Cody, the one armed barber

You heard it right, one armed barber.

Cody has won competitions here in Portland and works at Platinum Fade Salon. He has had only a few clients a week and needed a flyer. And that is where I came in.

For my mothers surprise party I was asked to create an image of Mary. Being a surprise I have been unable to post this until now. Enjoy

Original image is 16x20,

Hand drawn, line work rendered in Inkscape, colored/shaded in Photoshop with tablet.

Family Love

I went through a friends facebook photo album and found a stock photo of a family and this is what I came up with.

It was a tremendous hit with all of my friends and family and I thought I would share it.

Pro Wall Completed!

I have finished a wall setup for my clubs tennis professionals. This was a long project that turned out great.

Created for a tennis pro wall I am coming up with for work.

Vroom vroooom

I stumbled across Ford's website where you can customize your own Mustang. I created this killer green number.


Then I brought it into Photoshop and this is what I came up with.
