Community Creative Center A Time For Art (from 2015 better late than never?)

So in 2015 I created the illustrations and graphic design for a large project for the Community Creative Center’s “A Time For Art” summer art camp. It was a very fun project where it was themed around art from around the world and thought time. We went with a travel sticker theme and the images below are the result. This was one of my all time favorite projects to work on. It was a very graphic style with very fresh colors.

Community Creative Center: All So Far

The Community Creative Center is a really great place over in Fayetteville, AR where people can learn all kinds of art media from local, professional artists! “CCC is a real asset for the community and I am glad to have them and to design for them” – JD

Holiday Bazaar, Holiday Market and Gift Certificates, here is everything we have created for them so far:

Here you can see the 10’x10′ Mesh Banner designed by JD Ray with illustration by Aimee Ray

First off, Fayetteville AR and the surrounding area is fortunate to have the Community Creative Center. It is a great place for children and adults to experience art in a creative studio environment. I, for one, never had access to a place like this where I grew up and many people don’t. So if you live in the Fayetteville AR area you need to yourself over there and enroll in some classes or at the very least, say hey and buy some art!

Anyway, I had the privilege to design the banner, signage and other items for their 7th Annual Holiday Bazaar which features art for sale by local artists. If you are in the North West Arkansas area Dec 6 stop in and support our area artists and get some gifts with a little more meaning this year!

 

Check out all the nice items we designed:

It has been such a great experience working for the CCC on this project. Thanks to Barb and Joy!

Digital Painting!

We have been doing comic book coloring in various forms since 1993. It has been fun and cool to have worked at this for so long. Though this is published also as a page, I thought that it would be great as a post! (also because this theme is more friendly to Posts!

We will be updating the gallery from time to time but for now, here are pics already featured on the existing comic coloring! page:

Stingray Grafik is On The Air!

This is the future site of a great new Stingray Grafik Wurks site. The comic book art studio of JDRay, who has been a comic book creator since 1993, and also that of Aimee Ray who helps me immensely! You may have seen our work in Sonic the Hedgehog titles over the years. Also if you are into etsy, or embroidery, you have seen Aimee’s books and art works! I also did some work in Marvel’s “What If?” one-shot series from 2011.

We are currently working on coloring for a book from Kingstone Productions and our own Grafik Novel™ Keep an eye or two on this website for more as I work on blogging and creating this website!
