Been very busy lately...


Sorry about the lack of posts...just been extremely busy lately...and I'm running out of old art to share with you. That's the problem with the illustration world...most of your very best stuff is sold and belongs to someone else. You draw something, sell it, then rarely ever see it again.

I will try to post more often...but I can't really say with hat frequency it will be.

I draw therefore, I am!

You don't have to be a great artist to be an artist...I've known some very successful artists that couldn't draw a straight line on their best day...
the fact is no matter how good or how bad it is, when it comes to art, someone will like it and someone else will hate it...
I've drawn pictures for clients that I personally thought were sub-par, but...that's what they wanted, that's what they liked, and who am I to argue.
So...if you like to draw, to paint, to air-brush, or whatever media you prefer, and someone comes along and goes ' Eeewwwww, that's awful! ' what 10 minutes and someone else will come by and say ' Geee, hey, that's pretty good! '
The worst critic is usually the artist him/her self...personally, I have never drawn anything I have been completely satisfied with...there is always something I could have done better or improved upon...
the day I draw the perfect piece...is the day there is no more ground to improve upon...once you have that perfect piece...where else do you go?

peace,

Visitors

I am right now at the point where I am trying to determine what to do with these blogs...with a new website and forums it is difficult to find the time for everything...but it's not a simple decision...I hope to keep these blogs open but at this point in time I just don't know if that will be possible.

We shall see...and hope for the best.

Illustration

As an art form illustration isn't something normally considered fine art or wall art...but...it's not supposed to be either.

As an art form it has it's own qualifications and it's own little nitch.

It can be subtle or quite dramatic, simple or complex; it can be a pencil drawing or a colorful piece of art made with anything from charcoal to watercolors.

It was the first of all art...from the cave drawings to the word-art of the ancient Egyptians.

High School Sports

It's amazing the difference between how Canadians and Americans veiw High School Sports...

In Canada they are virtually looked upon the same as Grade School sports...you're lucky if there's 80 people in the stands...and they're all related to the players or connected to the team.

In America they are veiwed with the same excitement as College sports...there can be 1000's of people in the stands...all hyped-up and into it...like they're watching the Super Bowl.
