ONE THAT GOT AWAY.


I find that sometimes the art just gets away from you. This is a painting that I worked for probably like an hour and it just got away from me. There was one point where it was okay, but it wasn't up to snuff so I kept going, and going, and going, and voila! it's "Gone!" Yup, it's going in the trash, but I have no regrets. It was fun and challenging and a great exercise wrestling with this one, with the colors, the brushes, the canvas... all told, it was a good workout! It got away from me, but maybe YOU can catch it!

And just cause It was in the previous post...

Here's my latest painting in progress...

CURSE OF THE PHARAOHS Neat Stuff!

Just got Mark Rudolph's latest comic. Full color, premium format... I'm liking how he presents his work. Having a limited artist edition run available where you get his comic AND a full inked original sketch is a good idea. He really gets me thinking how we as creator/publishers can make product as inexpensive as possible so as to pass the low cost down to customers, OR make product higher quality and price accordingly and PRODUCE accordingly (with an obviously lower print run). Thanks for the Cool comic, sketch AND food for thought buddy!

Man, I dig that heavy cardboard envelope, great way to store the book.



And as always, beautiful deep rich color and a wonderful ink sketch! NICELY DONE Mark!
