State of the Artist for 9/26/2011

View halloo, peoples!


Ok, another week another post, right? So, let's get on with the State of the Artist update!


Weekly Words

The apple cannot be stuck back on the Tree of Knowledge; once we begin to see, we are doomed and challenged to seek the strength to see more, not less.
- Arthur Miller, 1915 - 2005



Current Project

So, I'm still working on a personal commission project and coming up against a hard and fast deadline. ACK!

Please remember this piece is still a work-in-progress, and due to the nature of the deadline coming up, will probably be the last scan I have of this portrait.





Nakeisha, I can only hope this portrait does you justice. I fervently hope and pray that your soul is now at peace after such a long struggle. I know all who knew you will remember you with joy in our hearts. Be at peace.

Mad Hatter
Completed: 8.2005



Another preliminary costume design from a few years ago, that, while a pain in the butt to actually make, was quite fun to wear! Unlike last week's Thera, this costume is actually fun and not too terribly dreadful in the FL summer heat... but, she was retired after a year.

That said, I need to get to designing something for next year's convention season!


Original: SOLD
Prints (giclee, 8x10"): $12

Near Future

Due to the past few weeks health and personal issues, my artwork will be missing from a number of conventions I usually send to. The next show I should have my artwork at is:

Necronomicon: Oct. 21-23rd, Tampa, FL


If you'll be in town, or attending the convention, do stop by and check out the Art Show!


So, that's all for this week's State of the Artist update! Not much, but it's been a rather trying month and I'm really just working to get this project done so I can clear the other commissions off my plate and get back to some personal projects and consideration for this year's Holiday Card!
