I thought I'd put some basic info up here

1. Thanks so much for all of the comments... on everything! I really do read them all, and I wish I had enough time to respond to each of them.

2. The best way to reach me is by e-mail, however, some still gets lost as spam. If you don't hear back from me in a couple of days, please try again.

3. I'm not taking commissions or doing jobs - just way too busy with work right now. Sorry! (Unless it pays really, really well )

4. If you want to use something that I've already made, just ask.

I think that's it. Thanks for stoppin by!

Ugh, spam attack here! Sorry for the unsightliness of it all. Not sure if it's being fixed or not...

Sorry the art updates have been few and far between lately. I've gotten a job that takes up a lot of my time. I just don't have the ability to be as productive as I once was. Not that I was ever that productive...

The best way to reach me is by e-mail. I check every few days or so. Yeah, it's essentially snail-mail. I'm not currently doing commissions or any jobs, but I can always answer questions about anything.

Thanks for all the comments! I really read every single one.

In Florida! Yep.

I really need a scanner - not having one is not very fun. And this is a very boring journal update

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's see. Updates....

Finished that dissertation, so now I have a PhD Still trying to find time to draw and mostly failing. Not much else to say.

Here's an updated link to my coloring tutorial in case the links go down in the original: [link]

More method stuff (since I get asked a lot about it):

For things that are eventually colored in Photoshop, I use Bristol paper with a little bit of texture - I like it because it's thick and I can erase again and again without doing too much damage. For inking, I use Koh-i-Noor rapidographs with waterproof India ink (black), though you could get the same look with various sizes of Micron pens much more cheaply. Then I scan, clean up, and color in Photoshop. For that cool 'fake' watercolor look, I use a texture overlay. You can find some really nice free textures here: [link] They're really fun to experiment with.
