State of the Artist 8/5/2013

View halloo, all!

It's another soggy Monday here on Planet Kit, but it's time for another State of the Artist update, so let's get started! :)


Weekly Words

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.

- Charles Haddon Spurgeon, 1834 - 1892



Current Project

I'm working on a series of three abstract acrylic paintings for an upcoming project that has me so ridiculously excited, it's kind of crazy. But, I've got a good momentum going and I'm making pretty good progress. My client has plans for this project, so there will be no WIP photos of the paintings until I get the release from them, but I thought I'd post my preliminary palettes.

I'm at the canvas "staining" stage right now, laying down color to get the preliminary tones in, if not the values.

One plate for each canvas (my tools are very high-tech, you know.):



But, I have been doodling a bit while waiting for paint to dry (which, like the saying goes, is NOT much fun to watch... go figure,) so I thought I'd include them here!



They're not related to any project or plan, just random doodles concepts.

Near Future

The weekend of August 16-18th, I will be manning an AA table at AFO in Orlando, FL. If you'll be attending, come stop by and say hi!

Still waiting for news about an AA table at NYCC, but I will definitely post here if and when I hear, for anyone who might be attending!

Today is the last day to vote in the DC comics poll from last week's State of the Artist post. If you haven't cast your vote, I'd appreciate a moment of your time:

Please vote here!


Well, I think that's all for this week's State of the Artist update here on Planet Kit.
