Deviation Actions
I thought I lived out in the country before. But now I definitely feel like I live out in the middle of nowhere! And I think I have the worst internet since dial up. That’s what I get, I guess. There’s a definite disconnect from the art community when you have limited access to the internet. I feel like I no longer live in the U.S. where everyone else seems to have instant access to the internet. So now my non-existent status as a deviant art member will probably be even more so than ever. And here I was hoping to start up commissions on here since I’ve finally upped my digital art rendering speed from a crawl to a walk! Oh, well. We’ll see what the future holds!
First Convention
I recently went to #RathaCon with the author of Blightwood as a Author/Illustrator team. It was a local convention, but a great experience and a good start. I'm not the most social person, but this was a great platform to begin. To artists considering signing up for a small venue, I say do it! But consider your costs and pricing wisely. I honestly say mark your prints moderately. Smaller conventions are not full of big spenders, but there are a lot of people who are impressed by your talent and do want to purchase. And as the convention is winding down, you really should consider discounting what you can to turn a profit. While at a conventio
Self Published Juvenile Fiction Work
I'm going to be submitting a lot of art for the upcoming novel I did illustration work for a self published novel by fellow deviant Dustin C. Parker. Most of the pieces are traditional pencil illustrations. But I'll be including the cover art and some concept stuff. This project has been my life for a year since this has been a self published labor of love. I worked extremely close with the author. More info to come.
My Artists Worst Woe
You'd think that someone who loves to work with sculpting and dimensional illustration would know how to use a camera. I don't! I take horrible pictures and I don't seem to know anything about lighting when it comes to capturing it to film. I have so many pieces that I want to post, but my pictures are so horrible and unprofessional that I don't end up posting them because I'm too embarassed. And then when I think I've actually taken a good shot, it turns out to be oddly fuzzy when I open it up on my computer, usually because I trust that stupid blur icon. And by then the piece has usually been sent off to it's new home, so I can't take more
Artist Introduction
Sometimes I try to picture where my life would be if I hadn't chosen a path in art. For someone that enjoys being creative, I have a difficult time picturing what that life would be. I have to admit, I'm not really good at anything else. I like to draw people and I like telling stories. I spend way to much time dreaming inside my own head. I am an illustrator at heart. It's that simple.
Fairly early in life I came to the realization that I wanted to do something creative for a career. Growing up I don't think I spent much time in the real world. I honestly don't know how I took my head out of the clouds long enough to pay attention in schoo
