			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Starting in February 2011, I asked my readers on en•blog what they&#8217;d like to see more of. The answer was pigs, and so I started making pig illustrations.</p>
<p>I really wanted to make a watercolor illustration for this piece, and the idea of a pig on a wagon just seemed to pop into my head. To create this illustration I used two reference photos and drew them together, making small adjustments for lighting and proportion. I also changed the name of the red wagon to avoid copyright conflict, but I&#8217;m actually happier with the alteration than I would have been with the original brand name remaining. Overall I&#8217;m pretty happy with the end result!</p>

<p>This year&#8217;s holiday card was meant to focus more on the customer service aspect of OPPC&#8217;s business. The outside of the card shows the cold and stuck delivery driver asking a boy for a helping hand to get the delivery finished. Opening up the card, you can see the driver holding on while he and the boy ride the snow sled down a steep hill toward the driver&#8217;s destination.</p>

<p>For 2009 OnePoint asked me to create an illustration with a Norman Rockwell feel.  After a couple of setbacks, this is what I ended up with! The result is something I&#8217;m very proud of, and I&#8217;m looking forward to taking on more challenging projects like this in the future!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watercolor • Copyright © 2004 Ian Castruita</p>
<p>This was a student piece for the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.  It&#8217;s a page layout, so that white box is supposed to be where the text of the story would go.  Although it looks fairly finished, this was only a color study in the class; the teacher had forgotten to assign an actual finished page!  So, I never put together a finished page, but I enjoyed working with watercolor so much that I&#8217;d probably be tempted to create the finished versions some day when I have time (or financing!).</p>
