Digital Art & Illustration 05: Focus on Aaron Alexovich.
Indie artists have long since caught onto the fact that online distribution for a niche title or genre is a far more effective compared to traditional (and expensive) distribution channels. Not only that, but the appetite for indie titles…

Far from frequent.
It has been nearly three months since I have last posted on my blog, and while traffic has not slowed much, I am starting to feel irresponsible for neglecting my site for so long. So for those of you who have been e-mailing me about feature reque…

I developed these caricatures as little icons that I could use in place of MSN pictures or avatars on various sites. I don’t really like to use photos of myself, and there are times I just want something that’s a little expressiv…

Digital Art & Illustration 04: Focus on Dean Holden
Rather than lamenting over the many days (read: weeks) since my last posting, I’m going to gloss over all of that and summarize it by simply saying: “I was busy. Very busy.”
With that aside, I wanted to pick up where I left o…

Digital Art & Illustration 03: Focus on Diane Özdamar
Though I am far from being considered an art critic, and knowing there is obviously much to be appreciated when it comes to classical painting, I speak merely from the perspective of one who simply appreciates.
Diane Özdama is a 21 year old art student from “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris”, and one might imagine that living in a country arguably considered one of the most romantic places in the world, is a wonderful feeding ground for an already rich imagination.

Photoshop Brushes
It has gotten to the point where I had to do some early spring cleaning in order to make room for more. In the process, I discovered some forgotten items that I think many of you will find quite useful. So, as I have said, I will offer some of these u…

Digital Art & Illustration 02: Focus on Linda Bergkvist
There is an underlying mythology to Linda Bergkvist’s work that is quite apparent when you troll through her galleries. It is a spark of wonder, horror, curiosity or cold indifference that pulls you into each of her pieces. Her paint…

Digital Art & Illustration 01: Focus on Marc Burnet
I draw my inspiration for both writing and design from a number of different sources on and offline. One thing I particularly enjoy is CG art; I used to paint a lot (Oils, Acrylics, Gouache, etc.), and it was a great way to exorcise some of the id…

American Fear Clothing
You still see it when you walk down the street or ride the bus in the morning or even in the occasional photo in Time magazine – you know, those guys (and the occasional “ladies”) with the burnt-out 80’s rocker-wann…
