What I've Been Working On

I have a friend here at work whose husband is being re-deployed to Iraq for, I think, the 3rd time. (sucks) They (his unit) decided they wanted t-shirts to help out a little with morale/camaraderie.
The original design was developed by one of the guys in the unit, but it was determined to be too busy, and too many colors for a t-shirt print.
So she came to me and asked if I could help out. For our troops, I was happy to.
Below are the original and the re-design. I knew I was on the right track when S.A.M. actually recognized the plane I used! :)

For those who care, they were done as vector art in Adobe Illustrator.


Next up, I have several special custom projects/portraits, thanks to Midlife Slices! (Yea!) Hopefully she will share as I get them done!

    Great work! We have a lot of military families in my town and there is always word of people being deployed. I always say prayers for our soldiers in Iraq (and elsewhere).

    You have a real talent!

    As you already know, I FINALLY got to give HBL his gift and he loves it and I'm singing your praises over at my place. I hope you don't get so busy you can't take care of my orders. jk :)

    Seriously, I LOVE my stuff more each time I look at them.

    I envy your artistic talent! (Note I just said something to that effect in the comments on Pseudo's last blog post about envy and jealous...)

    Really, though, you are so talented. You did a magnificent job on Midlife Slices art and necklace. I'm jealous of her necklace. :)

    Good think I'm just starting a job and don't have any money, else you'd probably be getting an order from me. But it has given me an idea for hubby's xmas gift.... :)
