Happy Birthday Kath

Original image, first one that I had to do any cropping. Took those brutal Leafs jerseys out and the picture got quite a bit better... (sorry Jeff and Todd)

Old man wearing hat

I loved this picture when I first saw it. It is kind of difficult because the shadows and highlights aren't overly contrasty. Its funny looking back at the original image now because it seems like this guy came out pretty grumpy in the stencil, but maybe didn't start out that way. I guess that is what we call artist interpretation... Regardless, he is a pretty crusty looking old guy.

Another photoshop project. This one is pretty detailed, and was especially difficult because my knife was getting dull. I need to get some more blades, but in the end I really like this guy.

two-tone old man

Just used black and grey on this one, it is pretty simple, but I like the way that the highlight and the grey kind of blend...

The finished product. He is looking the other direction than the first two-tone try, but this is because I flipped the stencil over... It smeared a little, but still looks pretty good.
