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!

8-Year Smolder (D)

8 years ago and still smoldering.

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.

Seven years... (D)

... and not the slightest itch.

Chelsea and Jared (D)

One of my coworkers is getting married next week, and my manager asked me to draw up a Happy Wedding card on behalf of the team to post on the G+ group.  I have no idea what her styling or colors actually are, so I just tried to guess what I thought went with what I know of their style.  It will be fun to see how close (or not) I guessed.  I like doing little side projects like this, it breaks things up a little to do something for work other than the usual.

May their union be forever blessed.

Fourth (D)

Yesterday we celebrated our fourth anniversary!  It was a very busy and exciting year with lots of traveling, family activities and of course welcoming a new addition to our own home.  For this (sort of) surprise for J, I went back to a drawing that's almost as old as our marriage.  I originally sketched this in early 2009 as a memento of a most splendid and EXTREMELY highly anticipated reunion (I can't exactly recommend doing almost a year of long-distance relationshipping, but it does have its perks, one of which is several epic airport reunions).  This was one of our last reunions before we were finally dwelling in the same time zone, and just a few days after this world-stopping moment we were officially (secretly) engaged.

I've been meaning to paint this for a while, but I decided to save it for a special occasion, and here was one, so here it is.

Happy anniversary, Wife!  You're my favorite and my best.

Three Years Ago (D)

Today is our third anniversary.  Go us!  I wasn't planning on doing this until this morning or so, and therefore it is a complete surprise to J.  Happy anniversary, Wife!  This piece was rather a challenge, since it's very difficult to capture how radiant you were that day three short years ago, but I did my very best and had to call it done at some point.  I hope you like it!  (You meaning Wife, but also everyone else, ha ha.)  She looked so incredible, my jaw literally dropped when she walked out in her wedding dress.  I experimented with a couple of textures on this one, which I think added a nice effect.

I'm ever so lucky to have you!  You're as beautiful as the day we were wed, if not more so.
