Dyna Doll Poster and La Fe: Prize Winners!

At long last I've finished the Dyna Wide Glide piece in time for the Colorado Alliance of Illustrators 20th Annual show. and I've affectionately named it "Dyna Doll." The piece took 3rd place out of all of the votes for High 5. My other piece, which was done for a recently released book of poetry, entitled "La Fe': Poetry of a Widow's Spirit," came in 2nd, so I was very happy and pleased with the turnout. Opening night of the show was really incredible and we packed Anam Cara Studio with an estimated 200 people or so. We're really hoping to have as many people for the closing party on June 11th, as well, so If you're reading this, you should definitely come down that night.

Dyna Doll was pretty grueling at the end, there, I lost at least one complete night of sleep and missed my print deadline by 2 days. I even lost feeling in my right thumb from my Wacom pen rubbing the nerves raw at the joint. But, after many revisions, here at long last is the newest Pinc Tacos pin up girl. Here's a couple of versions to check out. One without text and one with all the bells and whistles. You'll notice that the poster version is a little bit lighter. This is due to the fact that the image prints a lot darker and therefore needs to be brought out more in order to sustain its on-screen appearance.



Here's a wraparound picture of the book jacket. The cover image is the one that took 2nd place at the CAI show, without the text on it.
