Custom Graphic Artists

These were hand painted by the following people for Ibanez: Dan Lawrence, Pamelina H. and Pedro Cruz, with perhaps one additional artist used.

Custom Graphic Comments by Pamelina. As you might tell, she is very humble!

UCGR1 - This model was popular. I did a lot of these.

UCGR2 - This one was great. it was a design I enjoyed doing. All of the detail is only black paint. Very moody, very dark. Very popular. I painted more of these than anything else.

UCGR3 - I had overdone myself on this one. There's a lot of detail and they took a long time to do.

UCGR4 - I really liked this one and so did others. I used copper leaf to make the stripes behind the woman. When it catches the light, it's brilliant!

UCGR5 - Not much to say. It's not very good.

UCGR6 - is a guillotine. One of my favorites.

UCGR7 - Sorry, but another one I wasn't really so proud of.

UCGR8 - Really like this one. It really had the right mix of fine art that was visually striking, even from a distance.

UCGR9 - What can I say about this one? It's absolutely horrible!
