Back into the swing of things

After Thanksgiving is usually the hardest, heck this whole end-of-the-year thing is hard to do because the days are so short and there's so many holidays that it's hard to get a momentum going. But here's my trying with not just one but THREE new images and it's going up for sale on my DA site (http://domnx.deviantart.com).

Doing a triptych is a difficult thing to do. It's not just taking an image and splitting it into three pieces. As any artist will tell you, you have to make sure each image works on its own (i.e. color, composition, etc.) and then putting it together to see if it works as a whole.


I'm also trying to get my website up-to-date. No problem there since I didn't do much this past year. But I'm trying. Baby steps.

Modernized propaganda

I was featured at neatorama.com for 15 Great Modernized Propaganda posters...check it out! I did.

What Would Magneto Do?

Because of the new X-Men movie, where we see a young Professor X and Magneto meet, I created a propaganda piece showcasing the X-Men's first villain...

Texicon

This is part 2 of a Texicon triptych that the client wanted done. It's for their annual Roleplaying/miniatures convention in Forth Worth, Texas. It came it better than I expected.


Similar to last year's color scheme and layout. Two down, one more to go...

Thanks to the buyers

It's really cool when buyers of my posters send me pics of their room when they buy my posters. Here's one from Malmö, Sweden:


and another from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK:

San Diego

I'm kinda bummed because I missed this year's San Diego Comic-con. And yet, I feel kinda relieved. It's my first that I've missed in about 15 years, probably due to money issues and the recession, but also because it's grown into such a hype-filled extravaganza that doesn't even resemble what it was just 5 years ago. I'm sure the people who run the whole deal love it, but as a true comic fan, it sucks. Those of you in the know, know what I'm talking about. The pushing of actual comic vendors and artists out of the spotlight and into 'back alleys' so that room for Hollywood types can do their thing blows chunks.

What's worse is the crowds of non-fans coming in to share my personal space. Really Miss Twilight fan? Do I need to hear your screaming voice about how Robbie Patterson or some shit is coming? No. Will the whole scene change soon? Probably not as well. One thing that the comic con culture has spawned are more conventions, i.e. ones in L.A., Long Beach and Anaheim. These are still in its infancy and are probably closer in feel to those of years goneby. But give it a few years, I guess.

I know I probably sound like an old fogey complaining about beef prices when I was young, but that's the way it is. I'm sure in about 10 years, you readers will be the same way.

Just my 2¢.
