To Boldly Go!

Tue Feb 9, 2010, 12:08 AM
Been awhile since I posted. No I haven't been lazy. Quite the opposite in fact. I've landed a couple commissions. One to do the artwork for a Graphic Novel that I hope will be finished and out this summer. The second project is a couple paintings for book covers along with some interior illustrations. And finally a painting to be used as a poster for a B-Movie / Sci-Fi (Or is it Sy-Fy these days) convention. Good times.

The scary part is I was laid off from my day job today. Whilst on the surface this is a good thing since I can focus on getting a job that actually has something remotely to do with art and on getting some freelance work, it's still a nerve wracking feeling having to rely on unemployment benefits to pay the bills until something comes along. Personally I am all for getting lots of freelance work - preferably the kind that actually pays the bills.

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.
