Pardon My babble ...

...but I seem to be going through a crisis of an artist nature. I produce a a lot of works form illustration to graphic design, comic book art to web design, T-shirt apparel design to Vector illustrations concept art to 3d character models. So I have lot of work and in recent years I have been holding off on pushing any of it because I wanted to put it in an artbook. But, it is increasingly hard on me to look at my art I have set aside for an artbook or a sketch book that is almost 2 years old and see good work or work that represent what I can do.

So my question, my queue is if you think one should hold showing the artwork to be shown exclusively in an art book or just put it out and if an art book comes up collect your best put it out. Don't worry about exclusivity and just be an artist.

Just something that is knocking around in my head. I sitting here on 200 or so various art works for projects that may or may not happen. I'd rather be see that than wait to see them if a book or two get out.

2010 and Beyond

Damn I am late in the updates but wanted to wish everybody happy holidays and definitely HAPPY NEW YEAR.

And with one big breath good bye to 2009, you have not been the best year.

but New Day, New year, New Decade, Lets Go.

On to the art as I do every Year, I knock out a single piece of art at the stroke of midnight. This years is IMMFHO is 100x better that last years, In fact I may color this one. I have yet to do that on any of the pieces I have done at the beginning of the year. Last years art was utter crap and basically that's the way the year went.

No name but I love the way in turned out and even slapped some grungy old paper on it for fun.

hope 2010 is great for all we all need to be in one way or another.

ArtRage Fun 17 The Batman

I know I haven't posted much. I have been working one some web design stuff as well my own web/ graphic design projects. On top of that I been doing some on-site freelancing. It really does feel great to work inside of an office/ part of team again. Even if it was just for a short time. I love the feeling of being around artist/ designers. There is an un-explainable energy that comes off that fuels me for some strange reason to push myself. My focus becomes unmatched and I start to work extra-hard. I love it.

But, None less I have something I have to get off of my chest. I can not draw Batman. Not draw him in the general sense. But, I can not draw him to my liking. The greats say you have to draw a character until you own him. Meaning you can draw that character like no one else. The version you have drawn is not like anyone's. That character is yours and you are so comfortable, that you can draw him/her/it in pose any shot, any action.

I simply have not got there yet. I have drawn him several times and he still feels so hard to draw and grasp it bothers me. But None the less I will press on until I own this get this character down.

This batman is about as close to that feeling that I have got so far.




More on the way,

Batman is property of DC Comics
Art is mine.
