I am working on some Bioshock fan art, I know it's not my usual type of work but for some reason the art in that game really inspires me. Not to mention that the story is pretty compelling.This week for our little animation club I challenged myself to do a head turn-around. (I'm not calling it a head turn because the characters neck doesn't actually turn like a life like movement, its literally a

Some new artwork i completed today :-) I saw black swan last week with Tad and his bestie Brian. It was a great movie and sparked some good conversation. It was interesting to discus that since Nina had reached her idea of "perfection" the logical (SPOILER) end to the film was for her to die. Life would seem pointless after you have achieved the one thing you have perused your entire life. Not

New pictures Etsy tips that have worked so far...

2010-10-04T09:29:00.000-07:00

So since im un-employed I decided to really try and get my etsy store revamped. First i took all new pictures of my prints in frames, so people could see what they would like like all set up and ready to hang in their homes. Plus in my opinion it adds "front page appeal". It's rare that I see flat artwork on the front page, I think photographing them this way allowed me to play more with angles

Zazzle Disapointment...

2010-09-30T00:36:00.000-07:00

So i went to order some new business cards since im looking for new work. And while I was at it i decided i would go ahead and try ordering some buttons to try to sell in my etsy shop... well zazzle went to charge me shipping for the business cards AND the buttons separately, an additional $6.99..... WTF? Its too late for me to try to figure it out so i just removed the buttons... but seriously.

2010-06-13T08:46:00.000-07:00

I don't commission other artists that often, and sometimes people are curious as to why i do it at all. my mother has asked me "but... you can draw, why are you paying someone else to draw for you?" lol and the simple answer is that the artists i commission create work that i simply could not do justice to. I have a great appreciation for these people and adore their style, movement, and
