ALASKA LANDSCAPE

Monday I started a new series of digital Studies based on landscapes,  This is the first stop I ended up with on Monday evening.  The water hasn't yet been filled in and very little in the way of detail has been made because this can be considered the 'underpainting' of this work.

Brand New Website!

Hello Everyone.  I would like to make the important announcement that my new website is up and running!  Studiospectre.com features a blog which is going to be a mirror of this one, so do not fear, my blogspot is by no means defunct!  Please head over to the website and feel free to give me some feedback!  Thanks.

Dragonfly, my fist digital painting.

I worked as a research assistant for the University of Kentucky during the summer of 2002 catching dragonfly larvae, among other things.  My summertime experiences there as a youth inspired this piece which happened to be my first full effort digital panting and also the first to be editioned, several times actually.  Prints are available.

More on this later including my artist statement, but for now read this great article by Tammy Lane!

Tribute to smaug the Dragon

I always loved the 1977 animated "The Hobbit" from Topcraft. I can't find many specific details on the creature design but the crew included Toru Hara, Tsuguyuki Kubo, Hidetoshi Kaneko and Kazuko Ito whose work you might recognize in Thudercats among others.

Speaking of cats, I really loved how many Tolkien creatures appear feline in nature in Arthur Rackham Jr's version of the Hobbit. Smaug especially resembles a cat, but still withholds certain reptilian features of a serpent or crocodilian head shape.

Custom Sketchbook

And this has been far too late in coming, the amizing Melissa Oesch of Reimagined by Luna created this swell custom sketchbook case for Studiospectre. I love it. Check out her website here. http://www.reimaginedonline.com/current/2011/7/14/custom-sketchbook-case.html

Pteranodon.

I drew a Pteranodon, ona cliff, in chalk pastels. I asked Charlie Campbell what color to make the Pterosaur, and he said purple. That's about it!
