Ok, so I Painted one of the thumbnails about two post down. I cant decide whether to have the left corner kind of cropped leading the eye to the focal point or if I should just leave it open. Decisions, decisions...

Ink Monster Zen

2007-07-19T01:57:00.000-07:00

Well tonight in Business 101 Stefan Buchar of DailyMonster.com Came to speak to the class. Man this guy is awesome. He created a blog where he creates these ink monsters which he obviously loves making. I can honestly say this guy knows what he wants to do with his art career and his life. Very inspirational. He talked a little bit about blogging and how he perceived it. He said "why blog unless your really into it. It's exhausting". I grinned and thought ain't that the truth.
"It requires a certain momentum, you have to stay in touch with it. If it's a daily habit it's easier to train yourself. With a weekly blog you and all your visitors lose interest and eventually begin to neglect it". I agree, everyday one should post something, anything as long as you're into it and it's not being forced. Buchar says," When one post everyday It removes the preciousness of each individual piece and your less hesitant to post". Besides this he gave some great advice regarding dealing with clients and making a decision to live life as a human being not a mere profit making robot. He decided along time ago to put himself on greed control.

The quote or phrase he left us with was brilliant, it applies to both relationships and working with clients,
" Be Useful, Don't Be Lazy,
You'll Never Be Hungry or Alone."

Main character:: Slim Ideations

2007-06-30T15:15:00.000-07:00

Hello again! So here are some exploration studies for my main character Slim. I want this character to stand in contrast to the world around him. Majority of the other character are really wacky and pushed. This character is more conservative because he takes himself really seriously.

My Style

2007-06-29T04:26:00.000-07:00

Um, yeah. So I got sick of that one car i did about a year ago at Highmoon. I 've been thinking about doing this for a while. So finally last night i sat down and started it. This is a car idea that ive had for some time now based on tribal tattoo's. This is still the rough render so their will be a hell of a lot of changes the next post. I just layed in some color loosely to give me some kind of idea of where i want to take this. Yeah the next one will be in perspective.
