Draw the Goon contest

This week I found out that I won an art contest that I had submitted a piece too. It was this contest. The prizes for winning are awesome, especially the original sketch from Eric Powell himself. Stoked about that. Im also hoping that I'll get a bit of recognition from this and maybe land a few gigs out of it. High hopes, but fingers crossed. Heres the piece, enjoy!

Workin on this thing, tried a new way of working compared to my other method. So far so good I think.

Montreal comic con! Ooooooooo!

Hey fellas, heres some fellas!

old novel cover

Did this a few months back, forgot to post it. Books called Virgin Blood. had fun doin it, hoping to do more soon.

All done with this guy.

onwards

Hey guys, here's something I just finished up, finding small improvements one piece at a time, but still not where I need to be just yet.

So, I just want to take a quick second to thank all of you who have ever supported me in my goal of being an illustrator. I really really mean it. There are times where I just want to walk away and settle for some 9 to 5 job some place and not have to tread water all the time. It gets tough, the ups and downs that come with learning how to start out in this biz are nauseating. But its really helpful knowing I have an awesome and  supportive bunch of people who have my back throughout this beast of a journey.

I've met a lot of friends, both online and in real life throughout the last year of doing this. Most of them are trying to do exactly what I'm trying to do; survive off of the art they create. So just talking to them and sharing the journey with them really helps me feel like I'm not totally alone in the dark with this.

After leaving my job at Spielo in July of 2011, I made a goal for myself. It was to try and get some work from Wizards of The Coast by the time my birthday came around in 2012. Roughly a year to work on my chops and try and make a portfolio decent enough to capture their eye. Unfortunately, it didn't happen. My birthday was on the 7th of July and I still haven't gotten any work from WoTC.

I don't think its a failed run by any means.

I came into this thinking I already had what it took to land some decent work. What I didn't know at the time is I was thinking with my ego. The months that followed were me basically learning the hard way that I'm not hot shit and that I should sit down and get to work. It was similar to being the best artist at your home town high school, then going to a college in a big city some place, and realizing you aint nothin but a scrub in a world of scrubs. But its important to feel this. And I think ill still always be put in my place, especially as I continue to learn. You cant improve if you don't think you need to. The Ego blinds people. So feeling like shit after realizing your shit, is the first sign of growth as an artist. 

So, with that said, by the 7th of July 2013, my goal is to have gotten some work from Wizards of The Coast.

Cheers!

There, done. Officially living in Montreal now. so here we go!

going to be working on some character sheets, all kinds of themes and such, to try and get me a character artist gig or something.

we will see how it goes!

Oh, almost forgot, im in this months issue of Imagine FX, may 2012 issue. check it out, its old stuff but i thinks its pretty neat!

movins pretty easy.

So, im busy, moving is turning out to be a lot of work, and dealing with a lot of variables. especially when i can only be in one place at a time.

Anyways i wont bore you or myself with that stuff right now.

Havent been able to sit down for to long and draw much lately, for obvious reasons.

Heres all i got for now. Couple sketches, ill probably keep working on all of these to a finish. just will probably be later on though. sorry for the garbage.

Thats it for now, got a uhaul to pack.

smore

heres todays doodles. Gonna finish this one later next week. Heading to Montreal for a few days so wont be around to paint to much. So see ya in a few days!

doodles and news.

So, its official. im living in Montreal.

Well not at the moment, but i have an apartment there now, and will be fully moved out of my house by the end of April, probably even sooner. Exciting times!

lots of work still ahead, packing and driving back and forth from Montreal. going to be a tiring next couple of weeks. but like i said, im pumped for whats next!

heres two doodles from today.

peace.

:D

Had a bit of a break from working on shit. was needed, i easly lose myself into my own work, flaws, and bullshit that it quickly becomes the only thing i think about. so time to get away from that is very much helpful in the long run.

Also, moving to Montreal very shortly. In fact im going up with my GF to look at some apartments tomorrow and will be looking at them for the next 3 days. im pretty happy bout that. I really feel like this city will have something for me... and if not then we will just keep moving west haha!

Heres a dude standing, take care.
