30 Rockefeller Plaza

So, this illustration has been looming over my shoulder like a vulture for the past 3 and a half months, but I just couldn't find a chance to do it. In fact, it was originally conceived as an Amy Poehler & Tina Fey thing back when Baby Mama came out. Anyhow, three days ago I said, "Adam, you are penciling this tonight, inking it tomorrow, and coloring it the next day." And I'm so happy I did.

Tree Head Update

Still a work in progress. A nice diversion!

Here's a funny little painting I started today... Funny coincidence looking at my last post that I've used nearly the same color palette on this one! I'd completely forgotten and thought I'd try something original.. At this point, it's still very rough, but perhaps in the next few weeks I'll get some time to finish it.! It's good practice, anyhow.

Tree Man

Here's something I did on my break at work today. One can only define corporate standards for so many hours in a day. The original sketch came from our weekly meeting where I try to practice my skills. I'd like to take this a little further...

a day late and a dollar short

I almost forgot: Happy Father's Day. Here's an image I did as a tribute to my father and grandfather and the great tradition of Old Style beer. Cheers.

In Progress

Here's some work I'm doing inspired by my recent visit to a nun graveyard. My favorite headstone belonged to one Scholastica Landcut... Media is acrylic on masonite. My apologies for the tragic glare.

Audrey Redcoat

More fun with watercolors. This is the sister act to "Black Eyed Susan." It quickly turned into a sampler of watercolor technique, I think the only thing I didn't do was throw salt on it! My favorite part is the variegation in the stockings... I think my next watercolor will be less controlled.

I've been watching Twin Peaks like a madman lately, and it couldn't have come at a better time because the women in that show are perfect models for these lusty ladies of vice. While I conceived of this project a week or so before I began watching the show, I can't help but notice the similarities between to two: a throwback to retro-Americana & mystery. And lots and lots of cigarettes. This one was going to have wilder hair, but I reined it back in as a tribute to Audrey Horne of Horne's department stores.

Guess what? I got into the "Big Book of Illustration Ideas 2." Go out and buy it, then turn to page 124, then find my e-mail address (adamosgood@gmail.com) and commission some work! This promo I did of KT Tunstall is the selection piece.

To all the mamas in the house...

Happy Mother's Day! This image was created for my mother, because she likes dogs an awful lot.
