Round Two - Art Whore Extraordinaire.

Quick update:

My latest completed digital design went up for scoring on Threadless.com. The print version is titled "The Muse 3" and I hope people enjoy the idea enough to slap 5's on it. Voting is open until Monday, Dec 8th.

Please be sure to go check it out and cast your votes! Thanks and have an awesome day.

I Am Alive.

Quick update for anyone fearing that this blog is dead or dying:

It isn't.

The past two months have consisted of more work than I care to enumerate at present, grad school kicking the shit out of me, me kicking the shit out of grad school, working with charming (but very tiring) kindergarteners, personal issues, bad decisions, worse behavior, and generally shitty times, culminating in the death of a cherished family member yesterday evening.

In between all that stuff, I've tried to salvage what little I can of my artistic passions, and put things to good use. The only relatively novel thing worth reporting on is that I began experimenting with digital painting. It's an interesting medium and I want to explore it further. My first ever attempt at digital painting is below, in a piece entitled "Study 1 - Saiyu: Disgraced Runway Model." It's messy, but I had a good time bringing it to life and hope to try more pieces in this style soon. By the way -- yes, believe it or not, Gun is still in production.




In short, November has not been fun. Here's hoping December will be better. Bye.
