2010 Junior Idol Winner!
Posted on March 10, 2010
Congrats goes out to all 3 wonderful singers, Marissa, Brooke and Maura in our junior idol contest!
A big congrats to Maura for winning with her wonderful sweet angelic voice! I really enjoyed watching Maura (singing with her guitar and later keyboards-Wow!), along with all the other contestants and the talent they brought to the Schuylkill mall this year.
Here are the 3 fun digital cartoon designs for the winner, Maura and also a fun caricature for Marissa and Brooke.
I LOVED creating the bubbles for this!

Wedding Caricatures are in Order!
Posted on February 24, 2010
I had the pleasure of designing another wedding cartoon couple and it looks like another order is coming in very soon.
These digital cartoons are great for party favors at your wedding. I recently had one couple create champagne glasses with their cartoon image, along with creating thank you cards to follow up after their wedding. However, most of my clients matte their caricature to have it as a signature board displayed at the reception on an easel.
There are so many FUN and creative ways to use your wedding digital cartoon!

Paul Pelak, from Florida was my February winner for a digital cartoon creation as my Featured Favorite Facebook Fan.
Paul is a director of the Academy of Design Tampa Alum. With the help of some of his talented friends, he runs the very best place any individual can learn to become a professional photographer anywhere in North America. He and his friends love what they do and nobody does it better.
Update: Message from Paul!!!!
They look absolutely fabulous, Hon. My staff & students are really impressed with the way you captured me; and I love the retro style (how did you know).
Psst, “they” meaning I sent a few files to Paul with and without the black box, and sexy smoke, along with a file that can be used for websites without having that white background.
Please click on my Facebook Fan page (to the right of my blog) and become a fan. You too can be a winner for a FREE digital cartoon!
I have over 700 fans! Thank you!!!!
Digital Cartoon for Client!
Posted on February 18, 2010
I recently designed this cartoon for a client of mine to make invitations and other personal prints.
Digital cartoons are designed by my hand (the artist) utilizing my 21″ cintiq touch screen tablet and stylus pen, and drawn into an art software program, such as Painter and Photoshop. This design was created and finished in Painter 11.
These digital designs are a much better and cleaner way to use for websites and other prints, rather than scanning original art and cleaning up all the line work in a computer art software.
