Holiday Lights


I have been involved with an extensive project this past Fall season that required me to dig up and document all of my old illustration jobs. With 30 years behind me, this was a daunting task and I rediscovered some forgotten art. Several of these had a holiday theme which I completed for various clients. Since it is technically still the holiday season, I thought that I would show a few of them this week. This first one was done for General Electric back in the late 80's and like many of these jobs, I had to leave an area "open" for type. This was the GE holiday lighting catalog cover and when it was printed the designer used the dark blue area in the lower left for type. It was done with oil on canvas, approximate size 18" x 24".
