I added 3 new posters to the gig posters section of the site. I really like making gig posters.

So my ‘friend’ Nick started this site to learn how to digitally paint. Good Idea. It’s a bloggy posty community thing.

I said to him.

“Hey, why don’t you open this up to other artist instead of hogging it all to yourself? Besides, don’t you already have like, 15 websites dedicated to you. about you, and for you. by you?

He promptly told me to shut up.

“Shut up”.

“That was my plan all along, I just wanted to get it rolling first”

Long story short. Nick has yet another site. (this one I actually go to). Its called 500 posts. I have some digital paintings up there too. If you are an artist or even not, I think it’s a great way to learn. It’s helped me quite a bit. http://500posts.com/

Every Year the Calgary Comic Expo has an Artbook that attending artists submit artwork to. This year I sent one in. Although I won’t know if I got in until last minute. ….? Or something.. The on-going theme is Western/Cowboy. I decided on an Alien Sci/Fi twist. This particular version is more appropriate than my original “Brokeback Alien” Gotta keep it clean for the kiddies right?! A few months ago started to learn digital painting and thought this would be a good project for that. this. thing. there. yeah. Thats all for now. larger version is in the illustration section.  “Y’all come back now, dammit”

Sometimes sitting down in front of an unmarked sketchbook page scares the shit out of me. Especially when I’m just drawing for the sake of drawing. I’m getting help for that. I’ve found that just filling the page with some kind of pencil marks, will more often than not, turn out surprising. So, for the past few days I have just been doodling away at this sketch. It’s not for a commission. Just for fun. Kind of like when you draw on the yellow pages while you’re talking on the phone. I like how this turned out. There is a larger version of this in the sketchbook section.

I have some new images in the sketchbook section. I still have to upload some more older-ish ones later.
