In February I was asked if I would be willing to donate a piece of artwork to ‘Make A Wish’ as one of the prizes that they will be raffling off at their yearly fundraiser on Long Island. The theme for this years fundraising event is Bouquet of Dreams, so I decided to create something [...]

So, while I’ve been showing work through the Townhouse Gallery, I’m also creating some permanent murals at the second gallery location for the curator. It is pretty cool to have my work part of the permanent display alongside many other artists, some of whom I’ve recently had the pleasure to meet and show work with. [...]

Just finished up the design of a new logo for Pwnage Paintball in Long Island City, NY. This is the shaded variation I did, I believe they’ll be having the image converted into vector to clean it up and make it easier to print, but this is the design they’ll be working with. I’m happy [...]

Here’s a holiday commission that was actually a pretty neat concept from the client. Basically, the client’s gf and he are both working a lot lately, and as such have somewhat hectic schedules.

The client for this one requested a custom gift box for a friend’s magic the gathering cards.

Since a direct reproduction [...]
Awesome image from in progress of mural (photo)
Posted: November 27, 2011 in Commissioned Artwork, News, Photos of JGroeling, Promo, Zombie MuralThis image was sent to me recently from a photographer who I met while I was working on the NYCPB mural. Cool guy, very nice, great image. By far one of my favorite images of me working on a project so far…. possibly because it’s my more photogenic side, but more likely because it’s a [...]
The only thing still to add is the lettering, if I’m adding it. Will be adding my website to the wall tomorrow morning and seal coating it. So without further ado, here are the images of what my past three-four weeks have consisted of while working on the walls at http://www.newyorkcitypaintball.com/ (I can personally recommend [...]

First, we’ve got the above shot up there of the endpiece character on the paintball half of the outside mural I’ve been working on. This was an [...]
