Hey everyone!
Sorry for being so quiet lately, but I have been plugging away at commissions and dealing with some personal stuff for the last few weeks so I have been busy. (In fact I am working on the last commission of the batch right now.)
Wish I could share some good news, but this year is starting off a little rocky.
As I have mentioned to a few of you already, I am not taking on any new commission requests for a bit.
Part of the problem is that my computer is getting old and showing it's age by having color problems - basically it is becoming harder and harder to tune it. The next batch of commissions may be to buy a new comp.
I am also thinking however of adding a grayscale option instead of color - makes sense since you really won't have that much color problems if you are only shading in gray tones.
In any case I have to split my work between commissions and my own pieces - which I have been neglecting a lot lately - so I will need some time to see how this is going to work out.
I do want to go to conventions in the near future and have a table to sell stuff - but it's not really a good idea if you don't have anything to sell or promote yourself with.
So wish me luck and I will try to post a few things here and there as I get back into the groove.
Cheers!

Forced E-Retirement
This is just another nail in the coffin of my good old iMac.
Google has decided to retire any support for my reliable work-horse of a machine as of this week - and this is a pretty impact because of all the google-based sites and programs people routinely use.
Previously this year it was Skype and before that it was tumblr.
All the warning I got when it happened was a big middle-finger and F*** YOU from them when I tried to log in.
I am very reluctant to part with this computer because it was the first art-dedicated machine I bought with my money earned as an artist.
This planned obsolescence is crap because most updates are just feature
Decisions... decisions...
I have been on Deviantart for just over 10 years... wow.
I started as a lurker and after a couple of years decided to up my game and actually post stuff.
I was such a eager little art newbie that my ego exceeded my talent but I didn't know any better at the time.
Now it is more like the opposite with so many great artists here to inspire and drive me to get better and in turn people who actually say I inspire them.
Wow.
But now we got a whole lot more than Deviantart to rely on.
Facebook, twitter, instagram and tumblr allow us artists to find and share great art - in fact Deviantart allows us to upload to some these sites and more (goog
Becalmed - a personal update
Sorry for not being very active online lately but had to deal with a few things lately that never fails to take the wind out of my artistic sails when they happen.
My brother is staying at home right now and should soon be getting his skull back together in a couple of weeks. His rehabilitation is coming along well but he still acting very impulsive and reckless. I will feel better when he has a whole skull in place to protect his brain from injury.
My mom is fully recovered from her quadruple bypass surgery but she still has the issue which lead to her heart attack in the first place. Ablation took care of the messed up signals but now sh
Sketchy party - all spots are filled.
Thanks for all the requests people!
The first 9 spots have been paid for and the remaining people who have asked for a sketch commission should have already gotten their confirmation email from me.
From this point on any additional requests will be put on a standby list and will be notified if I can manage the extra workload comfortably.

I can relate....to the rocky issues..not the artistic issues... i'm trying to get back into the swing of things once more so i hope to rejoin the commission stampede once you reopen them! I like the idea of grey scale (sadly a often under appreciated skill by many which you totally rock in your sketch work) option.
