Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking about compiling some commission pin-ups into a little sketchbook to sell at conventions. It would be a good way to have my best new work all put together into a package for both fans and publishers to check out.
What do you guys/gals at deviantArt think?
Would you be interested in purchasing a 6" x 8" (standard con sketchbook size - probably 28-32 pages) nicely reproduced booklet of my work? Most artists charge around $10-$15 for these kinds of things, so I assume mine would be in that price range as well.
If it goes ahead, I'd also sell the sketchbooks here through my devArt site, though obviously it would be a bit more to cover envelopes and shipping.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks.

Thank you
Hey guys. I just wanted to send everyone a big thank you for all the kind words, well wishes and support that has been sent my way. Some of you even shared similar stories with me that were tough to read. Its hard to know what to say to someone who's lost a loved one and it's hard to know what to say when someone gives you their best. I've been overwhelmed by the response to my "Patricia" post. It means a lot to me that people have taken the time to send a kind word my way so many, many thanks to all of you. Nothing was more important to me than my mom and it's been really tough, but everyone's thoughts has helped I think. You guys dont need
Tools of the Trade
Hey guys. I figured I'd go ahead and do a FAQ journal entry. Just a basic list of the tools I'm currently using for my marker work. I have a new tutorial for my markers that I'll post when I'm able to share the art I used for the progress shots. Feel free to fire away with any questions and hopefully, this can be a go to guide for basic info on my tools. I'm not going to talk about oil painting materials as I'm still figuring all that out and I doubt an answer I give today will hold up in the future.
Ok Here goes...
Markers: Prismacolor Cool and French grey markers. I think "Copic" has become another word for "marker" these days, so it's as
Sorry about that
My apologies to the kind folks who left comments on my most recent gallery update. I was asked to remove it. NDAs and whatnot. I did read everyone's comments before taking it down and I appreciate it.
Thanks!
Devious Journal Entry
That doesn't look right. Something off about her eyebrows. No...maybe it's her forehead. Nope...it's her hairline. Gotta be. It's too low. Or too high maybe. CRAP! Something's off, but I cant figure out what. You know...it could be her jaw line. Too wide. Nope. Now it's too narrow and her face looks long. Put that back, but the chins definitely too big. Makes her look manish. Yeah, that's it..that's working! But...now her mouth looks a little weird. The lips are too big or something. Damn it, why did I try to make her smiling? I can never get that to look right. But she needs to be smiling..it works for the piece. You know what, fuck it I'm s
