Just thought I'd post this up. It's a graphic I designed as a gift for a talented girl that loves to draw. I've been mentoring her in art for the last couple of years. She has a serious brain injury, and on the weekend I went to visit her, and help her with her drawing skills. I met her and her great family through a charity event I did through my work.

I drew and designed the graphic last week and gave her a giant printed poster of it. Being a teenaged girl, she's a hug fan of Twilight, so that's why there's a vampire theme. It was nice to see she was totally stoked on it

That graphic is amazing bro! And such a kind thing your doing keep it up man! Also my wife loves twilight too, she got me into the movies, the acting is awesome. Anyways, I wish her well and thanks for sharing the graphic and the awesome story!
Great work!

Make sure she stays strong no matter what.

The book was recommended to me by my girlfriend before it became a hit, and I have to say it wasn't my type of thing. He's a vampire right? But he doesn't drink blood, sleep in a coffin or die when he steps in the sun. What can he do? Run very fast. Basically, he's not a vampire, he's The Flash :ugeek:

But a sick graphic all the same man :arrow:

Thanks guys.

She's a big anime fan, so that's why she always does the Japanese "peace" fingers.

That's really cool. What medium did you use to create this? Adobe Illustrator? You did a great job!

Thanks Genji. I hand drew the figure, then did the rest in Photoshop. I usually like to draw things from scratch. I can use Illustrator too tho. It wasn't really meant to be printed onto a deck, but I did it high res enough in Photoshop that it could.

I used to freelance graphic design, now I'm an art director for a software co.

Send it in to Jeremy or Witter, I think it would be a very good graphic.
