Ford Louisville Line Morton Salt Short Hauler for AMT/Round2 Corporation
Another completed project for AMT/Round 2. A Ford Louisville Line Short Hauler. I produced a digital image first using Adobe Illustrator as a guide for my rendering. The client supplied a photo of a built up model for reference.
2023 Year in Review
I averaged one piece a month for 2023, including 3 more box tops for AMT/Round2 Corporation's line of plastic models. Not bad for a side gig.
A Painter Passing Through
I am a lifelong admirer of the music of Gordon Lightfoot. After his passing on May 1, 2023 I wanted to create a tribute piece to him. This image is inspired by Gordon Lightfoot's 1974 album cover "Sundown". I titled it “A Painter Passing Through” as homage to his 18th album from 1998. As a nod to his memory I wanted to portray him as a travelling troubadour, incorporating some imagery that is covered in his songs, the railway tracks, the landscape and trees, the sun descending in the western sky. I think that I have achieved an impression of a timeless traveler who has left his mark on the world with this depiction.

WIP Update Gordon Lightfoot Colour Version
An update on the colour version. This image is inspired by his 1974 album cover Sundown. I will title it “A Painter Passing Through” as homage to his 18th album from 1998. As a nod to his memory I want to portray some imagery that is covered in his songs, the railway tracks, the landscape that will be portrayed as a background, and an overall sense of a timeless traveler who has left his mark on the world.
