sketchings

Pulled a few pieces from the ol' sketchbook into Photoshop tonight and quickly inked them so i could throw something up in an attempt to get everyone more comfortable with the idea of just posting their work. Anyways, i'm kind of trying on a new style, its waaay more cartoony than i'm used to but i'm having alot of fun with it. The concept for them was just a quirky duo of treasure hunters, one silly one serious. enjoy

Im Enraged, But since the folks Im mad at are all over the Myspace...its not safe to post there, So You all can read my Hatin' instead

<----- Here is a example of my FX Makeup.

Here is a example of  my Competitions work------->

First off let me say, that I dont get alot of work. Jobs are few and far between. There's just no real market for what I do in this town. But, every once and awhile some stupid band music video gig pops up, and I am able to pay rent on time for once by getting it.  

Well Thanks to some other Hacks that I trained at one of the Local Haunted Houses...I am getting my jobs taken away. 

Normally, this wouldn't bother me; No Fuck that...It would bother me, but I would eventually get over it.

But not this time.....Because I know that I am infinitely better than this guy. And the only reason He has any work at all is Because I taught him a bit so he could work a stupid Haunted House Job making teenagers into Zombies.

I am so full of Hate!

One a week!

Just a heads up, we are going to start weekly concepts this Friday. You'll have from then till the following Thursday at midnight to finish.

little shite

Glad to be here. Following the first piece this is the most recent thing I've done. Drew the little flower guy in pen first, sketch just grew around it.

A fantastic website showcasing an expansive variety of art that really helps me find direction when im looming over an irritatingly blank page.

WIP podcast

Here's a really informative podcast about sort of the inner workings of the art job market and how to improve your skill, networking, and chances or getting a job. They do interviews with artists talk about how to overcome certain hurdles and basically give alot of insight into the things that you should really know if you are passionate about it.

INTRO

First of all thanks for signing up, you guys are rad! So here's the deal; this is basically going to be a place for just my friends and their friends (it wont be open to the public, for now anyways) who are artistic to just come together in an attempt to better ourselves in that respect.

So here are a few things I want to accomplish with this blog

Art critiques- We all have those projects that have us banging our heads against a table in frustration. Post em here and get some feedback hopefully one of us can shed some light on it. Keep in mind this is for us to help each other get better, so don't be afraid to be honest but don't be a dick either.

Weekly subject- This i'm most excited about. So I like anyone artistic often stare at a blank piece of paper or my computer screen hoping an idea will magically pop into my head, also it's nice to have a REASON to get something rolling. Here's where you come in, once a week one of us will pick a subject and we'll all make a piece according to that subject. I'll just go down the list and each week and a new person will get to choose. This forces people to A. Have a reason to create and B. try something that they normally wouldnt, which is integral to bettering yourself.

Other crap- Cool links? Awesome resources like tutorials? Any art news, galleries, or inspiration in general. hell maybe even music that you tend to listen to while being all artsy. whatever turns your artistic cranks, post that shit here!! we'd all love to see it.

and with that, this bitch is officially off the ground, the next week or so will probably wrangling members so we wont start the weekly subject matter just yet, but feel free to start posting.. have fun guys!
