Today I try 3D using Blender!

So I tried my hand at 3D for the first time ever today! I've been using Blender. This is a totally free 3D program and you can find it for yourself at blender.org. I've been reading and watching tutorials for hours now and love it! Heres my very first sculpt WIP:

The Dark Freaking Knight

So this has nothing to do with my art. It has more to do with art appreciation...


I just watched The Dark Knight and yes, It's actually as amazing as it is said to be. Its by far the greatest superhero movie I have ever watched. Ledger does become what is now the greatest representation of a super villain on film...ever. I can honestly say that any male who does not in some way love this film...should probably just stop watching movies altogether.

I've learned how to make my own picture hyperlinks!

That's right, now when I post a link to this blog I can do it in style. I've been playing with different types and looks. I like to give myself options. So far I've come up with these 12 choices. If anyone is interested in putting my sweet-o blog link on their own website let me know and I'll send you the embed link code!

My new Watermark!

Today I finally created a digital watermark signature for my [more important] images.
This is an example of the variations. (Normally each image will only get one of these watermarks.) With more than one choice I''ll be able to cut down on the watermarks distraction from the image. Dark tends to blend in with dark and light with light. Plus I can tweak the opacity. Sooo....thanks to my brain, crisis diverted.

The Nine Charcoal Portraits

Well, this is my very first post. I hope to be updating this regularly, as I plan on making it my official go-to website.

During the next few months I will be preparing to become a full fledge seller of the arts. I will be selling photo prints, photo stock, as well as charcoals like these ones. So stay tuned (subscribe!) and see what happens.

Recently I decided to create some cartoony portraits. All of these were done using charcoal on 11x15, heavy weight, durable, cold press, acid free paper originally used for watercolor.
To see any of them closer, click on the picture and increase the size.
These will soon be for sale on either Ebay or Etsy!
