Santa Clause, "Elf"

Santa Clause - Elf

Portrait, 8.5 x 11in.

Lead and White Conte Crayon on Paper

When I did the more modern, now traditional Santa Clause I also thought it was important to pay tribute to where the imagery had originally come from and show Santa with his Elf ears, enjoying a bottle of soda he may be.  He is a "jolly old elf" according to the poem, and while I understand why everyone doesn't like Santa looking like Spock to one extent or another I respect the look - and thought it should be available to other like minded individuals - so if you do or you don't like 'em we've got your bases covered now.

Animal Portrait - Gir Dog, "Nightvision"

Gir Dog, "Nightvision"

Portrait, 8 1/2 x 11 in

Lead on Paper

This happens to be a great example of two different types of portraiture, photo reproduction and animal portraiture.  This is my assistant Roman's dog, Gir.  He's a Brussels Griffin, the type of dog that wookies, ewoks and mogwai are based on, and has to be the cutest thing on three legs - that's right he's missing a paw, the poor guy!  I will make sure to post the original picture as well so you can compare the two, but in the meantime if you need a copy of this one we might be able to help you get the cuddly little thing settled into a new home, he does love laps after all.
