Go see a Christmas Carol!

I am not really one to brag but since I barley had a hand in this film I feel more like I am just talking from an outside perspective. This movie is a huge feet given it has been created in around a year, crazy crazy s&$t! I wanted to say that because I think that is one of the most amazing facts about the film the general public might never know. I won't bore anyone with the details but this movie has amazing palettes and is delightfully dark, not the average Disney movie. I think it will be a very pleasant surprise for most.

Oh yea just to clarify I did not have a hand in any of these images, but I am proud to get my start in film on a project like this.

Yet another study...

Yet another study. I think I like these so much because you can just totally zone out and play with shapes, lighting, and color. I found this picture the other week and thought it was great. So many medical photos people look so depressed, but this dudes just loving life. Not to mention sweet robot arms!

Oh yea how come every time I post it lightens my darks and desaturates it a bit. I hate changes the levels every time I finish something. Does anyone else run into this?

Still life.

Spent some more time on this still life. I think it's pretty much finished but might play with the lighting and color a bit more. I might take a stab at this in oils. Would like to thinley mass it in then play up the colors with washes. It has been a while since I have painted anything traditionally and never really have worked with washes so this should be fun. I am hoping to finish it for a gallery show next month, we'll see? Crits welcome!

New Study....

Hey Guys, Haven't updated in a while. Here is yet another study. IMD is having an art Gallery soon so I have been working on a couple studies for the show. Thought it would be cool to do some fun studies then get them printed on some nice canvas then stretch them over a frame?
We'll see.

2 posts in one day?

2 posts in one day? Sure why not. Just finished this dude. Have been working on this over the last few weeks 5 minutes here 10 minutes there. Done! I am really liking these quick studies. I feel or maybe hope that my colors and lighting are coming further along.

New Job!

Hey Guys, Haven't updated in a while. Since I last posted I have been fortunate enough to get a job at Image Movers Digital. My life long goal has been to work on feature films so I am pretty happy to say the least. I am a production assistant in the art department. Everyone here has been great and are very willing to answer any questions. We are wrapping on A Christmas Carol right now. I think it might be a pleasant surprise. The shots look pretty great, so go see it when it comes out! More to come. In the mean time here is a quick study I have done.

Guest spot....

So no one else might care but I am pretty excited that a new art site (www.cgartist.org) has featured me on the front page! There is talk of the site producing a magazine which I might be in also, stay tuned :)
