Tis the Season for giftins & commissions!!

Here are a couple favorites from this years Christmas' gift commissions.
Quite a contrast in theme/ style but the feedback from the clients was very similar in that they each loved their piece!
1st was a cutie toon of a boy in NY who really likes T Rex.

Client feedback:

Omg! We LOVE it! Thank you again so very much! Great job, as I knew it would be.  My husband is a pretty tough sell and he thinks it's awesome.  

You rock! Have a great holiday. 

Best,

Val

2nd one was a little off-center for Christmas time, but it definitely fits perfectly with the client & his instructions! Frank is a super fun guy with a seriously warped sense of humor!
He has a line of twisted tee-shirts called "Chalked" that I designed for him per his directives.

Her large forehead was special request-
" O and if you can do me one favor and make her head abnormally big that would be awesome. I always make fun of her dome and she doesn't believe me so if you draw it she'll go nuts, and I win haha! but besides that, the style, and how bad you mess us up is all you. I want it to be a surprise to me to lol."

Client feedback: HAHAHA!! Its Awsome! thanks man! shes gonna dig it! I hope you have a merry Christmas.
Hey Patrick my girlfriend loved the pic. Thanks again man! Merry Christmas

NO MERCY CHRISTMAS GIFT!!

This is a group gift caric I did for a client for Christmas.
I did a live Vegas themed wedding event for him and he LOVES the crazier NO MERCY stuff!
Truth be told this is my FAVORITE of all styles to work in and it's pure joy to work in a style that keeps me laughing while working and this one surely did! PLUS it was also the 1st file I ever worked on with my brand new Cintiq!
Bill has a GREAT sense of humor and is a fan of "TRUE (non-flattering, high ridiculing caricature" and also loves my Zeppelin piece, he's the 1st buyer of my Zep print which I plan to make available on cafepress soon.
(I ALSO HOOKED HIM UP WITH A REALLY COOL ZEPPELIN BAND'S T-SHIRT)

Clients comments:
I got the no mercy email and it is wicked. You got us good (down to the zits on my neck!) I can't wait until Christmas to lay it on my family. They will flip! She'll like ours. I got the party print and Zep yesterday. Very cool. I'll hang Zep in my office.

Your stuff is awesome. Let me know when you post new pieces on your site. If you start selling prints I'm in.

Everyone in my family is so hard to shop for at Christmas - these pics will be a huge hit. Everyone will get a good laugh.

Thanks again for everything. You have a nice Christmas, and an even better New Years! Stay in touch, talk to you soon.
