Day 69 • Count Up To 50! — TBT — A throwback to circa 1993. American Greetings Life Magazine Outsert Ad Illustrations.

This was a style proposal piece for the American Greetings ad. AG liked it but felt it was too over the top for the Life Magazine ad. We did more streamlined versions of the illustrations — still pastel, but not as "balloony" and with less marks showing. The job went all the way through the keyline stage and at proofing they killed the art and went with photography.

Day 48 • Count Up To 50! — #TBT — Painting from Materials & Techniques Class

I did this painting while in my last year at Kent State University (1989). The class was Materials & Techniques. Each project used a different "Old Master" Technique (ex. egg tempera, trompe l'oeil). I can't remember what this painting used. I'm guessing some really thinned down oil paints on gessoed board.

Day 42 • Count Up To 50! — Skillshare Project — Beatles' Tools Poster

I created this yesterday for my latest Skillshare class. It was suppose to be a postcard but I made it a poster. We were to pick 5 "Tools" of something. It was suppose to be done in Photoshop but I wanted to show that I could do the same basic thing in Illustrator. Broke another rule and added a third and fourth color.
