Recuperation

I find it hard to keep creating pieces when they're just not working for me. I think I'm discouraged because I really am awful with Adobe Illustrator CS and every job description asks me to be completely fluent in the program. Nevertheless, I'm going to struggle and kick vector art's ass. In the meantime, more photoshop airbrushing practice. This one was a one-day sketch.


There's just something unnerving about doing flat color work and then working with gradients and airbrushing. ...There has to be a better way to mesh the two and I have yet to discover it for myself.

Now. I have 2 weeks before the San Diego ComicCon to color my two comics... and possibly draw up a third. I'm being as optimistic as ever.

Cheers.

Space for Art

Holy cow, I found some old wine label designs I had done, secretly hiding somewhere on my computer. Check 'em out. Yay.








I just joined up with myartspace.com and I'm not too sure why. It just looked so inviting to post artwork in more communities...?

I'm off to NYC for the next 2 days or so. A friend of mine will be leaving for gradschool and a picnic-going-away-party will be one of my main reasons for departure. In the meantime and afterwards, I have about 3 projects to work on while simultaneously teaching myself some more programs in hopes of finding a uh... 'real' job.
