Hommage to a legend

2008-10-07T13:05:00.005+02:00

As a huge movie fan, I always wanted to create an illustration of Hitchcock. Started months ago with a few sketches but due to loads of deadlines never found the time to start the actual painting. Eventually got triggered by some colleagues and pulled out my sketches again. My hommage to a great director!

HANKS HANKS HANKS

2008-09-24T17:37:00.006+02:00

I made the sketch for this illustration a while ago,

but never finished it.
Am trying new techniques and ways to illustrate (new brushes layering etc.).
Not yet finished but worth posting, I think.

Joe Biden

2008-09-15T18:42:00.012+02:00

Had some sparetime yesterday, so created the missing link in my election piece : Joe Biden.
First looked at some pictures, then at some videos of his speeches. Jeezzzz... this guy has many faces.

After a couple of different sketches, I got the look and feel I wanted for him. Now, hopefully find the time to complete the whole thing. Have created the final idea in sketches, but am very interested of how it is going to turn out in the end.

This one is part of the bigger Obama/Mccain piece that I want to finish next week.
