No Sleep, Coffee, and Some Life Drawing.

I have been quite the insomniac. Oh well, I enjoy being up when the rest of the world is sleeping.

Lots of exciting stuff going on! And I have finally got out of my artistic funk. It's time to start kickin' some booty (with art, of course).

For your viewing pleasure, here are some recent gestures and life drawings I did this past week. Practice makes perfect! And I need a lot of practice. Lots and lots and lots.

That's all folks!

I am a GRADUATE! Time to start posting in my blog.

Hey everyone! After taking a week off, I am proud to announce as of last Thursday I am a graduate with a Media Arts and Animation degree! Yay! Every graduating class also has a portfolio review show, which I attended and participated.You dig my display?

The journey has been a long one....really only time will tell where I am going from here. I have a bunch of options....details when everything is finalized.

Below is the reel I graduated with. It needs a lot of updating in my opinion, but for now please feel free to look at my work and leave any advice, critiques, or constructive criticism.

Hopefully, I will have a bunch of new work up soon (or at least works in progress....). Keep checking back, I promise it will be worth it!

First Blog Post

This is my soon to be new art blog. I will hopefully have everything up and running very, very soon with lots of important and neat-o stuff to show everyone. Thanks for your patience!
