Len Starr’s latest painting

Posted by:

I thought I would share the latest painting I did for Len of his MG. He liked the first one I did but I wanted to give him a real painting with him driving the car. Painted in Painter 12 of course with some Photoshop edits.

Len Starr’s 1932 K2

Posted by:

I had a recent photography project of a 1932 MG K2 which is the only one of its kind restored to its original form. Len needed photos to enter the car in a show so I helped out with the photography and editing to cut out the garage background where it was restored so the judges could view the car photos and not the background clutter. Not the best way to photograph such a beautiful classic car but it served the purpose.

I also thought it would be fun to do a nice digital pencil rendering of the car with a suitable background which turned out nice so I thought I would share.
Enjoy!

I have been trying my hand at creating painted portraits from photos in Painter and Photoshop in different styles and thought I would share.

Adobe CS3 Icons – A New Set

Posted by:

The new Adobe CS3 icons are, in my opinion, very bland. I was excited to see them when they were announced, but when I saw them, I was very dissapointed. Thankfully, freelance graphic designer Adam Betts has created a new set of CS3 icons that have much more visual appeal then what Adobe has put out. Way to go, Adam.
