The INDIA Show at CHG..

hi there.. so here's the show from a month ago. Truly a big job but I learned so much. When I did my Natural History show 2 years ago I was really excited 'cause I thought, "Wow, a solo. Now I have an excuse to really learn this craft and do it 24/7." and that's exactly what happened.
On INDIA it really was another big step. The first couple of pieces I was feeling kinda rusty and a bit apprehensive that maybe I was taking on a subject that was beyond my skills but by the end I really got in a groove and on the last piece ( Rama Hanuman) I really felt like I had total brush control.
Seeing 'em all in one room (or on one internet page) is a bit crazy for me to see a year of my life in image form. Each painting brings a chunk of time back into my brain.
I'm developing the next two gallery shows right now and know what's most important is to not get rusty again and to keep painting.
I can't thank you all enough for your continued support but all I can do is promise the next two shows will be a progression of my skills and hopefully you want to take the ride with me. I'll let you know when the next show or event takes place.

ciao*

The Beatles Rock Band..

I'm currently obsessed with the animation for the new Rock Band (made by Pete Candeland at Passion Pictures). It's such simple animation but with so many great tricks your eye can't see the strings. Things like blurred focus, CG instruments and props, fast camera moves, quick cutting and gorgeous held drawings make this some of the best animation I've ever seen. The shame is that there isn't a feature in our near future in this style. I swear it could save 2D but I'm sure that money is currently being spent on the next CG feature based on a children's book with shrill celebrity voices.

maybe not?
