This last week was really weird. Topping off stuff with Josh the Whale, and doing rush work for Overstock.com, it has been a busy week. But enough of my excuses for not posting more often. But between the confusion and stress, I was able to enter the serene fields of sketch and study. This time ... Read More
If you have been following my blog for a while, you know that I have mentioned my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet a few times. And you know that I have said I would put together a video of me using it, several times now, and I haven’t come clean yet. I know… I still want to ... Read More
I have been waiting on a job this last week, and we have had a bit of down time with Josh the Whale. So, in the mean time, and considering that I didn’t do a Sketch Review last week, I thought some drawing was in order. It is amazing how fast you can get out ... Read More
No specific title this time around. Been busy setting up work and a few other things, but I have had a bit of time to draw and paint throughout the last week and a half or so. And, to keep things simple this week, I decided to just post a simple video of some of ... Read More

With a different subject to explore every week in my drawings or paintings, I will try to become more diverse in my skill ... Read More
I have been seeing allot of stuff done in Krita lately. Also, I have been reading allot about over at David Revoy’s blog. And I finally took the time to get into it and learn some things. And my initial impressions are good. The brush engine is fantastic. It’s fun to just go in ... Read More
Josh the Whale is moving along nicely. Bryce is figuring out the new engine and we have already put together some proof of concept work. While he’s figuring out how to get this all put together in an application, I am trudging forward, getting other areas of the game designed and finished. This is a ... Read More
Again, sorry for the lack of posting. I have been busy with a few things. First, Thor Media’s new live wallpaper has been delayed for a couple weeks, so I have been working around that. Also, I have picked up a smaller VFX job. Just some small tracking and green screen work, which I will ... Read More
