Trying to make time

Hey watchers, followers, whatever you guys want to call yourselves! Just wanted to drop in and give a little report on the front lines of my life :]

Work, work, work, I've been working! I know a lot of people say that when they don't update but I'm serious, here's exactly how much I'm juggling around:
  • Urban Rivals (Character Concept art)
  • Gameview Studios: Fatal Frontier (Character Concept Sketches/Lineart)
  • DeNA Studios Canada: GI Joe project (Character Lineart)
  • Mangamagazine.net: SIN (Sequential art)
  • MADSOFT Games: Project Velyria (Character Concept art)
  • Comicmania Customs: MtG variants (Character art)
  • Other stuff: A book cover and a bunch of sketches


A lot of stuff yea? Well, not my point.

The thing is, I know something like 90% of you watch me for my pop-paintings which I really enjoy doing but being a freelancer I have great difficulty saying "no" to good paying jobs. As a result I just don't have that much time to go paint something for the fun of it these days.

However, it's no secret that I owe most of my success to the DA community & internet fandoms for giving me copious amounts of exposure during/coming out of Art College, getting a job came like a breeze! Doing pop paintings has always been kind of my way of giving back to you guys.

So bottom line is, I want to find more time to get back into it. Paintings of things I love, for people who love them. Yea? Okay.

Here's a link to a few sketches of initial ideas on Tumblr and here's to hoping I'm not a huge flake and actually get to them!

Argh, so cool man... Seeing another artist getting paid for what used to be considered a crippling mental aberration... Even when I was a kid (I'm 25 now) it was 'Oh... An artist.' Now it's 'Oh! An ARTIST!' Suddenly I'm not scum, I'm potentially useful, lol.... Love seeing artists make it their day job. Awesome.
