A whole damn day of photography in the sun and snow! And it's the middle of July in the great states!

Summer is best when you can throw snowballs at each other from the top of a volcano, and then go swimming at the beach in the same day.

But alas... on to my point.

I've noticed a trend in my photography, rather, a lack there-of. My photography is scattered. I do a bit of everything it seems and in so many different colors and styles and hues and just generally, encompass as much as I can.

Must be because I'm a fledgling photog, playing with the Manual mode on my camera to get things to look flat out fabulous. I notice a lot of photographers are only really good at one thing, or they specialize in one thing and never ever deviate away from it. Is it because they get complacent or comfortable? Do they get stuck on a style and their creativity goes out the window?

I'm a little confused after all.

I love doing new things with my camera. There's always something new to shoot. Not just urban sprawl, models or landscapes. I find beauty in everything.

Man, what I would give to go to every nook and cranny in the world and find everything and take a picture of it.

Can you blame me?

Oh well, there's more to come with my photography. I'm beating the snot out of my shutter with all the snapping I'm doing. Stitching together 45 shot panorama's that take 2 hours to complete is just way too much fun for it's own good.

I guess that's it!

See you next time!

Hello Deviants!

I've got new stuff coming in the near future.

- A compendium of scenic photography since I've been playing with a DSLR.
- Model shots, because my girlfriend enjoys taking pictures of me, and I'm just that sexy.
- Illustrations and Drawings. Various works I've had sketched out that I haven't quite uploaded yet.
- Nefarious S.; My Scooby-Doo dark parody where everything's twisted and wrong from the original series.
- Nude/Glamour shots of a few models who have agreed to do shoots with me.
- Animation!!! I've been working my butt off on a big project. Practicing timing, perspective, natural movement. I hope I impress!
- Model painting (D&D Miniatures)

Well, there is more, but nothing too significant to list.

Enjoy!

My Art Sucks?!

2 min read
Alright alright! So maybe I haven't updated this thing since February... So maybe I wasn't exactly "Back".

dA kinda took a backseat since I moved. Yup. I'm in the Pacific Northwest now. Seattle.

I'm going to the International Academy of Design and Technology in Seattle. I've been working on some new art. A lot of new art. I'm going to be scanning and updating this thing this week. For sure. I've been building a fairly decent portfolio recently and I think it's turning out great.

In class, I've erased everything I knew about drawing and started fresh. Started learning how to control, and seduce the pencil. Working greatly on human and animal anatomy now. I've incorporated a lot of my old style into my new habits I've picked up. Giving me and anime-esque appeal to my art... yet keeping it real.

Pretty much all of my hand-drawn stuff is going to get removed from the main gallery when I start uploading more. I feel ashamed of what I've drawn in the past... embarrassed by it almost. So, I'm scrapping it.

Hopefully, more of my stuff will be a little more pleasing to the eye... and not so... "blah."

More digital artwork is coming next quarter from school as I learn Adobe Photoshop, Maya and several other art programs.

Again, I'm working so my art isn't as Gaudy as it has been.

And I apologize severely for calling my other stuff "Art".

Hey everyone! I've been absent for a LOOOONG while. Trying to settle things. I'm moving to Seattle, WA here soon. I'm single still... but.. I've got a girl I met a girl named Taylor who lives there. She and I have hit it off well and I'm thinking we might be getting together hopefully.

As far as my art goes, I've been lax on drawing. Been too busy working and getting myself together for the move... I'll be spending over $5KUSD on the move alone... not counting what I'm paying for the house. But none-the-less... its a long awaited move to get away from stalkers and people who hate me here in NC... Sorry that you hated me, disliked me or whatever... but I wish we could've spent one last time together... You know who you are... and no, not Rebecca.

Maybe when I get over to the other place I'll be motivated to start more artwork. Until then, Sayonara!
