I spent about an hour driving on Big Bend yesterday so I started on this tacky landscape and got about this far before Stephanie took over…

See if you can spot the difference!

Winter Stephanie

January 11th, 2010 · Uncategorized

Stephanie got me Corel Painter a while back, but I just finally got a laptop that can handle it without pausing 20 seconds between every brushstroke. It's pretty fun, but there are a LOT of options for media/brushes. Too many. They should make graphics software like video games and make you unlock everything one at a time. No gradients till you beat the Pen Tool level! Also, when you think you've finished it, you should have to play the whole thing again, but upside-down! That one's free Adobe.

Dead Fly Art

October 19th, 2009 · Uncategorized

One time, when I was living with Don, he found a dead cockroach on his desk and proceeded to drag me in to help make a crime scene, with chalk outline and yellow tape if I remember correctly. I should see if he has any pics. Anyway, I was just reminded by these charming little dead fly cartoons. More at TheChive.com

Eastwood and Frazetta

October 18th, 2009 · Kickass Artists

What a great picture. Taken moments before they wrestled a bear and saved America from a Nazi invasion.

Frazetta and Clint Eastwood

Frazetta’s kind of the cliche of fantasy illustration, but I love him.

I got into him after I realized Sam Kieth was ripping him off.

Don’t get me wrong, he obviously added his own thing to the style. I hope to someday rip off Sam Kieth half as well as he’s ripped off Frazetta.

Sadly, there’s a reason that there monkey’s beatboxing from inside a car engine. It’s an ad for motor oil.
