This was a promo piece for the namesake of our Illustration Studio. Pencil Pushers Illustration. We were around for about 9 years. Very hard but fun times. Talk about trial by fire. It was a many nights and holidays at the studio. Took hour naps on the floor during all nighters. One of my longtime and dearest friends, Dave Evans posed for the picture. We used each other as models quite often. In fact Dave was our go to model for several project. He can be seen in medical illustrations, promo pieces, business magazines, and even in a time life book! I have a link to his blog also. He is and illustrator and is studying animation now.
Wow! This brings back memories. Thanks for the shout out Keith. Those were fun times. And I know they were difficult times as well. But I have to say the quality of work you were producing was top notch! I know we are at different places now but I have to say I'd love to see you paint again someday. Surprisingly, I'd bet you'd see that your craft has actually gotten better (if that's possible) even with time off.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I would hope that time would make me wiser and that it would also help my painting skills, but you never know. Use it or you lose it, they say. The results remain to be seen. I will have to force myself to to do another one.
