11.10.09 -eventful events

I will have my piece, "topside" at the Strychnin Gallery, as part of their group show, Magistrates. Kind of gave me a reason to paint that sketch I posted fairly recently. The show opens November 13th, and runs until December 6th, in Berlin, Germany.

A little closer to home, I'll be gladly attending IlluXcon2. Just check out that guest list of artists. That runs from Nov.12- Nov. 15th in Altoona, PA.



"topside"
oil on linen
about 11" x 22" . I think ?


From Imagine FX magazine, Issue #49. I haven't seen the issue yet , but I basically discussed combining traditional oil painting with digital techniques. Still haven't seen the issue myself, but it is out there.



a little ink and digital experimentation. Well ...experimental for me since I am still trying to learn the nuances of inking.

hey Scott,
I dunno how you get such a magical feel in your images mate. The last image is excellent!

Andrew Olson said...

I'm really digging that horned guy, I'd say the experiment was a success!

Ken said...

I saw your tutorial in Imagine FX - good job! It was very informative, and good to see how you work. Love the fawn

Unknown said...

wow you guys are fast :)

Jon - ahh thanks mate. Means a ton coming from you. We should share magics, eh?

Andrew- Thank you sir! Your work has been really inspirational lately

Ken - Thanks man. Your opinion means alot . To be honest, I got pretty sick during the painted portion of that ImagineFX article. So I had all these expectations that I couldn't meet. On the other hand, I did plan out the article before I got sick, so I hope the information is still useful.
