Discover A Muse Hits the Shelf!

That's right guys, the wait is over. Discover A Muse is officially published and on sale. I added a link to the site bellow on the sidebar. So click on over and take a look for yourself. I'm a bit broke at the moment, so maybe i'll ask for it for Christmas haha. May sound sad, but that's my plan... I mean, it IS for a good cause, so lets not forget about that.

First Commercial Gig!

This is my first Published Illustration job that paid! Although I have been fortunate enough to do well with recent charity events such as "Discover A Muse" and the 2010 "TaTa Gala", This has been the first PAYING gig I have gotten published. So if you really love me drop by a Hot Topic this Christmas and pick up a Copy of Wonderland by Sea Of Treachery! Also the Discover A Muse book will be out and on sale soon, so go pitch in and support the cause!

Ambush: Final

It is finished! Finally! I really drug that one out big time... and yes some of you may have noticed that a party member is missing. So what, It's my painting, I can do what I want. And that character was just rubbing me the wrong way the whole time I worked on it. So out she went. Just in time for Illuxcon 2010. Which I am driving to in the morning. 5hrs! by myself...It's gonna feel like days I'm sure.

Ready For The TA TA GALA

Well, after sending it off to be printed on canvas, stretching the print onto a frame than staining the slats and nailing them to the sides of the canvas, I am ready to express ship this sucker to the gallery opening later this week. Talk about a rush job, but the printing of the piece took longer then I was expecting. I would so do it again though. I am really happy with the results. Makes me feel more like a real artist to have it on canvas in my hands that size. Very exciting.

A Tasty Concept...

Who has heard of Jovoto? I hadn't till recently. I guess it has only been recently that I have gotten into more graphic design stuff, so that may have something to do with it. They are a corporate design contest host. So you go there sign-up and start competing. All of them are for monetary prizes of varying amounts so there is always an incentive. These are my entry slides for the first one I have taken part in. The end goal is to design a concept for a new line of snacks for Kit Kat brand. The entry for this one closes in the next day or so then there is an extra week of voting by peers. It's always fun if you can do something that could make money in your spare time, right?

A Brief Segue into Design

Well after three days of working on my ambush painting I kind of needed a break. SO I decided to re-brand the company Smoothie King instead. Don't ask me how that is a "break" but it was fun. Took me about four days to finish from beginning to end. Sketches for all this started Thursday evening and I finished everything up this evening. Do I still need a break? Nah...well maybe haha. But who doesn't. These shots are only a taste of the full project. Take a HOP over to my site to take a look at the full thing.
