3 birthday cards!

My mom is going to Brazil tomorrow and wanted me to make 3 birthday cards for members of the family.
Below are the cards I came up with:

The first one is for my Grandma Raquel. She is turning 80!
Just wanted to draw her at her birthday party having a good time!



The second one is for my Grandpa Zalka
He loves to draw



The third is for my cousin Silvia
She is going to school to learn how to make movies.



All cards were done in ink and colored pencils.

ps. "Feliz Aniversario" means Happy Birthday in portuguese

Mother's Day Cards 2008

Mothers day cards for my mom and mom in law

Erik's Bday Card 2008

The long awaited birthday card I promised Erik a couple years ago...
I hope he likes it just as much as I liked making it!
Using Prismacolor pencils this time. I think I still prefer the colored pencils.
I also added a bit of white acrylic for some highlights on the water.

I went a different route this time when coming up with a concept for the card.
Wanted more simplicity.
No characters this time, just graphic flowers and shapes.

Finally!!! I am back on the drawing wagon!
My first birthday card of 2008.
Alison loves to ride her horse and that was the inspiration for this card.
Happy 28th Birthday Alison!

PG - "Party Girl"

I was not able to scan the finished colored card, so I went ahead and took a picture of it.
I think it came out pretty good.
