These images were created
for a NY interior designer. His client was wearing a
pair of shoes like this and he wanted to incorporate a
very large scale image of something like them into his
apartment.
I think shoelaces are harder to draw than faces: shadow, shadow, shadow, highlight. Beat up old shoes seem to have a very distinct personality. I modeled these after a pair of my son’s old ones. Wasn’t sure I’d ever finish. We’re working with the base of the shoe color now as well as the cropping to figure out what looks best. Once printed, I’ll sign the piece.

*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!

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.

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!

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.

she was learning! Go Mom!
Here's what my client had to say: Many thanks, Liz, for doing such a wonderful job and for getting it done so quickly, even with my changes. I know it's going to be a real kick for my Mom -- can't wait to see her face! ~Thanks again, Ginny

Hopin' third times the charm!
28/10/10 02:19

3rd go at this logo. Changing of concepts as far as the meaning of "fresh" in Get Fresh. At first the concept of "fresh" was to be represented by a wink. Hmm, that just didn't work. The second one was just not quite there as the feeling was a bit too "fresh" (as in trouble maker) and wasn't sweet enough. For this third version, we will see if this cute and adorable concept in "Fresh", as in young and fresh, works. (Provided about 6-8 hand drawn rough sketches before that too!) It's all about bringing the right meaning of the store name to a memorable character reference that will please customers.
Some logo concepts go much faster but logo design can be a process until the client hits that eureka moment. Once I spent a week with a corporate client not sure on "just the right shade of brown." That's the job.

And they came right in the nick of time -- thanks for pushing the fixes up. I did a lot with this project today, including using some of the still images you sent me before, which I can use for almost-animated versions. They look great, too.
The animations are the icing on the cake, which I will intersperse, and maybe ask you to put a few more together later on. (I have more ideas than money!)
Many, many thanks. ~Ginny
And yet another nice comment!: I'm glad to hear how fun this work is for you, Liz -- mine is for me, too. But your art is so soulful and inventive, whether it's on the fun side, tender, provocative, or zany. I love seeing each new image. ~Ginny

The whole shebang!
27/07/09 07:01

I'm having some fun here. This graphic has a lot going on. A full body graphic, an Indiana Jones theme, a New York night sky and the event will be held on a boat. This is a few steps up from the standard portrait package but will blow up unbelievably into a gorgeous print. Unlike most full body illustrations, the same amount of attention as a standard portrait was put into the Bar Mitzvah's face so that it could also be used as a stand alone blow up on its own. The intended use of the graphic is a welcoming sign onto the boat, sign-in art, table tents, place cards as well as being incorporated into the custom invitations. (For the layman reading this please note that the word "proof" has been written across the graphic for protection purposes. This will, of course, be removed when printing.)
One thing to keep in mind is that my artwork is drawn with the intent of blowing up BIG! Massive detail work is put into the graphics which can't be seen on the teeny tiny scale of the computer. Here's a blow up of the bar mitzvah's eye. These illustrations are super detailed and intense to draw!

guitar and runs track! We're creating three posters for
his Bar Mitzvah referencing these varied interests.

I thought I'd show how changes can be made with the
graphics. Mom wanted to make sure our Bat Mitzvah
girl's outfit matched on her image. So off with the
"corporate" look and on with the strapless black
dress! Shazam!
2nd proof with changes--New look!
Initial Proof copy--outfit too "corporate"
Here's what mom had to say:
Dear Liz, Just a quick thank you for your awesome work on all Audrey's projects…from the poster to table cards, your images were a big hit. Hope to work with you again. Best Regards, Janet

We're ready for our close-up.
29/07/08 11:17
My artwork is meant to be
seen LARGE. Which means on the teeny-tiny format of the
computer you are missing some of the POW! of my
poster-sized pieces. Here's an example of Elise, a
lovely girl with lovely fine soft features which can
get a bit washed out on the small screen. I've blown up
parts of the image and, as you can see, when they are
blown up even this little bit you can see so much more
of the details and shading which make the pieces so
rich and engaging.

Diane - creating "eyes that sparkle"
22/07/08 11:06
Here's an interesting
version of what you can do with the eyes in an
illustration. The client requested "more sparkle" in
her eyes as her entire life people have said she smiled
with her eyes. Here's the first version...
...and here's the sparkle version! They really pop. I created the difference by layering a series of the lighter shades within the eyes with a variety of gradients. Further I added additional shading and highlights to the outside of the eyes to draw in the viewer. Its a subtle but very powerful difference that really changes the viewers perception.

From the client:
Hi Liz,
Here are a few pics of the poster at Evan's duckpin bowling party tonight. Everyone loved it!

Meant to be big

My artwork is designed to
be blown up HUGE! As you can see from the detail here
from "sarah's right eye (scroll down to the bottom of
the page for sarah's whole image) . Shown in the
teenie, tiny scale of the internet really
takes some of the power away from them. If I only had
to worry about my work appearing on the net I could
probably cut down my illustration time to 1/4.
To get that wow factor, I include a FREE portrait poster with the basic package. Its a huge 2' x 3'.

Diane has a fabulous website named http://www.businesswomenspeak.com/. She provides straight, clear ideas concerning how to get your voice heard in a male-dominated financial field. This cover is for her book called, "Soar Beyond the Glass Ceiling: Lock in on the secret weapons gauranteed to rocket your career."

I was just emailed this
from one of my Bat Mitzvahs. In this case the mom used
the poster to highlight where the sign-in books were
and to help direct the guests to different locations.
We also offer mini-poster prints (actually not so mini
11" x 17"!) for only $8.99 in our shop sites. These are
great on doors and outside the building for parking
etc. Don't forget the art makes great thank you cards
too, all available in your shop. Don't forget this
poster art is included in your portrait purchase.
