I hope things are going well for everyone. Recently, my family and I were going thru "the big photo box," after my Dad passed away; reminiscing and looking at pictures. While looking at old pics I came across a few photos of a project I helped put together around the year 2000. It was a fun job and an old school project as well.
While in the Air Force I was stationed near Honolulu, Hawaii. Every year during the holidays the city hosts displays in downtown and a parade. This particular year, some folks from the church we attended, put a nativity scene together and asked if I would help out by doing some artwork for the display.

The project was a lot of fun. Very much a cartoon style display, but the as you can tell, the characters weren't exaggerated either. Almost like coloring book style artwork. As you can see by the top photo - outline first, then fill in with color, then finishing with airbrushed highlights and shadows.

At the time I still had my hand in doing airbrushed artwork on a regular basis. Years prior to this, most of the illustrating I did was created using traditional media; including airbrush.

Unfortunately, I didn't come across any photos of the completed project. When painted, the panels were constructed into a little stable with nativity scene. It all came together quite nicely and was a beautiful display. It was a fun project to help out with. I hope you enjoyed it.
Have a great day.
Peace,
Tom
