established or your own) to either change into or out of costume. Draw a one-page sequential of this character changing, and create a story around it. Use as many panels as needed. Be creative and have fun!
After the workshop I decided I wanted to do revisions to it based on critiques from instructor Tom Nguyen and what I learned from the critiques given to the other students. (Plus some other stuff I just wanted to do!)
I changed Bruce Banner's hair to something more like Mark Ruffalo's. I tweaked the face a bit too. I wanted to have the Hulk's face changed to face straight because that is the "money shot". (I also feel I wasn't pulling off the upward shot.) It's all about practice and trying to get better. It was a good exercise.

The workshops are fun and challenging. I want to improve with each assignment and make the assignments into prints that I could possibly sell. I recommend doing the workshops and doing the same! :)
Here's my third take on it. After more workshops I feel I am getting better. If I redo it again, I should just start from scratch!
