If you are an artist and have been on the internet for any amount of time you know there are a lot of community websites for artists. Well I could spend my entire day trying to keep up with them and submit stuff to each one, but lets be realistic that is just not feasible and although you can get work from being noticed on everyone of those websites, each site has there loyal following of individuals who swear by the community as a whole, I just find myself getting lost in the flood. Recently I came upon this site who was referred to me by a friend and this has been one of my favorite sites to peruse and see what other artists are creating. I just signed up to the site today myself and if you are an artist consider doing the same. Either way it’s worth checking out. www.cgsociety.org

So I was working on an Ad today and the customer liked the ad, but found the girls mid section showing to edgy… I know in this day and age…. so anyway normally we would just go search for a new photo, but seeing is how this is the 3rd photo we tried and actually liked; I decided to do a quick change to her clothing. These are the results, not my best work, but was fun and only took a a few minutes… time is crucial when I just want to get something done and move on.

Here is another one I had to do, it was a little more tricky. I ended up just drawing an undershirt onto this one, most people may not even notice. It came out alright it will do. Beats having to spend 45 Minutes to search for new photo’s for the ads.

I know why create another Business Card? Well this one is replacing the others. I want to focus on one thing and this website is what I decided would be the best thing to focus on. So I really have been working to consolidate everything into one place for some time now. This makes the other cards irrelevant. These new cards should be here soon. I don’t know why but waiting for them to arrive is always a little exciting.

My portfolio section just received a massive update and I hope to keep it updated. So if you are interested to see what I do everyday at work please go check it out here.

Was able to get some down time at work so I wanted to do some contrast study, this is the result of that study. I got a little carried away and went to town on the image instead of doing the real contrast study I had intended to do. Never the less, I liked the final outcome so I thought I’d share.

I wanted to study facial expressions and although these aren’t photo’s they really do a great job. The illustrator Dani Jones has a great page of 50 facial expressions. If you are interested in learning about facial expressions I highly suggest checking these out. He even gives a PDF that you can download. Click Here to check out the page.

Paper Art Toys by artist Zakane! How cool is this? I was watching toybreak and they were showing these paper art toys and I had to go check out the site. So why do I find these so interesting? Truthfully they just look so cool. This is something I could see kids of all ages loving. I remember way back when I was kid (doodloodo Flashback) I was watching a King Kong movie marathon of such classics as King Kong, Son of Kong, Mighty Joe young and I loved the movies so much while I was watching them I created paper toy kong’s. Sometimes its what you create yourself that makes you the happiest. That being said I can seriously see how these could be so much fun, maybe I will make some with my niece. It’s the simplest way to create your own toys the cheap and free way. They don’t cost anything to download and make. Print out the designs and go at it. Now when I say simple to make, don’t get me wrong I know it’s not as easy as it sounds or might look, check out the video after the break and you will see what I mean. ...Continue Reading

I know its only October, but Christmas is just around the corner and I have a few projects I’d like to get done for Christmas Gifts. So I have held off on releasing my new web site till the first of the year for sure. Its a good thing, gives me time to focus more on how I want to launch the site and my new products. Also I am finding new ways of doing things and have found wax to be my favorite sculpting medium. So stay tuned for new things to come!
