SOLD!!!


...selfless plug... Visit my ETSY STORE!


I have currently 4 paintings up for sale, which used to be 5 until Tuesday. Thats's right! One of them was bought! I thought something was wrong with my computer at first or maybe I owed money to Etsy for unpaid listings or something, I honestly didn't think anything was going to be sold so soon, so it was a nice surprise :)


Say goodbye to the "Four Guitars" painting, it's on it's way to Texas! HOLLA!

Dude, this guy is awesome

I watch the art channel, it's called Ovation TV, and on this channel they have very interesting documentaries and old movies, and lots of other cool things that are very educational in the artistic persuasions. A show I caught the other day called "Driven by Vision", a half hour documentary about the ongoing artwork of one person or group, featured a guy named Jim Bishop. Bishop is a castle builder by hobby, ornamental welder by trade, and what really caught my attention was the first sentence the narrator said after introducing Bishop. "When he was 15, he had saved up enough money from odd jobs to buy a 2.5 acre plot of land in Colorado Springs and started building a one room stone cottage." I looked up and saw this castle, the project is freakin' incredible. This is one guy's project over the past 40 or 50 years and he has taken no help except for donations and visitors, everything here was built by, hand by him... right on!

Comics... the other other dork thing

I like comics and that style of artwork. I always have since I was little and it just appealed to me. Probably because the idea of being able to do super things sounded cool, or that being such a badass that no one in their right mind would call you a sissy for wearing spandex... personally, I'd do without the spandex, but to each his own.

About a year ago I though of an idea for a story, and since I draw everything anyways, I figured why not make it a comic book. So I started drawing pictures last December and then dropped it... fast forward to last week when I couldn't sleep. I thought about the comic book again and started writing a script, and an outline, character information, storyboarding, the works. I'm going to get this done dammit, even if it never sells, no one ever reads it, has any interest, or cares about it except me. So HA! Take that brain! You thought of something and now I'm going to do it so you'll be quiet! MWAHAHA!
*Ahem* I did manage (somewhere throughout my inner dialogue) to get done with an ink drawing of the bad guy in the comic... don't laugh, it's cliche to the max power all right, but it's mine and I like it. This guy is also up on my dA site too. I know it looks lame right now but once I add color it should be just groovy...
