New Work in Progress

I have a new digital painting that I am working on.  I thought I’d share it with you here and get a little feedback.
Keep in mind this is a much smaller version of the full file size.  Just enough to show you what I am working with. 
I don’t usually name works before I finish […]

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 […]

Should the Artist be concerned about Money?

I’ve dealt with this topic before, but I am always challenged by it.
Art is one of those things that requires a certain amount of money to make money in.  I, of all people, wish canvases were given away for free down on the street corner.  Actually, I think they should be, along with a […]

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 […]

What makes the Artist famous?

I’ve been reading some interesting articles lately about art and artists who are being represented in various places. 
I have come to the conclusion that art doesn’t necessarily have to be good (as per my opinion) to be worthwhile or to make the artist famous.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti (See link) creates work that I would classify as […]

Vandal Artist makes a case.

Rindy Sam probably doesn’t stand a chance in court but I must confess a blank canvas looks pretty inviting to me as well.
Artist Cy Twombly’s work was on display in Avignon in southern France when Rindy Sam was overcome with emotion and decided to express herself on this white canvas.
Being that it’s absolutely white must […]

Some Recent Projects

Lately, I’ve been working on a few random projects of my own.  Most of these are more experimental in nature for my own benefit… but still, I’ll share.  ;)

Also, I’ve been thinking about putting together a series of "color schemes" for web and digital work.
I know there are a lot of those out there already, […]

Resisting the Urge to Write about Halo 3 - Game Art

Okay, I’ve been playing Halo3 for the last hour or so and am stunned by the graphics.  They even outdid Oblivion’s graphics.  And so at this point I am resisting the urge that I am sure many other bloggers are writing about, the game art, the graphics, the real time physics implementation, etc. 
Let’s suffice […]

Artist Blog or Blogger Artist?

Okay, so you are an artist and you have a blog.  Great. 
I recently read an article that references blogs as a great way to maximize the exposure of your artwork.  While this is true, there are several very different ideologies about art blogs that must be considered before you embark on your own little […]
