Description This image was created as a derivative of another traditional media pen and ink drawing I created back around 1980-1981. You can view the original drawing with some digital matte added here in this gallery under the title 'Turkey for Thanksgiving or Thanksgiving for Turkeys'Back then while in college I was involved in volunteer work with the school newspaper as the layout editor.Decided for the November issue publication near Thanksgiving to create this humor type of holiday cartoon.Hope you find this image funny and not in bad taste.Image created with Art Rage 4 with the help of a photo of the original pen and ink drawing that was scanned onto a computer and used as the bottom layer in Art Rage while colorization and letter with background editing were added.
Stephen Lo Piano, Rochester, New York Member Since October 2008 Artist Statement I have been interested in art since high school back in the late 1960's when I took up career training for commercial art. Continued learning traditional media artwork through a private school by mail correspondence for Advertising and Illustration Art. During the mid and late 1970's decided to abandoned my interest in finding a career in art since nothing was leading to anything that would create substantial income to make a living. Continued education in the military and after service pursued a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. During this time my sights were still set on continuing art on available time and spent many hours working in volunteer activities while attending junior college along with an art gallery in the local community. Started free lancing again in the 1980's while employed full time in another occupation and sold a few things yet still nothing for a permanent career. In the year 2004 after ten years of no productivity in art I stumbled across graphic arts and started to learn this type of technology. Since then I have found a sincere interest in learning and pursuing through trial and error and practice on my own time. Here in this gallery you will see a sample of my results.
