Oh hey there! I found another fun way to whore myself out on the internet - I got an Instagram last week to add to my hoarder's pile of social networking. I'll be using Instagram to post sketches and warmup art that I don't really post any other place. If you're interested in seeing any of that, click away you perv:

And as always, I'm on also Tumblr and I check my Twitter pretty regularly (even if I don't post much). If you ever want to chat - I always respond to Tweets, I'd love to meet ya:

And for good measure, the ol' blog:

...hopefully it means you like my art enough to hit up my profile. Well let me introduce you to three little friends of mine:

They're where I'll be updating my progress on latest projects and news. Tumblr especially will be where I upload new fanart first.
I'm also open for commissions, so if you see something you like, send me a note!

Nothing special. Just a bit less like herpes than deviantart.

Conflicting Kingdoms now has a deviantart group... thing. Look at it. LOOK AT IT.

A few weeks ago, I was able to attend the opening of Ryan Woodward's Conte' Animated exhibition (conteanimated.com/).  Anyone reading this might have already seen his hand-drawn animation "Thought of You" (conteanimated.com/the-animatio…). Its been passed around quite a bit among artists on the internet.

Anyhow, before I left the exhibition I was able to talk with Ryan for a bit. Taking illustration and figure drawing classes had given me some doubts at that time, especially when I started comparing myself to others and feeling like I would never be good enough to make a living from illustrating. I began to ask myself if I was really cut out to dedicate myself to the profession and all its demands... or if maybe I should look into a more commonplace career with more predictability. I asked Woodward if he ever doubted himself as an artist when he was a student, in the sense that he should be doing something else with his life.  Now, this is a crazy-good artist who takes regular trips to Hollywood to work on major motion pictures like Osmosis Jones, Spiderman 3, and more recently Cowboys and Aliens; just looking at his work is mind-blowing.

He said that, even now, he asks himself that question. But he made a good point afterwards - that, while you need to be satisfied with your own art to some extent from feeling like a failure, you should never be complacent with your own skill. THAT is the point when you stop growing.

I really needed to hear that.
