I needed more graphic design

Some rat died in my studio and it smelled so bad I couldn't do art for a while. True story. But today its better. I was playing around with something and it ended up looking like a band poster so I made up some band so I have some graphic design to show if anyone asks. I'm desperate to find some type of style I stick to and I don't know if I really have one yet. Even still.





Although I finished and realized its kind of unmarketable but whatevs. I was bored.

I don't know which one I like more, actually. And I'm thinking, it might help me if I do a bunch of these 'band/movie posters' just to make some portfolio I can actually show.

working on a creepy house concept. I don't know if I like this one. I think I'm going to take out the chick in the front and move that staircase, deos anyone have ideas?

The last time I printed out this yellow it came out this sweet neon green. Hopefully it'll happen again. If not I guess I'm ok with yellow.

But I still love Chevy's

Just when I was starting to feel OK about my height, I got mortified at our family's favorite restaurant.



I mean, I'm only 23 and that guy was 5 years younger than me. But apparently no matter what I wear or do I will always be about 6 years old. At least to Chevy's.



The latest landscape. I'm starting to get these cloud thingies.

I have no idea if I'm improving. I'm getting faster, at least.

I went through some pretty ugly landscapes before I landed this one. Kind of funny how you think your getting better then you get a lot worse before you get better again.

Did that make sense?

todays landscape...

Yesterdays went so bad I didn't post it. but here's todays. I'm working on clouds. Again, I've no idea who took this photo but it helped give me great practice so I don't take credit for the composition at all.


But I did paint a portrait. And I hated it. So I'm not posting it. I'm not good at painting realistic things with Painter, and parts of me are like "why are you learning how to paint digitally when you already know how to do it by hand again?"

Man, the only problem with getting in a rut and stopping what your doing to 'discover what you like' is that you end up worlds behind where you should be. Maybe its a good thing I can't get a job and I have so much time to do all these studies?

Whats really funny is that I also have all the time in the world and my social life just dropped a lot. This would be a huge problem if I still wanted to date. But I'm quite lucky, yousee, because I'm so sick of relationships that I don't mind spending a lot of my time with my tablet and the end of the garden's tomato crop. Otherwise this might be a huge depressing problem.

PS, saw Nine and I didn't like it. Its like watching a video game: Not rendered to movie quality, the storyline was quick and choppy, no depth to the characters, but at least the character design was spot on.
