Personal Quote: Good Luck, Have Fun
Working as a Manager in Whakatane, New Zealand, with aspirations of becoming a Comic Book Writer/ Penciler/ Colourer.... inbetween I Hitchhiking the lovely roads of NZ.
Interests
Been a while since I updated my journal.... not sure if there is really much point either, it sucks but I hardly ever read other people's journal's these days, I'm usually not on the computer long enough... or at least not on DA long enough, feel bad because I haven't put any art up in 10 months, so it just makes me feel down being on here looking at all this awesome stuff and I'm hardly ever contributing to it :) :/

Anyway, since my last update I've done a bit of stuff.... art and life wise. I'm currently in the states, right now, on the free computer in the basement of a HI Hostel in Baltimore to be exact. Came here 2 days ago so that I could go to the Baltimore City Comic Con, was great, met a whole lot of great Artists and Writers, went to a bunch of panels; some of which I'm sorry to say I was falling asleep in, SORRY! I was really tired, wanted to listen to everything but I'm just so fatigued.

Today just before the 'Image United' panel started, I had a little conversation with Robert Kirkman at the front stage on the mic, was cool, we just talked about nothing, apparently his beard has never been itchy, which I am very jealous of. This little chat ended with me being told to stop by his booth, which I did, and was given a 1-in-100 limited edition variant cover version of his new comic series being drawn by *WyA and inked by Todd McFarlane, very cool.

Also purchased a few awesome pieces of art one by the great ~JasonHoward; which, when I get home and setup, will be scanning and doing my best at colouring. Speaking of pieces of art I bought, [link] is now mine.

Been in America since mid-June, playing Lifeguard at the Henry Kaufman Campgrounds in Pearl River, just outside New York. That was a lot of fun, met some great people and drew a whole bunch of pictures.... well.... not that many, but a few, many more to be done when I get home. After being a lifeguard, went to DeKalb, just outside Chicago and caught up with my sisters, during my stay there I packed up and went to Seattle for a week to attend the Penny Arcade Expo, which was awesome, had a chance to play Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Brutal Legend, Saboteur, Hack/Slash and a bunch of other neat games that haven't come out yet.

So, I'm only in America for 5 days, which is great, except that 3.5 of those days I'm on a bus headed for LA.... Really, REALLY should have chosen the Plane option. When I get back to NZ I'll be in Auckland for 9 days, during which I'll be attending Armageddon, so that'll be fun....


anyhow..... I guess this was just a quick update, I'll see about getting some art up in a few weeks, till then, enjoy :)

You got a few nice pieces. I particularly like "project crataus 2 almost done", "logo crataus art" and "empty soal".

I think your stuff would really improve if you take some advice that I myself have been given in the past and am still working on, and it's, 'Slow down to speed up'. Basically, think your pieces through, learn how forms, anatomy, shadows/ lighting work then go from there. But you definitely have the beginnings of a good range of art.
