I've finally finished my most recent oil painting. Thank you to the dozens of people that have helped me tackle what has easily been the biggest artistic project of my life. It's been in the works for a while and I wouldn't have able to get it done without any of you.<br />
<br />
With this image complete, it concludes my time at the Georgetown Atelier as a student. It has been an amazing learning experience and has changed my life for the better. A big thank you to Tenaya Sims for making such an awesome school and being one of the biggest influences on my artistic career. The amount I've learned from you is immeasurable.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Had the pleasure of attending a work shop with Justin Gerard, Cory Godbey and Iain McCaig this past weekend. It was an awesome experience where I learned much. The main prompt was to take either Alice in Wonderland, or Beauty and the beast and creature your own representation of it.</div>
<br />
This is what I came up with. The value study was what I brought to the class and the line drawing is what I had at the end. I plan to take this to finish digitally at some point in the future.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had the pleasure of attending at workshop with Dan dos Santos this past weekend. I was awestruck the entire time. Dan is as phenomenal teacher as he is a painter. If anyone has an opportunity to interact with the man you should, and you will learn I a lot. This weekend in particular was daunting because this was my first foray in to traditional oil painting. The image is still a WIP but it ended up turning out a bit better than I had hoped. Her are some progress shots from the workshop.</div>
<br />
Anyone reading this should go attend these workshops. They are very informative and very much worth your time.<br />

<br /></div>
To my chagrin I learned that I would not be getting the job of a life time and becoming an in house concept artist for DnD. Oh well. The job was offered to an artist far more talented than I. <br /><br />Since that trial is over I thought I would at least show the world the test I took to try to get that lofty position. The devious minds of Jon Schindihette and Richard Whitters conceived an evil test with several prompts that were to be completed in only 24 hours. This mess of chicken scratch is the result of that 24hr art test.<br />

I went home for the Holiday of Thanksgiving and foolishly brought client work with me because I should have known none of it would have gotten done. Family, I love you but you are not vey good for productivity. So instead to take up the free time between events my family members were planning for the brief time we were back together I decided to try to paint something mindless and still beneficial.<br />
<br />
For some reason I always go back to head drawings when ever I want to paint who knows what because its something I never tire of painting and never get stressed about. Also painting hot chicks is fun. <br />
<br />
I had actually started this one some time ago but now with Illuxcon gone by, I wanted push myself interms of detail and what makes faces recognizable. This is image is a study of a photo I found on the internet but I hope to eventually bring this much detail to my other more creative works.<br />

Lately I've been realizing there are a lack of environment pieces in my portfolio So I sought to remdy that by painting this. It was an odd but productive experience in lighting and color. I think I learned a lot of over the course of painting it.</div>

With a slew of conventions and competitions coming up I thought it best to take some time and focus on my person al work and try to make my work the best it could be. <br />
<br />
With how much time I spent crying over it, shoving it in other peoples faces for advice while failing to be a normal human being that spoke and ate meals, I can confidently say that I learned..........I'll get back to you on that one. <br />
<br />
The only thing I can say for sure is that I hope you like it.<br />

Its been a while since I've done any sort of environment piece. Im glad how this one turned out. This is going to be the wrap around cover for the third novel in Richard L. Sanders's <i>Phoenix</i> series. I had a lot of fun with it and it always a pleasure to work with Richard. :)</div>

The powers that be have decreed that I need some traditional work in my portfolio and that I should do more life drawing. So over the past week I've gone to life drawing sessions and done various sketches of different things. At one point I grabbed a mirror and starred at myself for several hours. It's the first time I've drawn with an actual pencil in months. It turned out to be a great learning experience.<br />
