Schoolism/Imaginism

If you guys are in art school and want to be any kind of prominent artist in the entertainment, animation, video game, or comic book industry, I highly, highly recommend you take a look at the interviews on Schoolism.com

http://www.schoolism.com/

Bobby Chiu is in charge over there and is a respected industry artist (which is why he's able to pull interviews with the artists he presents). The information you will hear in these interviews is invaluable if you take your career as an industry artist seriously.

I tend to watch or listen to these a lot while I'm actually working, and it's helped answer a lot of questions I've had about other creator techniques and how they got started in the industry.

Check it Out!!

Anime Expo 2013

So, I will finally make it to Anime Expo this year! Every other year around this time since 2006 I've been in preparation for San Diego Comic Con, so I always miss Anime Expo...but NOT this year! Comic Con is not a must this year, so I'm going to the AX!

There's a lot I want to see there, including new anime titles, artwork (of course), meeting some of the artists behind some of my favorite series and films, games, toys, and last but not least, ridiculous cosplay, hah!

May see you guys there or may not, but I'm sure it will be a bit o' the ol' fun!

cheers,

Wow! We made it!

This was my first post on the 'Udon: World of Warcraft Tribute,' but since then I've found out that my piece made it in the book!! Super stoked for this and it will be out in July 2013 exclusively at San Diego Comic Con!

Prior Post:

So I just finished my "World of Warcraft - Tribute Book" piece minutes ago!! Of course I worked all the way up to the deadline date..but it took 2 months of "researching" WOW again in order to get my "reference" for the piece (such hard work). 

I really dig the design work in Warcraft and of Blizzard in general, so we shall see what they have to say (fingers crossed). Apologies, I cannot show you the piece or even a sneak peek, as Blizzard and Udon have said "NO!"

I respect the rules, so you'll have to wait, but the good news is, I will have more to post on Deviant Art that has nothing to do with that at all!!!

cheers all,
