more good news,

I went to the tattoo shop last night and talked to the owner Jim. He told me if i put up their we web page they ll teach me how to tattoo . woo hoo!! for a while i was worry thinking that i can't afford to pay for it, but now all i need to do is that. so i m set, at least for a while.
the medical illustration company have several books already lined up and needing someone to illustrate for. so definately they re still a tone of job to be done. 5 more book plus this one i m workign on = to about 120 drawings, it would be so sweet to have those under my belt and have the book on my hand to show. its going to be busy next couple of months. but it ll be exciting at least i m getting paid for it. hehe, its about time.

woo hoo!!

i got the job, and possibility of more work. they really like my work, and i don't have to sale my rights to the images to them. so , in the long run, i can resale it to other publisher. the only requirement is tha i have to make minor changes to each images just so it doesn't look the same and fortunately there s a good demand for med illustration.

in other news,
I really want to go sign up for tattoo apprenticeship, but most of my money will be spent on moving expenses and rent for the new place. shit...maybe i can bag them take me in ....sigh,

Cheers!!!!

preliminary drawing

not sure if i should be posting client work here. but what th heck this might be the last time i post paid work here though.

well know this week or next wheather we get it or not, this took me about 8 hours - 1 hour text labeling and cleaning up time. it was very hard to come up with someting totally original. i used several photo of acutal model and photos and other artist drawing as a ref.

gettign started

a test render for possible client, if they like it we may get the job, would be nice to have my work publish in a medical book. spend about 3 .5 hours on it so far, i will limit it to only 7-8 hours, that way i can make at least 18-20 an hour. lots of stuff to come, fun stuff.

computer down again :(

damn computer , alway running into issue, fortunately i fixed it. i m workign on some medical drawign for the next couple of days, urinary system, will post sometime this week, tomorrow and sunday i get to go work at the festival as curricalature artist again, last time i had a blast. hopefully it won't rain. we found a few new places to moved to , and i may get marry <<-- yah,i know.

all at ones

a design for something something , i must research this art style,:punk, tattoo, army, vintage, and rock and roll, if anyone is fimilar with this style please feel free to point me into the right direction.

life is weird, sometime bad thing seems to snow ball (i think that s how the sayign goes), other time its the total opposite. things are looking good. I went to a tattoo shop and they love my drawings and will working with me to get me going. my only problems is that i do not have a home to come to, as of right now i m staying with a friend. we will be getting a new place together next month so i decided to wait until then. that way i know for sure that i m obligated to stay, i want to stay at least till the apprenticeship is over then i will go where ever the wind takes me :)

Busy Bee

a quick touch up of my picture, took out all the black spots and blumishes , reduced my nose a bit, recolord my eye, took out the mustach, evened out my chine a bit. removed scars.

sorry everyone, been busy as of late, unfortunately it is not art related.
My friend might be getting a job at this local architecture place, he's going in for his second interview sometiem this week. If he gets in, he ll have no problems getting in as well, yeahhh! for friends.
I had an interview today as well for photo touch up position. wish me luck, looks like i may or may not get it but it went good. simple stuff really, but since i dont really have any real portfolio to show, it might not go though, the guy seemed very nice and i answered all the questions he asked about Photoshop. the pay is decent and i get to touch up beautiful picture of woman all day long.

this weeek i will finally go and sign up for an apprenticeship at local shop,

Need to find a new place to live, at least for another year, Me Jay and Juan will be rooming together.

I am thinking of taking at least 2 classes a semester, that way i can push my loans repayment back for a long time, i was thinking of trying for RN again. I was so close to gettting into the programt, only had 3-4 gen ed and core classes before i get accepted into the program. doh!!! the only bad thing is that , since i took the classes so long ago, i may have to retake it again. :( ..but oh well, that might be along tearm goal, get my RN (yes, you read it right, Register Nurse) by the time i turn 40 or something.

so , tattoo, drawing, 3d houses, RN

finally figured out somethign neat about Vray, it turns out that i can do distrubute rendering on the net work after all, if i can get it to run properly with in the next couple of day, i may get back to doing more 3d houses for fun and for preparing for the possible job with my friend. who know. tatoos, are going great, i got my colors set the other day and am testign it out on DAwg, discovered many new tricks the other night, I was able to color a huge area in a short time. yeah to learning, until next time, i hope eveyone is doing well.

added a link to one of my buddy's site, check it out, his name is Zabu , you ll love his work, awesome stuff.

House 2d

house color test, although it may look easy, lighting an entire seen so that it look uniforms are extremely hard, this drawings hurt my brains for days , but i learned alot, especially how to make mix colors, and smoothting out key parts.

Back!!
