Winter Village - Commission

Back in December I was commissioned to create a winter village scene. I really didn't want to make it look too Christmas-y so I made sure to leave out any holiday lights/decorations.

Holiday Gifts Ideas For String Players - Strings Magazine

It's always exciting getting to do decorative seasonal work. It helps me get in a state of excitement for the snow before I realize how painfully cold winter can be. This illustration was completed for Strings Magazine holiday issue. My assignment was basically to incorporate stringed instruments into the holidays. I actually had a lot of fun doing this because I got to make some cool custom patterns. If you look closely the snowflakes are made up of stringed instruments, bass, alto, and treble clefs.

Thank you Emily for considering me for this wonderful project! 

Here is a shot of the magazine itself along with some pieces of the article:

Here are a few of the options that could have been: 

The New Coming of Winter

This is a piece I finished about a month and a half ago for a group project that is soon to be unveiled. I decided to go digital for this I am pleased with the outcome. The inspiration for the image came from this book I own called 'The Old House Book'. I was just flipping through the pages and I saw this shot of a red cabin in the winter. The rest is history.
