Here's mine.

It's a pure vector homage to the artist Rodger Dean. Way back in the 70s he helped light a creative spark that is still with me today.

Slightly enlarged for easier viewing


Here's mine. I just needs some tweaking... I think.
Anybody who knows me knows I love mountain biking. This is a modified picture of my bikepath in the fall.
I thought it also made a nice "path to recovery" theme.

I'm really excited to be part of this project. I'm always on this forum and really enjoy the challenges. I had a week in July, so I decided to create a page that features one of my favorite places, St. Augustine, FL. This is a downtown street in the middle of March, but I airbrushed the sky for a nicer view. The city is the oldest in the USA and has a big fort on the coast that the Spanish would shoot canons from. Its very pirate-y, arg! The buildings are all repurposed homes and they've created a cool downtown area with them.

I've changed my calendar page. Mr Kool has been kind enough to update the image in both showcases to the new version. I wasn't happy with the original being such an "in joke" for the GDF when the calendar is being sold to the general public, so I opted for an illustration I did based on the bass and treble clef. It was nice to not be in front of the computer screen for a while last night doing it too

Heres My Offering to the Calendar. Week 27. Went for a nice spring summer feel/glow. The Photographer of the original image has given his permission for inclusion into the Calendar so everything is cool there.

Hope you like. Submited hi res tiff already.

Okay, Here is the June, I am just saving the November (If it's still cool that I do two.) How did you guys settle on final artwork (file type, transfer protocol) I had fun, It's nice to go outside of your regular styles.

Here is my second week. It's a collaborative piece I did with an artist friend of mine (hence the second email address). He did the original painting, I just messed around with it.

I've been putting together a portfolio for my college for the last month.. thats why i've been off the forum, and why this is down to the wire. This is a picture i took on south street, philadelphia. I actually used another picture similar to this in my portfolio.

hi guys. looking at the calendar i found that mother's day is may 11th in 08, im not sure if we should put that on the calendar, because maybe some countries do not celebrate mother's day or atleast not on the same day, can anyone from uk or buda confirm this? just thought about that now. so i tried to do a child's drawing to represent mother's day... and made sure my color theory was out of wack and i wrote with my left hand (im right handed) to help make my handwriting very elementary.


http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n315/smbcmv/misc/gfdcalendarproof.jpg

well, here's mine. I've gone crosseyed looking at it. If anybody sees anything glaringly wrong with it, please let me know:

and the large version: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=505392456&size=o

Ok, finally, I am ready to post my final page...I know its not one of the 4 images that I posted in the poll, I was worried about copyright issues with the "summertime" song version and there was one image in the collage which I could not get an OK on, so I started over (again!) This time I used my own prose (i wrote it about 7 yrs ago after putting my son to bed and standing at his crib for about 20 minutes, being amazed at his existence and then hung it on my bulletin board)

After much painting and nearly 100 digital layers....walla! Any comments? critiques? It's been forever since I painted anything, and this is the first time merged with digital. I also took the photo along the Mississippi River. Much photo manipulation (colors and intensity) and lots of tweaking on the painting to not show as much texture and still keep the detail. oy. I also wrote the small prose - poetry is not a strong point of mine in any terms so I hope it reads ok.

This is dedicated to all those who have survived the darkness and found wings to soar again.
