Happy Father's Day

Last year for my Father's birthday, I asked him what he would like me to paint for him. He said that he would like a portrait of all the grandchildren. This painting is done from seven different photographs. I am not super comfortable doing portraits, so this was a challenge. It took a while to get all of their faces to look like them, but I think that I got pretty close.

Karate Logo

This is the logo and mock-up business card that I made a co-worker who is trying to start his own karate studio. Ka is the Japanese word for the element fire. He hopes to open next year.

Nursery Mural

One of the nurses I work with is having a baby in September. Once she knew she was having a girl she was so excited to have me come out and paint her nursery. It took me 12 hours and got a crick in the neck, but she is uber happy with it.

Crane

I finally finished the crane version of my origami painting. I want to put it in our living room but Heath says that there shouldn't be a painting over the tv and that they will compete for attention. I like how the brown on the foil makes them look like leather, though it is hard to tell on the photo.

Singing logo

My step-brother asked me to make a logo for his wife so that she could brand herself and have a theme for her business cards and website and blog. She picked the one with the purple guitar. (I was secretly hoping she would pick that one. ) The one with birds came in second but I'm posting it because I thought it was cool. You should check out Beth's website and listen to her sing.

Aprons

Here are the ladies wearing their aprons for the bake sale/cookbook sale. They apparently loved them and hopefully they will make a ton of money off their cookbooks. Thank you Mother for sending me the picture, it made me smile.

Cookbook

My mother asked me to design her a logo for the cookbook of Copper Canyon, the city where she lives. She needed it in a week and a half, I did it in two days. I was a little proud of that.
