When the subject of a news story does not show for their photoshoot (despite a trying, arduous process to book his "time") Ghostbuster Joe (me) is called in to air out the feculence left behind. So there you go. I drew a possibly homeless former potato farmer holding potatoes. The story ain't much different. BUT LOOK! There are a few ideas not used posted below. Thank you. BTW, Staedtler pencils and micron pens are the both similar day savers.

NEW...Fast Illustration How Down.

MORE ARLENE ACKERMAN ILLUSTRATIONS!!!???? Not eager to depict this woman or her crew more, but here's yet another. The only exciting part being that this one is of her going AWAY!

Here we go! I recently art directed a photo shoot, the did this little adjustment to shadows, for a few very funny "magicians". Altering the shadows was a simple adjustment, but quite a bit of fun to accomplish.


During the initial "mind/idea farm" status of planning the shoot, I wanted to have the "magicians" in varying sizes, vexing each other with a home-made mini stage prop in the middle of a street...? Its true...oh well for that.

To realize the shadow change I made the deformed apparition with markers, as if their hands were creating the letters (despite what their hands were actually doing...magicians...get it!?).


Here are the initial "sketch" to sell everyone on the idea, and a photo from the "shadow reference shoot".
