Divide and Holy Crap

Will be splitting up my "Fine art" from my Horrendous art soon.  It is necessary just to keep my huge head from twisting in the wind and confusing the issue of this blog.  I have been on a roller coaster ride for almost 2 years and am just settling in to the prospect of getting going on all fronts.  I have had an incredible journey over the last two years, moving to Beantown, working nearly full time, going to Grad school and trying to organize a very unorganized life.  It starts tomorrow.

Getting back to a Damn Pencil

It has really been a long time since I have just sketched with a pencil (using a Wacom tablet almost exclusively at work).  I have found that I am a bit rusty and that I really miss the variety of feel and moment so easily generated.  So tired of the computers rendition of a line, and then tired of fixing a simple line electronically impaired.  Hopefully the momentum with continue and the rust will fall.

It starts with 4.

I have been busy over the last couple of days painting myself silly.  These paintings represent an experiment.  Trying to hide "hand" using non-typical ways of slushing through the pigment piles and creating suitable backgrounds for what will be "text" in the foreground.  These paintings are the beginnings of my Thesis work....more on that coming up in the coming months that are coming near.

Here are some character pages

March marches forward

I am just about to finish up a Freelance gig and about to embark on some exciting stuff.  Finally.  Don't get me wrong, work is work and money is a wonderful thing, but there are times one must focus on the big move forward.  Watch out, here I come!
