Andy Tallman – Hope Rise

Posted on by Joe Cavazos

Finished wrapping up this artwork for Andy Tallman's album, Hope Rise, a couple months back.  I can't say it enough, I love it when I have the oppourtinity to work with other artist.  

The most exciting part about the record is that it will be used to fund the building of a hospital in Central America. Next year they will be going down to Guatemala to partner with the group who run a nutrition hospital. The are looking to expand their operation by building a second hospital to allow more children to get care. 

Be sure to check out the album avaialable on iTunes.

I had the opportunity to work on a illustration for this month's issue of Sundaymag.tv.  The artwork was created for the cover story entitled "Distracting the Creative Process," by Gary Molander.  

This article is a must read for any artist and creatives battling with distractions in life. 

Below is a screen-lapse video of the process of making this piece.

Here’s another personal project I finished up last week. After working on the “Broken For You” piece, I wanted to push the polygon technique further.  

While doing the research for this project I came across stain glass pieces of art depicting the crucifixion of Christ and wanted to bring some of the same feel into this illustration. 

The scripture that came to mind while working on this was John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."  

This is probably the first verse I ever memorized and have heard all my life.  However, now that I'm a father this verse has taken on a deeper meaning and has shown me a glimpse of God's love.  I can't imagine what God went through giving up His only son for the sin of man kind.  This has to be love in it's truest form.

"Broken For You" Process

Posted on by Joe Cavazos

This project started back in early October. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to spend this much time on a piece.  Three months might not be that long to some, but for a guy who’s used to turning several projects on a weekly basis, three months is an eternity.  

In November,  I reached a point where I felt this project was complete.  I believe it was more me trying to shelve it due to already spending a month on it. This is the beauty of personal projects, one can decide when it’s finished.  

The illustration is inspired by the last super of Christ, but more specifically the verse in 1 Corinthians 11:24, where He says "this is my Body which is broken for you."

This technique was heavily inspired by some of the geometric design that I've seen on the intrawebs and dribbble, but most heavily influenced by the work from http://www.dkngstudios.com/ , those guys are killing it.

Below are some screen shots taken throughout the process.

Broken For You


Conquered

This is a new illustration I finished up this week.  Last fall I heard a song by John Mark McMillan entitled, “Death In His Grave.” The first line of bridge, “He(Christ) cheated hell....,” stuck with me and is what inspired this artwork.  I believe one can’t appreciate the light and joy of the resurrection without acknowledging the dark hell and death Christ went through.
