Christmas 2017 Commissions (D)

Here are some of the results of my Christmas commissions sale:

Instagrid!

For Taylor

For Maci

For Katie

For Nick

For Steve

Also for Steve!

For Lisa

Thanks, everyone!  I had a lot of work to do there at the end of the year but it was fun to do a variety of styles and subjects, and I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever drawn Amy Winehouse or the inside of a 747 cockpit.

Commission: Drew and Emily (D)

Today I just about finished my end-of-year commissions and it turns out there were quite a few of them this year!  I'm really grateful anytime anyone entrusts such a special gift (and certain amount of expenditure) to my hands, and I always love to hear back that the recipients are pleased.  Here's one I did for Drew and Emily to commemorate their engagement at Walt Disney World (something J and I can certainly relate to!).

I'll post more commission in 2018.  Happy New Year!

Commission: Lindsey / Ellie & Mac (D)

This is a commission I did for Lindsey, the brain and hands and beating heart of Ellie & Mac, thanks to whom I've been blessed with a long string of work over the last few months. Like I posted over the weekend, I've had some commission drama lately, but Lindsey has always been a model client, and nothing says personalized like a one-of-a-kind profile picture portrait.

Here are some of the lineart pieces I've done for her designs:

It's been fun and different to jump into the world of online sewing/patterning/fashion!

By the way, stay tuned, I'll be announcing something exciting regarding commissions very soon!

Commission: Paul and Carrie (D)

Okay, one more commission via ArtCorgi just so I can be caught up. This was going to be a pretty standard engagement gift but I tried to up my game with some tilt shift and pushing for a more interesting pose and a last-second addition of the skyline's reflection (which should have been obvious, but oh well). He really liked it, I can only assume she does too. XD

Paul and Carrie, October 2017

ArtCorgi Fitness Commissions (D)

One more and I'll be (more or less!) caught up.  I recently updated my offered styles on ArtCorgi to include simpler, dynamic options, such as these, each commissioned by their significant others:

To Rachel, from Michael

To Someone, from Aly

They were quicker and fun and you can always count on dancers and athletes for dynamic poses.

ArtCorgi Couple Commissions (D)

(Wrote this almost a week ago and forgot to publish over the weekend!  Bah.)

I'm a little behind in posting stuff here (you can always find up-to-date posts on Instagram @drewgrahamart and @hinkypunkstation) but then I can post a few at once!  Apparently I'm one of a few go-to ArtCorgi artists clients pick for engagement/anniversary gifts, which is a niche I'm more than happy to fit into.

March 2017, Aaron and Jennifer.  In the photo they sent this looked great as a canvas print!

April 2017, Lee and wife.  It was great to do a different style.

June 2017, Eric and Molly.  Apparently he commissioned a few artists and picked the one he liked best (which wasn't mine but that's okay).

I have a few more, ArtCorgi and otherwise, but these will do for now!

Commissions Aplenty (D)

Aaaaand here are some recent commissions from the last few months to round things out.  All very different projects from different sources.

Anniversary preset from Rachel to Jermiah, two great Survivor friends!

A totally different kind of proposal piece.  Her hair went through two extreme color changes (I left off most of the text because it seemed personal, and also... it's in Spanish). 

Cover art for a single written as the theme to a one-woman show in London (commissioned by a friend of Kimberley from the Great British Baking Show, who saw my drawing of her and contacted me... you just never know).

Dancing BFFs via Instagram.

I have a few more to catch up but I'll leave them for next week.  I love the variety of work I've been commissioned to do lately!

Commission: Hans and Janelle (D)

Fun commission via ArtCorgi:

I updated it after delivery to add body hair and smokey eyes because these things are clearly important.

Trio of Commissions (D)

Three very different commissions!  I'm actually running an end-of-year sale on them but none of these three were really included in that, ha.

Giovanni and Co.  A car!  So outside of my comfort zone, but fun.

Penny Dreadul lineup for superfan Jeff.  I actually know next to nothing about this show so this was fun.

Anniversary gift via ArtCorgi.  A Disneyland proposal?  That I can relate to.

I enjoyed doing all of these!  And I'm glad it's finally past the 20th so I can post that last one, because you just never know.

Commission Announcement! (D)

Hey everyone! In the continuing spirit of Black Friday (and the anticipatory spirit of Cyber Monday) I'm having a big Christmas special on artwork. From now until the end of the year I am offering half price commissions. That's right, order your own commissioned art in any of these styles (or more!) and get 50% off. Just comment with questions.
