Holiday Card!

Sometimes I paint a card or draw pictures for the Holiday Season. And sometimes I get inspired to do a theme for the subject matter, but most of the time, it's just random stuff.

Native American Editorial.

This piece was acrylic and gouache on cold press illustration board and was painted rather large. Working larger on certain compositions are usually a tedious process, especially, if the piece is not particularly exciting. I tend to get bored easily if I'm not into the painting. This was an editorial assignment from the client depicting a cave dwelling of a native American tribe called the Anasazi. It was challenging to not show the people in their everyday activities as to not offend or make assumptions of what they look like. Growing up in Canada, I have a certain respect for the original Americans that lived here before the settlers came.
