It's a rather soggy Monday here on Planet Kit, and it's a bit late (but it's still Monday) so it's time for a State of the Artist update!
Weekly Words
Writing is a socially acceptable form of getting naked in public.
-Paulo Coelho (1947- )
This is true for all the creative endeavors, really. Regardless of the medium, as a creator, you infuse every project with a part of yourself. Some are titillating glimpses of what lies within, while others are gut-wrenching expositions that put it all out there. Either way, we expose ourselves to the world, accepted or rejected.
Current Project
A few weeks ago, I had posted a poll for all of you to chose which of the DC heroes poses would be turned into completed images for upcoming conventions. Thank you very much to everyone who took the time to vote, it is much appreciated!
Well, the winners were tallied and the lineart, complete with Art Nouveau frames, and are ready for posting! If people would like to see these as they progress, please let me know in the comments!

Near Future
Coming up mid-month, I'll be appearing at PalmCon in West Palm Beach, FL on September 21, 2013.
In October, I'll be sharing a table with MCA Hogarth at Necronomicon in Tampa, FL from October 18-20, 2013.
Next week will see the start of the WIP postings of the latest batch of abstract acrylics completed for author MCA Hogarth to be used as covers for her Jokka trilogy. It's so very exciting to see these completed paintings as shiny, in-print book covers!
If there is interested expressed, there will also be forthcoming WIP pics of the Superhero Nouveau series as it progresses. Right now, the 4 pencils pictures above are the only ones in progress, but Marvel comics' Storm, Wolverine, and Gambit are next on the drawing board to be followed by Batwoman, Supergirl, and Jean Grey... with the likely additions of the 4 Robins together (Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, Robin) and Captain Marvel [Carol Danvers] and Wiccan & Hulkling.)
I'm still taking suggestions for more heroes (to be done either as individuals or teams,) I might start doing villains if there is enough interest, too... if so, Joker and Harley Quinn are definitely on the list!
Well, I think that's all for this week's State of the Artist update here on Planet Kit.
I thank you for joining me again this week! Feedback is the food which fuels the creative discussion between Artist and Audience, please, feel free to comment or leave suggestions for new projects!
Feel free to post links to this journal/community if you feel there might be interest in my artwork!
