deCloned: creativity for life

I try not to do this kind of thing too much, but I have recently re-launched my personal blog with a new focus.
deCloned: creativity for life - utilizing your imagination in day to day living.
In writing here at Artist Hideout, I’ve found that my interests are more broad than just tackling art and creating art.  […]

Developing your own voice as an artist.

There are different stages most artists go through.  This is the one I am at right now and it’s pretty challenging.  I won’t say the most challenging, but still it’s pretty difficult.
The reason it’s difficult isn’t so much that as an artist you are untalented or unoriginal, it’s the fact that you know you have […]

I think lately, I’ve been looking forward to snow again.
Anyway, it’s been a theme for me lately.

Should the Artist be concerned about Money?

I’ve dealt with this topic before, but I am always challenged by it.

Coalition Comix - Help Create a Comic Book

MySpace has launched a new project called Coalition Comix, where users determine the storyline. 
It seems pretty basic but it’s a novel idea on getting people involved in the project.  More than a choose your own adventure book, users will apparently impact even the deepest parts of the storyline. 
Let’s just hope users don’t kill […]

Philip Craig: Time Lapse Large Oil Painting

This video was quite impressive.  It would be fun to work on this scale.  Imagine the detail you could incorporate into something like this.

How to (try to) understand Abstract Art.

This is a revisited comic based off of one I did last week on my personal (what is becoming my cartoon) site, www.decloned.com
Now I am not down on abstract art in any way.  Most of mine is abstract too.  I just think that as any kind of artist, we must come to the realization that […]

Free: Awesome (Crayon) Drawing Game

I found this via FreewareGenius.  Now, if you are looking for a simple interactive drawing game, this is it. 
Granted, you aren’t drawing anything more than simple shapes, but it’s still pretty fun. 
Check out the screenshots and download it here on the author’s site.
I’ve been playing this yesterday and really, really enjoyed the break […]

I just received this art submission from J. Reinartz along with this note:
Hello, A while ago I was really into digital art. I’m painting in oil pastels at the moment. I did a series of abstracts in addition to some digital art portraits I find the ability to layer images the […]
