First Painting

This image is a digital mockup of what will be my first painting. The demands of my comic, school classes, and my illustration work leaves me very little time for my own independent art investigation. I think as a result of so much art oriented responsibility, I've somehow developed the need to manifest my ideas elsewhere. . .maybe? Yeah. So this is just a quickly-thrown-together image of a painting I will be slowly cultivating over the coming months. Potential is a theme that I've been thinking about quite a lot lately. This piece, I'm hoping, will illustrate a sense of potential as subject/landscape, whatever. It's dependent on process. It's dependent on mark-making. It's space. It's detached. It's mine.

Let There Be Models!

Lots of people have been asking me to start posting up videos/tutorials/documentation of my process of model building. Unfortunately, this is not what this post is; however, while I've been in Japan, I've been lucky enough to pick up lots of good modeling supplies for really cheap! I've still got two transformers I need to paint before I get started on anything else. I also have classes to tend to this summer.... -__-
