Not too long ago, Nicole over at The Girl Next Door ordered up some custom blog artwork from E.Webscapes. Well since I’m the resident artist for ’em, I got to work on sketching out her request! She chose a book cover that she really loved and wanted me to do something like it.
After a long while of you thinking I was over here twiddling my thumbs every day and not being creative at all, I finished her artwork and turned it over to Lisa (EW Bosswoman) and she whipped up this sweet three-column design to match! See? Even when it doesn’t look like I’m painting, I really am! (I just wait for the design to go live before I show ya!)
So do me a favor, click, and go visit Nicole and let her know how you like her new digs! She’s excited, I’m excited, it’s all good!
If you’d like to see my other design (I’m new to EW, so I’ve just got two under my belt so far), click on the “E.Webscapes” category and you’ll see the screen shot to my last one. And if you want one? You gotta order it through EW, she’s the boss’a me on these!

Wow — that’s amazing. Love how you encorporated her family pictures into the main header.
I echo what Jo said…great job and excellent idea to make it really personal (loved ones)!!
Thanks Jo & Sandra! The little white dog is her dog, too. I even hung one of my own paintings on her wall! It was a fun illustration to work on!
Do you draw that by hand? And then put it in the computer to add photos? What program do you use?
Yes, I’m curious.
It’s really nice!
Annie, yes! I draw it by hand, modify it by hand, then scan it and work the details, clean it up and paint it using my wacom tablet all in PSP9. I think this piece took between 20-30 hours to complete. As small as it is on screen, I draw them larger (9×12) so I have a larger canvas on screen than what the final graphic ends up being. 😀
