Greetings, and welcome to Larry West Productions, home of the portfolio of independent Illustrator / Graphic Designer Larry West. I have developed a style that is uniquely my own that can very well help out anyone in need of art. I went to Hussian School of Art where I majored in Illustration, and I specialize in web design as well as merchandising.

Well, the art show went great and I am proud to say that the first solo show or art for myself was a massive success! I am now Digital Ferret's top selling artist for an art show, which makes me feel great! My secret? Knowing my audience! Thanks to everyone who came out, and to everyone who bought one of my pieces! You've made this all worthwile!
5/18/2009 - New art and the art show almost here!
I have a new piece up called "The Fly" and this one is going to be a bit more fun. I have a fairly-decent sized image on the site. Feel free to use to play pranks. But please don't: Put it on stickers and put it around places! Thanks!
Also, remember, my art show is May 22nd at Digital Ferret!
4/30/2009 - Helping out the Swine Flu Effort!
It's safe to say that, while this event seems to be overblown, there is reason for people to get involved, if only to help others understand what's going on out there. To that effect, I've created a flier with facts to help everyone out there. Also, 50% of all the profits from products with this image from now until May 22nd will be donated to the Red Cross.
We are currently seeing this become close to being a Level 6 Pandemic by the World Health Organization. While I think we are all over-reacting right now, I wanted to do something to try and help educate people about this, as well as help a chairty along the way.

The final details are here and my new and first art show will be May 22nd, 2009 from 7PM - 10PM at Digital Ferret Records! Make sure you mark your calendars! The event is FREE and should be a lot of fun! There's going to be food and live music.
3/23/2009 - The End is Near!
There have been reports about me holding up signs and creating a robot holding a sign that says "The End Is Near!" So far, no one knows why I'm doing it. The answer isn't really hard; its right in front of your eyes.
Check out the photos here and Philebrity's reports about it here.

1/13/2009 - PEPSI CAN LOGO RESIGN
I guess you could say I got borded. I've been going on peridoic rants about "Web 2.0" graphic design and how much I hate it and consider it the bane of good modern graphic design... but I decided to do something about it! Using old principals of design and my own style, I have the POP soda a style more them.
11/09/2008 - SKULL BIKER
So I've done a bit this week! I've uploaded a LOT of new images to the illustration portfolio. Just take a little look around the illusration page. Not only that, but I've finished a new piece called "Skull Biker". Be sure to check it out on Deviant Art.
11/02/2008 - THE CHOSEN!
I did this piece after listening to "The Chosen" by Unearth.The song is on the Aqua Teen Hunger Froce soundtrack and I think it's the best song they've EVER written. Period. I haven't been a big fan of these guys, so that song just blew me away. Anyway, this piece is of a fierce Demoness in front of a shield. Check it out at Deviant Art!
10/30/2008 - PHILLIES WIN!
There really isn't anything to post today other than the fact that I'm incrediby thrilled that the Philadelphia Phillies won the World Series last night! WHOO-HOO! The parade is tomorrow and I can't wait! Check out my photos on Flickr of the celebration from after the Phillies won.
10/29/2008 - Another Awesome New Interview!
Actually, this interview is old by a month. It's my own fault for not posting it sooner, but with work and getting the site re-launched, I hope you can forgive me for not posting it sooner. SheVibe Magazine did an interview with me after seeing some of my pieces and I'm pretty glad to get the attention! Check out the awesome interview, "The Larry West Interview".
10/28/2008 - NEW PIECE:
So I've got a new piece up that I'm thrilled to announce!

10/27/2008- RELAUNCH:
So I'm re-launching the site, and this is basically 5.0 BETA. I've been toying around with this for months and months and months... and months. OK, just 2 months, really. But I had a friend help me with a lot of it and save a few hiccups, this site is just about ready. If you here before the announcement I'm going to make when it's 100%, then WELCOME!
Before I go any further, I just wanted to say I'm really am happy about this. Welcome, my friends, to Larry West Productions Version 5.0! Yes, this is the 5th re-launch I've done since establishing my domain long ago. Originally on the free server site http://www.dazzled.com, I later went on to... well, this. There's been a bunch of revisions in the past, but here it is, the latest one! I'm working on getting a CMS service that would allow me to do a lot of really, really cool things. I won't say which one yet, but it should be cool.
