Etch-a-Sketch Christmas Gift

A good friend of mine commissioned me to do an etching of his parent's home, the Vail's House on Peach Lake, NY to give them as a Christmas gift. I had a little over a week to finish it, as he was expecting to see them the day after Christmas. I finished it that day. Probably around 8-10 hours to complete. He said they enjoyed it, and that I saved Christmas (I added the last part.)

Reddit Secret Santa etch

This year I participated in Reddit's Secret Santa gift exchange. Everyone who signs up is assigned a random redditor to buy/make/gift. Once you find out which user you've been assigned, it's your task to look through their comment and submission history and determine what would be an appropriate gift for your Secret Santee.

Once I learned who I was going to be sending a gift to, I looked through their history and learned through a question and answer session he had conducted that he's a 3rd generation carnival employee, so I figured something carnival themed would be most appropriate. I thought an etch-a-sketch would be a good gift for me to send, so I created this Reddit Alien Carnival. He seemed to enjoy it, here's his post.

Been a while since I posted a new etch. This one isn't my best, but it's finished.

Brooklyn Bridge pocket etch

More NYC pocket etching. Here's the Brooklyn Bridge. This one probably took me about three hours. I may do a postcard run of all my NYC pocket etches, this would be the second of the series. More to come.

The Mountaineer Restaurant

For the past three Summer seasons, I've been working at a restaurant in Lake George, NY called The Mountaineer. The place is owned by an 85 year old man named Bill, who likes to sing Bobby Darin songs on the megaphone to the guests. For the most part, he enjoys it more than they do, and it's probably bad for business, but I think he's a riot, so sometimes I like to create some art for him and his restaurant. This week is Classic Car week in the village, so I made this special for the occasion:

I'm moving away, so as a going away gift I wanted to make him a custom vintage live music poster, advertising his performances at our restaurant/impromptu venue. So here it is. This is for you, Bill.
