Keepin' That Pencil Busy

I don't post here as often as I should...I know, its a shame. But just because I don't post here doesn't mean that I'm not keepin' that pencil busy...far from it!! I guess I just save up stuff to have an art dump whenever I do actually get around to posting. Maybe...

With that said...ART DUMP!!

A quick pic of Batgirl overlooking Gotham:

And the rest of these are from Redux Deluxe. This was part of a 4 page Halloween ministory. I don't think many people saw it (many people don't see Redux Deluxe anyways...)





I wish I could get more people to read and actually see Redux Deluxe...but I think that will always be an ongoing struggle. I wish I could say its been easy to keep the pencil busy, but it hasn't been. Me trying to be creative is a constant battle unfortunately.

Striving to be Better

The life of an artist is hard. Its not like you can just sit down some days and force something out...well, at least, thats not how I work. It's a constant struggle...trying to stay motivated, especially when the odds are always stacked against you to sort of 'break into' the world that you keep looking at from the outside in. I would love to call myself a professional illustrator/graphic designer or whatever else mantle, but that's far from where I am right now. So for now, I've chosen to forget labels and just practice, practice and practice some more.

Me taking a 6 year hiatus from art really put me back a whole lot, but sometimes the break is needed. When I came back, I was rusty, and not where I was when I was doing it more often. And earlier when I lost my drive to do anything art related, I really didn't know when I was going to pick a pencil up to draw again, if ever. But that last break is what I needed, and it really pushed me to be better...and you can definitely see that in my artwork. But I should let it speak for itself...













What a difference some time off and practice makes, huh?
