Dragon-A-Day, Day 142

SEX!

Now that I have your attention, here are some thoughts on what I would like to do and what I should do with myself on a professional level.

Dragon-A-Day, Day 141

I was reading an article about guerrilla self-promotion on ArtOrder this afternoon, and I got to thinking about my own self-promotional efforts.
Every year, I make a new business card, partially because I make short runs and because I feel the need to “rebrand” myself. That, and seeing as I always feature a piece of artwork [...]

Culling the Weak.

A short post about a long look at my work and how it’s presented.

Pardon our dust- again.

The design and hierarchy of the site has remained largely untouched for an embarrasingly long time. I’m in the process of changing that, so it’s more reflective of what I currently do. A partially updated version is on the front page and some of the pages will be removed/consolidated to make it flow better.
I don’t [...]

In the Spirit of the Season.

I’ve been away for awhile, and that’s not a good thing.
Things have gotten busy, but not exactly in the way that I would like, but they’re starting to turn around. I managed to keep up with my Holiday cards this year, although they’re going out later than I really wanted them to- I had come [...]

Something quick

Hey there internet, it’s been awhile since we talked.
First off, I finished that clown image from a month or so ago:

I used it as the first page for my portfolio when I walked the floor at GenCon. The con was good; I met a lot of interesting people, made some connections and such. We will [...]

I need to adjust the contrast on some of the shading, and I need to add a few more highlights. But I also need to get up dumb-early tomorrow, so I need to eat dinner and go to bed soon.

EDIT: took a look at it and realized that the contrast on [...]

No time for clowing around.

Because it’s late and I have to get up tomorrow morning.
I figured out what I was doing wrong when I started on this the first time. I was doing the fills first and then trying to define them with strokes, which was totally counterintuitive. However something as colorful as this (or a lot of the [...]

Clowning around.

It’s been awhile, and as you might have judged by the grievous lack of posts, I have bot been keeping to my production schedule. At all.
Anyway, I figured I would post a process skecth of something that I’m working on and am aiming to finish this week and add to my portfolio.

More on this [...]

Staying on Track.

Back when I started this big, crazy sketchblog idea, my primary intention was to have a goodly number of fantasy-style pieces to trot around at GenCon.
As some of you may have noticed, Life had other plans.
So, The Girlfriend and I came up with a timetable for me to get something done in time for the [...]
