Where did sexy go?
While on my colour high, watching Kung Fu Panda the other night has gotten me even more stoked about learning (more) about colout theory! That film was truley lush.
After doing this painting, im starting to see where i could hae improved my Pharrell attempt (...he looks too rubbery me thinks).
I'm gonna keep trying.

Hello...2008, the story thus far
Hi blogreader,
I thought i'd take the time out to share a little bit about whats been going on for myself so far in 2008.
So i've taken the gamble and travelled back to Vancouver after a great year in 2007; gamble as i only had a 1 month animation contract as a draw card.
I want to continue to grow as an artist, and as a person, and i thought the best way was to keep throwing myself at challenges and risks.
If you think there is something you would like to see on my blog, or things you could suggest about my art, please comment and construct!
A challenge that i have set for myself is to learn more about colour and painting. There seems to be a recent influx of great colour and painterly work that has just blown me away. And i've been listening to some very inspiring youtube tutorials by digital painters Bobby Chiu and Joe Bluhm.
I recomend for any artist to watch or atleast listen to this particular video by Bobby (aprx. 40min!) He talks about finding and rekindling that passion for art.

Hope we continue to inspire each other friend!

More Sneaker Stuff: Mooks Art Comp' (Sneakers)
+small.jpg)
'Mooks and Monster Children have teamed up to give promising artists everywhere this amazing opportunity have works displayed in Mooks Stores and score a two week exhibition at the Monster Children Gallery. '
The theme this month was 'Sneakers'. My piece is a take on the scene in Mission Impossible when Cruise was sneaking into that lab. Geddit? SNEAKING, SNEAKERS...SNEAKING SNEAKER? Yeah...well, that's pretty much it.
Also, the shoe that i chose to use in the image is the NIKE AIR MAX 90 'INFRA RED'. So i thought it would be cool to have some security radar beems added for effect.
Have to wait and see how my entry goes.
