Illustration Friday - Opposites

Originally done for PTO Magazine about 3 years ago. They simply wanted to kids hands doing the thumbs up thumbs down thing. I was just starting to have some fun using Painter with this. They wanted to make sure it looked more hand done than digital.

Illustration Friday - Sacrifice

This is a piece I did for the cover of Tabletalk (a spiritual magazine). They wanted the viewpoint of Christ's eyes from the cross the moment just before he died. I liked the way the atmosphere and sadness of the moment is portrayed. I hope you do too. Created using Photoshop, Poser, and Painter. Prints up to 16x20 are available on www.art.com and direct from me on my website. www.jaymontgomery.com

Illustration Friday - Skyline

For the 2007 Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta, GA. This is the main image for all the materials used at this annual dentist convention. They only wanted to show certain buildings in the Atlanta skyline representing a more classic representation of Atlanta. The president wanted to make sure that his 55 T-Bird pride and joy was in the image as well. Constructed using Photoshop CS2 and Painter IX. Comments appreciated.

My Honda Del Sol is for sale

Well folks I hate to see it go but with two kids this wonderful car is just not practical for us any longer. After Cindi having a flat in downtown Atlanta a couple of weeks ago with the kids I could not go pick up the kids and help her out with our second car. She and the kids were on the side of the road for about 4 hours until a HERO unit finally came after several un-kept promises. It was a bad situation and of course hindsight is 20/20. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

We're officially selling our 1995 Honda Del Sol as of today. It's one of those sought after cars and we hope to give her a nice home at the right price. So if you know anyone in the market send them this link.

We are also now officially in the the market for hopefully a 6+ passenger used vehicle. We have been researching for quite some time and considering several cars not limited to Honda Odyssey, Honda Pilot, Mazda MPV, Nissan Quest, or anything else that fits the bill. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.

UPDATE!!! It sold in less than 24 hours for only $150 less than asking price!

Weather It Together

This was for a local Girl Scout group t-shirt. This is a side style to my more realistic and detailed work. It's all done in Illustrator mainly using the brush tool. I wanted to created a simple little weather game/dance that all ages could do that would be appropriate for the them of the Camporee. I appreciate kind remarks, but I would rather have constructive criticism about this style departure and any improvements. You can see more of this style on a alternate portfolio here.
