Sun Bears are coming!!!

April 21st, 2012 | Posted by Don Veitch in Illustration - (Comments Off)

Here is a piece I did for the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk. A Pen and Ink with watercolor sign highlighting the exhibit changes expected this year.  The client was very thoughtful and sent the finished product without a request from me. It’s always a pleasure working with people who appreciate the efforts of others.

Mass Guard website places second in NGB media awards

April 12th, 2012 | Posted by Don Veitch in Military - (Comments Off)

Shortly after my deployment to Iraq I was asked to develop the website for the Massachusetts National Guard. For the last four years I have managed and maintained the site. Posting well over 450 separate stories and videos. This year our organization submitted the site for consideration in the National Guard Bureau Media Awards. Our site came in second only behind a state that had their site outsourced to a development company. Not too shabby for an all guard designed and managed website. I would be remiss in not thanking the folks at NGB and GKO for our hosting and technical support.

Here is the new poster I created as part of the Massachusetts National Guard’s Suicide awareness campaign. The hands were shot in the DA photo studio on a green screen and a background was placed in after.

Here is the original photo.

Bruins Win!!!

To commemorate the 2011 Stanley Cup Winning Boston Bruins, I created this little graphic to express my relief after waiting nearly 40 years to see the cup return to Boston. As many of my family and friends know, I live and breathe Bruin’s Hockey. This championship represents one of my personal greatsports moments.

Congratulations Boston! You’re at the top of the Hockey world once again!!!!

“Yankee” Brigade T-shirt

January 7th, 2011 | Posted by Don Veitch in Illustration | Military - (Comments Off)

Some time ago I worked as a screen print artist for a local company. I’ve since moved on to a different job but it’s always nice to rely on past experiences to get new tasks done. Here is the T-shirt design for the 26th “Yankee” Brigade, Massachusetts National Guard. I was asked to come up with final art by the brigade commander based on a comp he came up with. The software I used for this was illustrator and photoshop.
