This is what I did about a month ago, a spot illustration of the "new" Bruce Springsteen, for The Weekly Standard. At first it was going to have a background and print a little larger. Then half way through painting it that way, it was moved to a different section of the magazine, and a background was no longer needed. No big deal, part of the job, it's a weekly magazine, things are bound to change last minute. I really love working with these guys and I hope to continue on with them, I enjoy illustrating current issues, it's more interesting and fun for me then painting random celebs! All in all, two days worth on my part, about 14 to 16 hours of work.]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 06:43:27 +0000 http://jason-seiler.cgsociety.org/gallery/566033

Here's another piece I did for The Bloomberg Market. Nothing much to say about this one... I mostly just wanted to add it to my CGPortfolio. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Here's a sample of my traditional work. Thom Yorke was painted with acrylic on masonite.
It was a part of the 49th Annual Exhibition Society of Illustrators show.

The sketch was done with a .3mm mechanical pencil and the final was painted with acrylic on masonite.

Anyhow, on to some recent work...I can finally post the work I did for Guitar Player magazine.



This was a killer to do because I only had a week and two days to do a two page spread as well as a cover. They needed the inside Zappa spread first, and it took much longer to do than I had thought it would, leaving me only four days to complete the cover. It was nuts, had to pull an all nighter, drank many Monster energy drinks, and the rest is history! I'm really happy with how Zappa's guitar turned out, even though it was a lot of work. Zappa has a distinct SG, very unique and personalized, so when painting his guitar I knew I wasn't going to get away with just painting any old SG, it had to be his . . . with all the nicks and scratches, the whole SHA-BANG!

This issue is currently on the stands and prints are available. Please contact me through my website: http://www.jasonseiler.com]]> Fri, 12 Oct 2007 04:34:36 +0000 http://jason-seiler.cgsociety.org/gallery/547831

The Donald. Who could resist doing a caricature of Donald Trump at least one time in their life? Not me!! This guy was a lot of fun to paint. His hair is just so insane. I love his big chair too. Really adds to his character so I thought I'd throw that in as well.

Here's a quick painting I did of Ariel Sharon and George W Bush.
This was a promotional piece done to attract some more political illustrations. Sometimes the best way to get the jobs you want is to just do it for fun. Someone will always take notice if it's well done.

Hope you like it!

Hi everyone,
So here goes my very first post. I've been a long time lurker... recently decided to join up!

My name is Jason Seiler. I'm a caricaturist and humorist illustrator.

I did this a few weeks ago . . . it's out in stores, so I've got the OK to finally post what I did. This was done for GOLF magazine, an article on how intimidating it is for other golfer's to be paired up with Woods. As soon as I heard what the article was about, this image of looking up at Tiger from the ball's point of view popped into my head.

I only had one week from start to finish on this piece, so there wasn't much time to mess around. The first thing I do on a job like this, is sketch a bunch of small thumbnails, just scribbles really. The next step was photo reference, so I posed some of my friends, took pictures, and then began sketching. Once I had the OK, I painted the final with photoshop, it was a lot of fun working on this piece I look forward to working with them again!]]> Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:04:54 +0000
