Watchers

Again I have returned to the place where I started.  Since his passing, I have thought about the work of Mr Frazetta more and more and how it got me started.  How he could convey so much in a piece and tell a story using large areas of flat color only letting the details show in certain spaces on the painting guiding the viewers eye exactly where he wants it.  While I wont go back to the blatant cloning I did when I was much younger I think there is still much to learn from Mr Frazetta about simplifying my work and making it more effective.

I am an illustrator, both traditional art and digital. Traditionally I work in Watercolor and oils but due to a lack of studio space and proper ventilation, I work primarily in digital mediums these days. Painter XI is my software of choice although I also work in Photoshop or Illustrator if I get a wild hair or I feel like the piece would be serviced better. And yes occasionally I will move furniture and open windows for an afternoon of oil painting.

I pretty much do everything from landscapes, to portraits, but my favorite subjects are often sci-fi and fantasy. I'm also just dorky enough to love comics =)

I'm also an amature photographer. I consider myself amature because I mostly photograph architecture and landscapes while on vacation overseas. These I use for reference for my painting or just for hanging on my wall.
