My Bio
So by the work in my Gallery you can probably tell I do a wide variety of works in many different mediums. I love to draw, paint, sketch, I love to create and for as long as I can remember I wanted to be an artist. So I went to College and was going to be a comic book artist. Six months after I started they dropped Illustration from their program as a Major. The influence of Computers had taken hold of art and my councilor instructed me that Graphic design was where all artists would end up.....I hated the thought of doing layouts and typography when I wanted to draw. And being I was going to small art school with a limited curriculum I dropped out. I free lanced and did a lot of temp work to get through and was content drawing here and there for people and companies. But work was far and very few between. then by happenstance the company my wife was working for wanted some fine art pieces having to do with the automotive industry for their building. They commissioned me and I created 8 pieces for them and launched my Automotive artist career. Over the next 5 years I traveled car shows and art fairs doing watercolor commissions for people of their cars, trucks, boat, planes, motorcycles, mopeds, pogo st....You get it. I started dabbling in pin-ups and sci-fi, fantasy while being a stay at home Dad for the last 8 years. And after a lengthy stand off with computers I have embraced digital art and am now trying to play catch up. I want to push my career past the starving artist phase and do more with what I love. Want to get more into Sci-fi and fantasy, character design, and movie/game concept work. Stay tuned...

Well, through the summer I got into a creative slump. I've been more committed to getting in shape (so I can create for more years to come).  I've had a couple good ideas that I've sketched out, but I haven't done much more with them.  Mostly because with the kids home in the summer it gets busy and I don't much time to myself to sit and draw or paint.  I've been trying to take my style and brushwork in a new direction (which is very hard) and sometimes very disheartening.  After years of being a very detailed artist I want to get a more expressive look, which can involve a lot of experimenting and failures.  It took a big toll on me and I've

Art workshop

So I signed up for an Art workshop on CG society.  It is on "How to become a better artist".  I just started today and so far I see a lot in my art that will change because of this class.  I guess when I step back and look at all my art here I see that I have been up to this point a portrait artist.  I just draw or paint what I see and that is what I want to change about my art.  I want to tell a story with my art, I want people to be immersed in the environment and be captivated by the characters and what their struggles or joys are.  Up to this point I guess my art is like a practice in technical skill and that's about it, I've always wonde

So I got my Gears art done....Not a very big reception to it...I have mixed feelings.  It's absolutely the best I can do so that's good enough for me.  But if I lose to someone who chopped apart a screenshot or something someone else created I'm gonna be pissed.  I spent nearly 100 hours on mine hand drew/painted it and some of these people have submitted dozens of frankesteined creations......Hope those judged recognize talent when they see it.
