Why Do I Lie To you Like That?...

I know I promised an update, but, you see, the thing is, I'm lazy.... Yup, that about sums it up. I wanted to put up one of my newer works in progress, but so much for that. I suppose instead I'll just put up one of my older pieces I haven't shown here yet.

Tada. This one is called "Bubble Pop Fantasy" and was the first in my fantasy series (of 3 so far). Originally, I think I was going to do this in a cel shaded style, but somehow it just didn't work out like that. I like it, especially the kind of retro, graphics thing going on in the background. Also note that the headphones she's wearing are a pair of headphones I actually own. Yeah for product placement. Sony, that's free advertising, you could at least send me a PS3 or something for my troubles. More to come later. Peace.

Updates Soon...

I don't know if you're supposed to update claiming that you're going to update later, but that's what I'm doing. Soon, very soon I will update, and that will hopefully motivate me to actually work more. I have this painting that I'm supposed to be doing for Zoha. I think I'm like 80% done. Must... get... motivated... All that's really needed for that is the hair and a couple of final touches... Ah, laziness, how I do love you.

In other news, this girl makes me smile. I don't know if you're supposed to say that after only seeing someone three times, but she does. Even so, you know me. Eff the rules, I'm going with it.

Ok, that's all for now, but I'll be back, with art.

Of Life and Tee Shirts...

Hmm, life is pretty good right now, I can't really complain. I mean, I guess I could complain, but there wouldn't really be much use in that now would there? At the moment, it's the time of the fast, which is actually pretty cool. It's the second week in, and I'm mostly adjusted now. It's weird, the hardest part of fasting is actually the boredom. Now that I can't eat, I realize just how much of my day is spent snacking, or drinking, or eating something. If I find I'm a little bored with what i'm working on, I'll go get a snack. If I'm feeling a little sleepy, I can go get a coke. For the next week and a half, I guess I'll just have to do without.

Anyway, not a lot on the art side right now, I have full on paintings I'm working on, but those take a while to finish. I haven't sketched in some time, so maybe I need to get back into that, but really, I just like painting more I think.

Ok, so this is a mock up for a shirt I was designing. I don't know who the guy wearing the shirts is. It's not me. He better not be wearing the shirt when I order it, I know that much. I'm still on the fence about it though cuz they use a digital printing method, which is cool because I can use as many colors as I want, but it's not cool because it seems to leave a white border around the image. Again, we'll see, but this is what I've been doing lately.

Oh Em Gee

OMG, it's been almost a year now. I haven't sketched or reloaded in a year. for shame. Ok, let's do a little bit of both, first:

This was an epic birthday present for a friend promised a couple of years ago. That's right, some five years ago I promised to do a poster for a friend (you may remember it). It was going to be the fairly large piece to be printed at 24 x 48. It would have been so cool. Well, some things happened. The hard drive it was on burned out (kinda literally), and my friend was heading off to China, so I decided to fast forward produce something for him before he left. The resulting painting came out pretty well, but stupid CafePress didn't get it in time because they claimed the image was a copyright violation ?!? Whatever. More to come soon hopefully.
