Back from CTN!
There is nothing quit like CTN to help put you back in perspective guys. For those that don’t know CTNX ( Creative Talent Network Expo) is an animation convention held in Burbank, CA that features an extensive amount of talented artists and workshops geared primarily for animation. Would I particularly recommend going to all the…

The Next Level
Getting the chance to come out to California and intern as a sketch artist is a dream come true of mine. I get to work with talented, smart and youthful people while soaking in all there is to know about advertising for entertainment (which is the only advertising I ever wanted to know!). Though the…

Compositions
I’ve included a sheet full of composition studies from movies as well as a comp of my own. I made mine rather abstract but it was meant to feel like downtown L.A. or what I could remember of it in my brief visit. Also, yes that is Empire Strikes Back!! Greg Mitchell, Next program…

Stress Relief
I’m alone a lot during my usual day to day in order to achieve the artistic goals that I’ve set for myself. This unfortunately means I have a ton of time to dwell within my own head which…can be a bad thing. I’m usually a rather upbeat positive person but from time to time the…

Phone Life Paints 4
A couple more for you guys. These two were painted at Bethesda Park and Five Forks Trickum Park. I’ve made doing paintings from a life a daily habit not particularly to get better (though it’s fantastic for that) but just to have some time to myself outside. I like being outside. There is something that…

Hard Surface Metallics Study
A good friend of mine bluntly pointed out that my handling of hard surface metallics in my art is disgustingly bad. After reviewing my work I had no choice but to agree hahaha. I’ve never been one to immediately discredit another artist’s (or person’s) critique because most everyone has something you can learn from. I…

Interesting Places Pt.2
I’m back “one moe gain!” This time another installment of one the world’s most interesting places. I’ll use the original photo as reference and try my best to create a scene within that world. I went with the rainbow eucalyptus tress located in Australia and man….that’s some bizarro stuff! Greg Mitchell, Online Exploring will…
