Here's a lovely theme! Sophie is wishing under the stars. Sophie's image is going to be incorporated into a banner to display at her bat mtizvah.

Here's a great bat mitzvah! Mom provided the logo and I went to town. Lindsay has gorgeous blue eyes and a fabulous bright theme. To bring out the blue of her eyes we created a bright blue outfit and took the various elements of Mom's pre-existing bat mitzvah logo and incorporated them into the background art! Shazam!

Here's something I just love to see. A beautiful photo of one of my bat mitzvah kids fresh from her big day! Look how gorgeous and happy she is!



Here's what Dad had to say:
Hi Liz, Sarah's Bat Mitzvah was wonderful, and the sign-in board looked great.  The board is hanging in her room, and the poster is on the wall at the top of our stairs.  Thanks again! David

How great is this! Just received some final photos compliments of the wonderful Taubman Family as well as Ron Levy Photography!

For more information about using Ron Levy for your own Bar Mitzvah you can contact them below!

Here's another gorgeous idea. My wonderful client Casey and her mom Madelyn sent me this image of her graphic "post party". Instead of the poster, they selected archival paper with archival inks. The image was printed with a large white border which her guests signed. Grandmom loved it too so a second print was sent to her. Mazel tov Casey!



Here's what mom had to say: Hi Liz - I thought you would like to see the finished product of Casey's signing board....just fabulous!!!  It is already hanging on her wall. Everyone at the party LOVED it. So thank you so much for your beautiful work!!! Best Wishes, Madelyn

Here's Chef Ben whipping up the ingredients for a FABULOUS Bar Mitzvah! What a great theme. Ben's parents requested a more formal body image for the temple and the fun theme image for the event. The stylized graphic behind Ben was custom designed to coordinate with his Chef concept. The swirls represent a plate and spoon, essential elements of the trade.

Let's not forget those goodie bags. Once you have your basic party package Liz can even format your art to fit stickers and upload in your shop site. Looks great slapped on those paper goodie bags!

Shazam! Here's the gorgeous Sarah, one half of a set of fabulous twins. (You can see the initial sketch I made in the previous post.) The background created for this image works with the colors and theme of their event.

Here's what mom and dad had to say: Liz- We aren't sure which of the three of us loves the proofs the most but it is unanimous that we are all delighted. Sarah's hair and her smile are spot on - and of course even without seeing the text of your email Sarah noticed her favorite earrings right away!  The swirl background does flow very nicely with her hair (which indeed looks fabulous). We saw Sarah's image posted on your website - and she immediately called her uncle to let him see it (and swear him to secrecy). Everything is great as is and we approve it as presented in the proofs. Thanks-David & Nan

Here's a handsome guy! Ari's bar mitzvah is coming up in February! His event colors are cranberry and black.

Paige wanted to look a bit older with a different dress. Here's the result. What a gorgeous young lady. Scroll down to see the original proof I sent her parents.

Here's what Dad had to say: YOU ARE SOOOOO TALENTED!!!!! IT'S PERFECT.   thank you.

I'm currently working on a handsome young man's image. I'm including this outline of the image (pre coloration) I'm drawing so my readers can see just how detailed the drawings are.

Here's my own son's bar mitzvah video. I embedded a bunch of my own graphics and animations into it. It should give you some ideas of additional ways to use your own graphics in other parts of your event. One thing to notice is the flash animation I put towards the end of the video. This is something new I'm working on and hopefully should be able to offer with your graphic options shortly.

Here are the amazing Gab, Zach and Sam! This was a fun job as I had to try to incorporate their different styles and favorites into their graphics.

Here's what mom had to say: Liz, Thank you for the update, I can't wait to see them!!  The invitations are out and everybody has loved our stamp, thank you, thank you!!! Amazing Job!! It has been a pleasure to work with you too, I'll let you know when everything arrives.

Warm Regards, Jane

Great pic I just got so you can see the actual size of a sign in book next to a standard-sized 9 year old girl. All the interior pages (20) were blank for writing. I just did another one of these and the mom put in a few family photos for people to write around.

--with printed dust ruffle on front



--with the dust ruffle removed. (You can see it behind the book.) The actual hardcover of the book is also printed. Looks great. Quite a keepsake.

I drew myself, as well as the dog, my husband and the rest of the mishpacha for my own son's bar mitzvah on Dec. 5th. It was absolutely amazing. Kept me very busy and kept me from blogging for awhile. We had it on a boat with an "adventure" theme. Good thing too because the weather made it quite the adventure!

Gorgeous and weather resistant fabulous vinyl banners! I just had several of these made for my son's bar mitzvah and loved them so much I have to offer them.
Price includes custom layout of your event artwork. You can find them on the order page.

Since these are out in the mail now, I can show them. Although everyone loved these I spent way too much time creating a pop-up bar mitzvah invitation. However, the printed graphic on the front and interior was absolutely fantastic. I also had some 3' x 6' vinyl banners made which were so amazing I'm going to offer them on my order page.

Here's what mom had to say: Hi liz, just went to your web site, and I can't begin to tell you how excited Shayna was to see her portrait on display.  You may have even heard her squeal with delight, as loud as could be, all the way there in Montclair.  Barbara

Oh, I just love the dots that Jordan picked out for her background. Fun, young and upbeat and pink! What a great bat mitzvah this will be!

Here's a handsome guy whose coming up on his Bar Mitzvah. The below graphic is being used in a 13" x 10" sign-in book. The interior pages will all be blank. Its a hardcover book with a matching graphic dust jacket. This would look amazing displayed with one of our portrait posters in the background. This particular image was created for a great party coordination service called Evention, Inc. They handle events from top to bottom.

I'm having some fun here. This graphic has a lot going on. A full body graphic, an Indiana Jones theme, a New York night sky and the event will be held on a boat. This is a few steps up from the standard portrait package but will blow up unbelievably into a gorgeous print. Unlike most full body illustrations, the same amount of attention as a standard portrait was put into the Bar Mitzvah's face so that it could also be used as a stand alone blow up on its own. The intended use of the graphic is a welcoming sign onto the boat, sign-in art, table tents, place cards as well as being incorporated into the custom invitations. (For the layman reading this please note that the word "proof" has been written across the graphic for protection purposes. This will, of course, be removed when printing.)

One thing to keep in mind is that my artwork is drawn with the intent of blowing up BIG! Massive detail work is put into the graphics which can't be seen on the teeny tiny scale of the computer. Here's a blow up of the bar mitzvah's eye. These illustrations are super detailed and intense to draw!

Here's a handsome guy who's much cooler than I ever was! He snowboards, plays guitar and runs track! We're creating three posters for his Bar Mitzvah referencing these varied interests.

I thought I'd show how changes can be made with the graphics. Mom wanted to make sure our Bat Mitzvah girl's outfit matched on her image. So off with the "corporate" look and on with the strapless black dress! Shazam!

2nd proof with changes--New look!


Initial Proof copy--outfit too "corporate"


Here's what mom had to say:
Dear Liz, Just a quick thank you for your awesome work on all Audrey's projects…from the poster to table cards, your images were a big hit. Hope to work with you again. Best Regards, Janet

What a knockout! Callie was just so much fun to draw. I love, love, loved her hair and had a great time drawing it. She's getting ready for a fabulous Bat Mitzvah.

Because of the wonderful colors Laynie choose for her bat mitzvah, I incorporated a style which would give everyone at every table a different look! Every card is unique because of the placement of the background graphics and text bar coloring. Laynie choose to use the transparent mini envelopes with her cards. Place cards are business card sized. To see other options in envelopes, check out our order page.

What a great event this will be! This was a rush job but I LOVED drawing Justin. What an exciting theme. What fun to draw.

Lots of fun 70s action here. Our bat mitzvah girl loves retro and looks great!

Here's what mom had to say:

Liz - I am so excited with the picture! You truly captured Laynie - what a talent you have! I am just so thrilled that this image on the sign in board will be the first thing our guests will see - it will set the tone for a really fun evening!

And, here's what our model had to say:

Hey Liz,
I love the portrait of me, I think it looks so much like me and you did a great job, Thank you sooo much!

I LOVE IT - you are so talented -- but I have known that for a long time. This is going to be so unique! No one down here has ever seen anything like this.

I think all your choices look great. I like the stripe and the red -

next message:
AWESOME!! it is perfect. I like the red background for the portrait but if it is a hassle to make them with two different backgrounds ( one for sign in one for portrait) stick with what you have.

This is so cool - I just showed it to Andrew and he LOVES it -

Thank you sooooo much.

Need some Mad Money for your party? Look no further than Oliner Graphics! I just had a great conversation with a client who wants to do a Bond theme for her son's Bar Mitzvah. I'm so excited as it was the same theme I used for my own son's three years ago. Here's a sample of some "party cash" as well as the $1,000 party cash I used for my own son's Bar Mitzvah.
(James Bond doesn't mess with mere $20s. He NEEDS big money!) How fun!

You'll be supplied with a digital file with your cash 3 up (Just like at the mint!) and you can print them off or photo copy them on colored paper. Fun & economical. Tie that theme together!

--Sample money with portrait illustration


--Money sample with doctored photo.

Here's a great idea! Ask Liz to take your image and create a welcome sign for your guests. They look great welcoming your guests into the party!

Our wonderful Zack just had his favorite t-shirt replaced by a more formal shirt. And he didn't even have to know! Mom' seems very happy, here's what she had to say:

More perfect than I imagined!  Thank you so much for the extra attention.  Consider this my final approval for Zack's image Pict #22.
 
Can't wait to see finished "Zack's Bar Mitzvah" poster and sign in poster.

Here are two stunning sisters sharing a Bat Mitzvah.

Here's a comment from my client:
Can I just tell you, this bat mitzvah thing is soooo stressful...but every time I open one of your attachments, I get a big smile on my face and I have a warm happy feeling from head to toe. Thank you!

This was a fun one and purchased by a guest of the bat mitzvah girl as a gift. She loves the show "Friends" and we tried to bring a bit of this into her art. Her friends in the background weren't draw but rendered with a filter to create some interesting background art. Elyssa, the bat mitzvah girl, was hand drawn.



Stamp/seal art (also used on mugs)

My artwork is meant to be seen LARGE. Which means on the teeny-tiny format of the computer you are missing some of the POW! of my poster-sized pieces. Here's an example of Elise, a lovely girl with lovely fine soft features which can get a bit washed out on the small screen. I've blown up parts of the image and, as you can see, when they are blown up even this little bit you can see so much more of the details and shading which make the pieces so rich and engaging.

THE BIGGER THE BETTER!!

Here's the stamp art sample!

Here's a great guy. A modest and terrific 2nd degree black belt. So I knew I better not mess up his image! Matt was interested in an action-packed graphic. Here's what his mom had to say,

"Oh my G-d that is so good!!!! Love it,,, so does Matt. I cannot believe you did it already. I will write later, I have to go back and look at the picture again,, love it. Eileen"

This one was more party and polly pocket! More of those eyes and smiles.

Here's a fun one! This image was created to coincide with the theme of the party. This particular image was laid out to place at the header of the video. I'll see if I can figure out how to load video into this thing. Stay tuned.

Wow, doesn't Maddie look fantastic! I'm using a different background technique now. I really like it. (I can't believe how long its been since I've posted! Kids and work have been keeping me busy!) Her mom's comments are below.

Hi Liz!

These are amazing!!! We are all so blown away at your renderings of Maddie and the surrounding artwork. You have really captured her–she looks so grown-up, and beautiful. And the jazz dancer silhouette is perfect. I can't tell you how pleased Maddie is looking at herself. Thank you! 

Your turn around time is amazing! I look forward to hearing back from you, and finalizing everything.

From the client:
Dear Liz,
What can I say.  It is just Beautiful.  Emma LOVES it.  I am SOOOOOO Happy I saw your site before I ordered the sign in book.

I am sure Emma Would like an additional  Poster for her Room .  How does this work if I want to order extras.  Thanks again,  I know that Emma's is one of the early Bat Mitzvahs.  I will recommend you to anyone who is doing one.  Although once some people see your work they will ask ME.

Here’s the wonderful Devorah. I based this image on a photo I took of Devorah when she had just come off the beach.

My artwork is designed to be blown up HUGE! As you can see from the detail here from "sarah's right eye (scroll down to the bottom of the page for sarah's whole image) . Shown in the teenie, tiny scale of the internet really takes some of the power away from them. If I only had to worry about my work appearing on the net I could probably cut down my illustration time to 1/4.

To get that wow factor, I include a FREE portrait poster with the basic package. Its a huge 2' x 3'.

Thanks to my wonderful client Jennie, I have these great photos of Evan's Bar Mitzvah suited up in Oliner Graphic originals. Jennie is the best and all of her friends and relatives should tell her how great she is once they see this site! Thanks for sending me the photos!

From the client:
The T-shirts were a huge hit, particularly the kids thought it was cool to have Evan on the shirts.

I was just emailed this from one of my Bat Mitzvahs. In this case the mom used the poster to highlight where the sign-in books were and to help direct the guests to different locations. We also offer mini-poster prints (actually not so mini 11" x 17"!) for only $8.99 in our shop sites. These are great on doors and outside the building for parking etc. Don't forget the art makes great thank you cards too, all available in your shop. Don't forget this poster art is included in your portrait purchase.

Look at these terrific photos of Devorah with her poster and bat mitzvah t-shirts! She's gorgeous!

Have A Cool Portrait of Your Child on a Store Full of Gifts

Check out Julia Greenberg's (daughter of MitzvahChic author Gail Greenberg) own store on Cafe Press at http://www.cafepress.com/olinergraphics/3336596.     This incredibly fun idea - having a whole store with YOU as the theme - comes courtesy of the artist who did Julia's portrait, Liz Oliner. Once she does a beautiful portrait from a photo of your child, Liz can put it on invitations, sign-in boards (check these out  http://www.cafepress.com/olinergraphics/3713459 ) and tons of other places to make your party personal, classic and unique.  Visit Liz's website at the link below to see Julia's "before" picture - and a great before and after of a bat mitzvah mom! There's another great idea!

How Gorgeous is This?
Get a unique piece of art from your child's photo to serve as your sign-in. This portrait from Liz Oliner, the same artist who created a portrait of MitzvahChic author Gail Greenberg's daughter can also go on invitations, and a zillion items in your own store on Cafe Press. 

See an example at  http://www.cafepress.com/olinergraphics/3662538  .  And visit Liz's website at the link below to see Ms. Greenberg's "before" and "after" picture - and a great "before and after" of a bat mitzvah mom (who is not Ms. Greenberg's mom)! But mom portraits - there's another great idea!

Here’s the plug I got from Mitzvah Chic. Mitzvah Chic is a wildly popular book and website for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah crowd and I was thrilled to illustrate the author’s daughter for her own bat mitzvah. You can also check out my plug by clicking here. You can see my image on that page, click on it to read the below.

Get a Fabulous Portrait of the Bar/Bat Mitzvah For Invitations, Sign in, Anything!

What does the queen of bat mitzvahs ask for when she can have anything she wants? An original "Liz Oliner!" This is the portrait of her daughter that MitzvahChic author Gail Greenberg is using on her daughter Julia's invitations, sign-in piece and in decorations.

Go to artist Liz Oliner's website (link is below) to see more finished portraits and the photos she works from. Liz can put the finished work on sign-in boards, invitations, and even put up a CafePress store with the portrait on all sorts of items for your child, friends and family members to buy party favors, decorations or mementos.
Gail says: "Julia's so delighted, she's inviting her friends over to see the invitations before we can even get them mailed. She's also got a T-shirt with her portrait - it's sort of the team shirt for her bat mitzvah. What fun!".

This was the art for William's 4' banner at his Bar Mitzvah. It's hanging over his bed now. He loves it.

I created this for my son's Bar Mitzvah last year. He's an awesome kid. The Bar Mitzvah date was October 7th. Hence, the 10/07 in the logo. With a date like that the theme was obvious. I went a bit wild and made the entire family into bond characters and made an incredible movie. We had a blast.
