“Just Waiting On A Friend…”

This was an image commissioned as part of a greetings card collection inspired by nostalgia and images from memory.
Sharon's intention here was to paint the essence of an image without relying on too much detail or precision...the sort of image you might have if you closed your eyes and tried to remember what something looked like...you may only remember a small detail
..in this instance the pattern on the girls shoes...and a Rolling Stones track playing in the background at the time !

Popular Mechanics

Matthew Laznicka was thrilled with his commission from Hearst Publishing’s Popular Mechanics.

Originally commissioned as an editorial illustration, the success of the image meant the magazine decided to use it for the May 2011 cover. Matthew says “It had always been my dream to be on the cover. My father and grandfather were always subscribers and I loved as a child going through the old box my grandad had dating back to the 40's.”
