Cross Country...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some pictures from my train trip back to California and my recent weekend trip. Taken in Colorado, California, and Oregon. Keep in mind I have absolutely no knowledge in photography and some of these were taken from inside a train as it was moving.

How so very Epic...

As I mentioned before, I love animation. It's what started it all for me. Here are two vids, so full of EPIC WIN it's ridiculous.

The first is a Klingon Propaganda video. This might be more awesome to Trek freaks such as myself, but the animation is so stellar, even if you have no interest in Trek and all that entails, it is still worth viewing.

The second is a fantastic montage of Disney animation set to Nightwish's "Fantasmic." It's masterly edited. The best Disney vid out there as far as I can tell. Best of all, the song is not just randomly chosen, but about Disney animation. The song is truly epic.

Keeping the blood flowing...

Just a quick nude study to keep the blood flowing.

Commission

My latest commission. It received a great reception from the commissioners.

The Fame Monster

In the throws of this hectic week getting ready for California, (I leave Friday am) I found out something amazing. A couple weeks ago, on a lark, I submitted my painting "Ride on the White Horse" to the Lady Gaga "The Fame Monster" contest to be part of the artwork on the new album due to drop in November I believe. Well I was contacted yesterday with the news my work had been selected (by a group of judges including the Lady herself). Needless to say I was blown over and am beyond excited. That, coupled with a wonderful reaction from the commissioners to my latest commission, made up a pretty radtastic Monday night. Oh, and I saw Star Trek again. All over great day. Now to finish packing!

Art Update

OMG. It's new art. Well, kind off. In progress commission. Should have finished a week ago. Have to stay focused. Will post it in it's entirety when it's completed.

And aren't my new icon's nifty? I'm kinda in love...

Sketchy Sketch

I'll continue to add to this till it's one hot mess of pure craziness. Just some sketches I've been doing when I get 5 minutes to sit down. Stuff from my sketch book, mixed with digital, mixed with my fooling around with both. It's already one hot mess.

Break Time Part 2

I think I might just continue to update as I go along with this one. See how much it changes. I'm usually pretty spastic with these things...

Break Time

I've been working on that portrait forever, or at least close to forever. And when I'm not doing that, I'm working. Well, I needed a break so I thought I'd have some fun. I don't know where I'm going with this. At the rate I'm going with that portrait, this could be done sooner. At the moment I think I'll expand and push back the background, fix the lazy feet (or lack there of), and have more fun. In any case, it's some proof I'm still alive...(Corel Painter).

Going to California

I'm finally going back to CA. October first. I'm taking the train. Something I've always wanted to do. It will be an adventure. I had originally planned to head back in April but life had other plans. Which is just fine. But the plan is in motion. I've been working as much as I can to earn as much as I can so when I get back out there I'm not required to find the highest paying job in less then 24 hours in the state of IOU's. Aside from my two jobs, and other odd jobs, I'm selling stuff on EBAY. So go have a gander. As I sell, I will add more.

EBAY!
