Art Updates

Wow, two posts in one day! I gotta keep this up!


Here are the finished pieces for the Karaoke crew. I was working in Photoshop with these, but I had accidentally downsized and saved them, so I moved over to Illustrator. I love the finished product you get from Illustrator, but damn is it slow work.
In the end, really happy how this came out and I think my clients are too. Great success! Let's hope this leads to more work!


This is a sketch I did to hopefully land an illustration gig for some online site. Haven't heard anything yet, so we'll see.

So that's what's going on artwise in the Daniverse. Thanks for stoppin!

044 - Valentine's Day Portrait (IP)

Trying my hand at some digital painting. A portrait of my girlfriend Kate and I for Valentine's Day. It's taking a little longer than planned, but I'm happy so far. And, as a gift for her, I got the most important part done first XP

Thanks for stoppin'!

041 - Walter Day

A charicature of Walter Day, founder of Twin Galaxies and original referee of video game records. If your at all interested in retro gaming, you should check out two movies: King of Kong and Chasing Ghosts. Chasing Ghosts is a great overview of the gaming phenomenon of the early 80's and focuses on a handful of guys who were pretty much the best of the best. Games back then were ruthless, it's flooring to see the dedication and skill those guys have. King of Kong focuses on the journey of one man to achieve a new world record in Donkey Kong.
Anyway, Walter Day played a big part in making retro gaming to what it was, and he's just a goofy lookin guy, so I felt compelled to do a portrait of him.

Thanks for stoppin'!

038 - Karaoke Mike

Kate has brought me out to Karaoke out in our hometown of Burlington a few times now and despite being an introvert and self conscious, get a few beers in me and I'll sing some flippin' Karaoke till last call! It's good fun.
They guy that runs it is a big guy named Michael. He's quite the character, so here's a quick portrait of him. Simple and fun.

Thanks for stoppin'!
