Here it, the first full week of October '08. The world is full of nuttiness, and stress. But that's why I have this fun little page... Escapism! I'm going to be updating lot of crazy artistic stuff this week (God willing no goofy obstacles get in the way)-- both here, and on my website.I'm trying to squeeze in some traditional medium art as well, but it's so hard with my life schedule as it is. As most of you know-- computer art is a lot more convenient... No setting up camcorders, no mixing the mediums, NO CLEAN UP. But the true artist in me longs to do some good 'ole fashion traditional medium... But I have to be realistic-- I'm a family man, and also the "bread winner" in my house, I have to do what's most logical for survival. Someone commented recently on one of my vids about "selling out" by forgoing the traditional paint for the digital medium... I wish people would understand that the very same talent that creates the art traditionally is also being used 100% in the computer art as well. The computer is faster and more convenient... But it's still just another tool. It is completely manipulated by the artist that uses it. It lends NOTHING in the way of the conception of the image, other than it's tools. You can blend the colors easier and get smoother gradients than an acrylic painting. But the same is true with oils... But ultimately the cold hard facts are this: The industry for art jobs has swung mostly to digital. That's where the money is. Which is the bigger sellout-- foregoing food and shelter for my family so I can play with around with real paint, or foregoing playing around with real paint so I can work and feed my family?I also have a lot of frequently asked questions to address... But right now I'll address the top 2 most asked:The first one that people ask, is when am I going to put up some tutorials? The answer is "Soon". As some people know, I have been talking about "Technique DVD's" on my site. Those DVD's will most center around my own personally art philosophy and how my sense of logic and proportioning work when I do a painting/drawing. But for the techniques regarding how I utilize my digital software, I will be sharing those freely with the public both here and on my site. The second most asked question is; "Where's the music?" My videos are always silent, and people would like to hear some tunes... But I'm gonna have to say, sorry-- there will probably never be any tunes on my art vids. The truth is, I just don't have the time to go that extra mile in picking something. I have a hard enough time trying to find time to even put anything on youtube to begin with. I'm just not interested in putting sound on these vids. I'd like to think that the art would carry itself without any music, but I guess everyone has their preferences. I also like to avoid any copyright controversies. Being a professional, I do not want to cross that line where I might have a video removed due to use of someone's tune without their permission.Anyway-- keep checking back within the next few days--- I have a ton of stuff to add! I will add it as I complete it.
