Cranking out apps
26/10/11 09:11 Filed in: samplesApps
Once again, the posts have
been minimal as we are busy cranking out some new app
concepts to support our Learn Line-by-Line app,
Shabbat Blessings. We are still
plugging away producing marketing material for this
and I'm looking forward to making some cards to
introduce the app to area Hebrew educators. We're
going to be offering up some free game apps to bring
a little fun into it. Below are some screen shots of
the app to give you an idea of how you'll learn.
Every line is broken down into it's simpliest parts.
Don't forget you can gift apps in itunes! Great for
little kids and relatives.




another app concept
20/09/11 15:18 Filed in: samplesApps
Working a bit on a new app
today. Of course, I'll need to keep it for a surprise!
Just in the drawing and development stages and we now
have a killer idea for the next Line-By-Line©
app to follow that. Very, very exciting days ahead!!
Don't forget to check out our first app "Shabbat
Blessings" at itunes. Helps the kids lock down those
Friday night blessings. :D

Working on an outline of a handsome upcoming bar
mitzvah. Have to try to finish cranking this one out
today as there is a bit of a rush. I incorporated a
different fun angle to this one so I'm really
enjoying drawing it. Also reading a book "The Obstacle Course" by Neal
Voron for a potential book cover. Really
enjoying it, check it out online at the link.
Upcoming - looking forward to upgrading my site so I can figure out ways to market my apps and illustrations together more effectively. Also planning a giveaway on my app "Shabbat Blessings" to bar mitzvah businesses and vendors. Stay tuned! :D

almost finished graphic for the new app ad.

Needs a little more
shading and am working on the hair color a bit more.
The model has light hair, thought darker hair may work
better with this particular product. The blue square in
the iphone will contain a graphic of the app. I can't
show that image until it's released.


New!!!! Bar/Bat Mitzvahs~Stay tuned!

I haven't been posting for
awhile as I've been developing a new business. I'm
currently working with a great partner on an app
development business and we are putting out our first
app in the next few weeks! (We're SO EXCITED!) We're in
the process of forming an llc and I will soon be
classed as an apple developer. So fun. The below image
is a rough teaser for an ad I'm creating to help market
it. The Bar/Bat mitzvah crowd should be excited for
this one too! It will definitely help the kids! Stay
tuned!


Update on the good/evil book cover
13/04/11 17:25 Filed in: samplesbook covers

The is the approved book cover although I'll probably tweek it a bit more. Looking at it now I see some leading I want to fix. I'd like to make sure it prints as a duotone with two different metallic inks but I'll have to find out my limits from the publisher. The book sounds amazing and has gotten fantastic reviews and the BIG NEWS is that it's coming out soon! Yes, that's still my image on the cover, since the modeling budget was $0 and I needed a face I didn't have to pay.
"The Nature of Good and Evil: Understanding the Many Faces of Moral and Immoral Human Behavior is an inspiring read. After I finished reading this book, I wanted to do good works and combat evil wherever I saw it. I will live differently because of it. Read this book. It will inspire you, too." --Everett L. Worthington, Jr., Professor of Psychology and Author of Forgiving and Reconciling

And More!: This is PERFECT, Liz! Let’s go with it! SOooo excited! Thank YOU! ~Debbie
And More!: Oh Liz—You are wonderful! Thank you for the heads up on the “boys will be boys”* thing. If that happened I now that Ariel would be devastated! Oy! Thank you for EVERYTHING! Can’t wait to show off this poster!! Can’t wait! ~Debbie
*Illustrator's note: "Boys will be boys" references the possibility that a mustache could be drawn on the sign-in-board image by some wild teenage boy you didn't want to invite anyway. If this happens, it's not a problem! We simply have another print made of the sign in art. The portrait image is cut out and placed over the mustached one. Viola! It looks fantastic and flawless!

Made this adorable place
card stand for my client's son's bar mitzvah. The mini
envelopes (not shown) with the place cards inside of
them will stand up in the little grooves at its base.
So cute!

Finished my second twin for the Don Draper Bar Mitzvah. Gave a lot of thought of how to best position the boys so I could come up with the group picture to uniquely express their individual personalities. I wanted completely different facial expressions and body positions which were different yet equal. I think I got it.
"Don Draper" Bar Mitzvah

Here's an incredibly handsome guy named Idan. Not
only is Idan handsome he also has a brother who is
equally handsome since they're identical twins. Mom
wanted the guys to look similar but different. I
thought by having one stand and one sit we could
incorporate both of them into the same image for a
welcome sign or banner. I really worked with the
lighting on this image, I wanted an intense light and
look from our young man. Don Draper, the gorgeous
sophisticate from the Mad Men series was my muse
while I was drawing. Idan looks fabulous!

Working on Identical

through it.

I really get a kick out of
seeing all "my" kids following their big events. I love
drawing them and basically sit here in front of my
computer most days, head phones on, wacom pen in hand,
drawing logos and faces for events. When I get to see
the images at the actual event it's like a ray of warm
sun has reached me in my office! Look how sweet and
gorgeous Ariel is!! What a beautiful young girl!

Here's my latest bar mitz,
complete with sign in art and event poster/invite
cover. I had a great time with this one. I used the
boy's last name, Ratner, in the sign-in art and called
it "The Ratner Pack" for that tie in to the
Dean/Sammy/Frank element. I was trying to make him look
like he was escaping from the paparazzi with the lights
and the urban wall.
