Guest Artist #3: Sunflower: Abstract Art

The third in our series of guest artists, this drawing comes to you from Gary's 5-year-old daughter, who we will call Sunflower. She loves to draw, color, and hang up her artwork all around the house. This drawing was created in pencil on plain white paper.

Guest Artist: Wolverine: "Jimmy"

Our second guest artist is Wolverine, Gary's 9-year-old son, who enjoys learning how to draw comic book characters and describes this drawing as "sweet". It is a drawing of Jimmy Neutron.

Guest Artist: Hot Rod: "Horror"

Introducing our first ever guest artist on Gary's Greetings: Hot Rod, Gary's 7-year-old son, who drew this self-described "awesome" monster. Our young artist describes his artwork as a monster who should scare you out of your socks. He hopes that you love it.

Sword Fighters

This is one of my favorite drawings. I drew this when I was 14 years old (pencil on sketchpad paper). I've always enjoyed this style of drawing: no color, simple, pencil and shading. I've learned a few new shading techniques since I drew this, and I like to see how my drawing has progressed. I like to re-draw things I've already drawn, just to see if I can draw them better. Maybe I'll draw this one again.

*Note: this drawing was too large to scan, so the image is a photo of the 24" x 18" drawing.

Hobbes and Susie

Gary modified this popular picture from the cartoon strip Calvin and Hobbes, which originally has the tiger Hobbes curled up with the little boy, Calvin. Gary changed the child to the little girl, Susie, when he drew this picture for me.

Facelift

As you can see, Gary's Greetings is currently in the midst of a facelift, and not all page elements have been added back in yet. Please check back periodically, as the blog will be updated as soon as possible. Thanks!

T-Rex

Gary drew this T-Rex dinosaur for his youngest son, who loves dinosaurs. This T-Rex was created in pencil on plain white paper (and was a hit with the young critics!)
