there are things happening in detroit!!

i finally got my wacom tablet in the other day. i am loving it, its even bigger then the last one that i  had! ive been having fun getting used to using it, messing with some old work, and working on some digital portraits for my pals and family. tattooing is coming along great. and im getting really really excited about moving to portland. my website is almost done.

so...progress....

i realize i am posting different versions of the same basic thing...over, and over, and over again. but hey....seeing the development is good right? here are the final layouts for Maudies Closet. As well as other nonsense. 

I am putting up my website this week, and hope to put out my resume by the next week. I need to get something lined up before I move to Portland. But I figure that I will have a better ahcnae of getting a job out there, if I already live there.

Alright. PS. Brian Boardman is the greatest web designer ever.

I need a wacom tablet. desperately.

So, the apprenticeship at BABYDOLLS TATOOS is going great, though I have decided officially to move to Portland.  Its a ridiculous move.  But I think I am up for the challenge, plus there are some great studios and creative companies out that way....and there is nothing here for me in Detroit.  Here is some more of the stuff that I have been doing. The last post involved some flying elephants and hula pin up, I really want to finish those digitally, along with some zombie pin ups 

I have been working on, but apparently it is going to take longer than expected.  I am working 45 hours a week to save up money to go.  But I still have to find time to put up my website, and get my portfolio finalized.  My resume is going to be posted soon.

Wish me luck...and let me know if you want a tattoo, its really fun to do.

Posting some new and old work. Random.

So school is finished! i am officially a graduate of the College for Creative Studies in Detroit MI! There are a lot of really exciting thing going on right now.  I have started tattooing alot.  I got a great apprenticeship at BABYDOLLS in Taylor MI.  While that is all getting underway, I have also picked up some freelance work with Thunderbean Animation, with Steve Stanchfield, it should be some good stuff to put on my reel.

Big NEWS!:: I am moving to Portland Oregon in August. I am definitely excited about the whole thing and I really want a job at Laika, but we will see where I end up.

anywho, as promised, here is some work.

graduation is looming in my future.

i think we are all freaking out right now.

no seriously though, I love CCS. its really has been a great experience. I will be posting my final senior work shortly.

New Work Continued.

More work in Illustrator.

Graduation!

So im on the move again, busy as hell and actually feeling productive. Ive had a new art flame lit under my butt, and Im getting productive as heck. I hit a snag for a mionute there, but started some new projects just long enough to get excited about my senior project again. Im feeling good about getting it done and actually graduating. Once it is finished I will be posting it.

As always, here is the new work that I ahve been doing, as well as th first few tattoos that I have done. They were all great successes.
