I go through a thing every now and then where I'll delete a bunch of deviations, or sweep them into my "Very Very Old" folder and disappear, and then come back and upload a bunch of new stuff. We're in the "upload a bunch of new stuff" phase. We'll see how long this lasts this time...

It's my sketchblog, and it gets updated far more often than my dA page.

Got to add a year to my age.  Just one more and my insurance premiums will drop again

Just joined the bifrost DA club, it's definately woth checking out if you're interested in an art club, or just a new group of friends to play with and bounce ideas off of.

I'm noticing a very umpleasant trend in my work.  My pallate lacks finesse.  Whatever my intentions are, I end up with a lot of super-saturated, high-contrast peices, unless I force myself only to use shades of one color through white.  This can't be good.  I mean, it can be good, in the case of doing some work for children, color is fab.  Then again, Maurice Sendak did not do what I'm doing.

I mean, it's got its place for sure.  But I can do better than that.  For the month of June...well from June 6 to July 6 I will challenge myself to do a few, but no less than three works that are well composed, using a more restrained and subtle color pallate than I have been used to.  In Painter or using real media.  I am more comfortable with my color choices in vector stuff, so I'll hold off on that for a bit.

Meanwhile, the search for good source material continues.
