Johnny Unitas

Posted in: Illustration, Illustration Friday |

Here’s legendary Baltimore Colt Johnny Unitas looking for that “Wide” receiver. Is that good enough to fit this week’s IF category, “Wide”? I hope so.

This image was done in Illustrator and is actually part of a larger piece I did for CBS Radio last December. It was for a print ad that was published in the Baltimore Sun newspaper. Here’s a link to the original post.

Illustration Friday: Tales And Legends: Little Red

Posted in: Illustration, Illustration Friday, Latest News and Art |

Here’s a little something I whipped up for Illustration Friday. The theme was “Tales and Legends”.

“Little Red” is actually 100% digital. I sketched it out in Illustrator via a Wacom tablet. I then transferred the image file to Corel Painter for the colors.

All in all, I actually like this piece. I think it’s one of my better illustrations IMHO. It was certainly nice to get all of the hardware and software to actually work together to create a successful image.

Illustration Friday is kicking my a$$. I am not really happy with this at all. BUT, the whole point of IF is to grow your craft. So at the risk of public humiliation, here is “Soar”. Click the image to enlarge.

I did this one in Illustrator. It was intended to be an homage to one of my all time favorite films, “The Iron Giant”, but it didn’t turn out the way I had hoped. It just goes to show you that even the best of us have bad days. Anyway, enjoy!

Illustration Friday: Little Things

Posted in: Illustration Friday |

Me and my friend Cindy have decided to try and sharpen our skills by playing along with the Illustration Friday gang. Each week the Illo Friday guys give you a topic, and you illustrate it. No rules, just go with it. This week’s topic was “Little Things”. Here’s my take…

I did this entirely in Adobe Fireworks, a highly underrated program, using primarily the vector path tool, and the paintbrush for fill-ins. I hope you like it.
