Decided to use one of my redwood tree drawings for the holiday card. Did a few variations as usual and had a hard time making up my mind which I preferred.
Deconstructed.
Just found old biz cards I made with an old Epson color printer ( the best btw ) and then plastic laminated them at Kinkos ( remember them? ) photoshop collage of my drawings, paintings and Dover 😉 – heavy duty laminate. Hand cut.
Found some of the original artwork that I used for them which is below.
Just a few snaps of a mural, trompe l’oeil painting I made years ago for a decorator working on the interior of a hotel in Kirkland, WA. This one one of the penthouse suites that had 2 hidden closets behind my paintings.
This is an old painting project. I’m trying to remember the year but am having a hard time. 😉 . . . I painted the walls and umbrella vaulted ceiling in the round room. – It was a showcase house in Los Altos Hills, CA.
Old project in my old studio out on Yosemite street in the San Francisco Bay View area. – I bought up a ton of oval wooden boxes and painted the outside. (and inside) – Here they are, on my table in the studio. ~>

A few other studio shots. I was working on an acrylic painting, on canvas.
The shot below was taken on an open studio day. Not sure what year.
Painted these a long time ago. Acrylic on foam core. – then contour cut. . . . they were hung in “Where the Wild Things Are” at the Sony Metreon event area during a halloween haunted house for kids.
When I had a painting and design business years ago I would draw designs out on velum or thin tracing paper and then transfer the image on to a canvas or wall – whatever surface it was painted on. I sometimes used transfer paper or rubbed graphite on the back of the drawing and then re-traced the image.
This is what other panels of the paintings looked liked in progress. The color images were scanned from older color prints. Pre-digital cameras.
