Aviatrix – 20×30″ oils on canvas $1000 http://www.bit.ly/jraviatrix Here she is! The completed Aviatrix. I have to admit i am thrilled with the way these pieces have come together. As usual, the more I paint the more inspired I get and this series is pushing me to improve and tackle new things. No sooner do…
Pipes – a steampunk nude Dazlstudio render I have yet to photograph the finished aviatrix yet so here is the render of the painting I am currently working on. it’s working name is pipes, but I don’t have a title for it yet. Sorry I didn’t post this last week, I had a migraine and…
Life models vs virtual models: round 2 (round 1 is here) Last week I wrote about all my reasons why I prefer using 3D models for my painting reference over live models. This week I thought I would flip the tables and write about the limitations of 3D and why a life model can be…
Life models vs virtual models: round 1 Something someone said to me the other day made me think of the many reasons I choose to use 3D as reference material for my art. In my mind, 3D has so much potential for artists, in so many ways. I often laud the cost savings of using…
What goes up must come down. It is a law of physics, and of economy. While many are looking at the recent succeeds at Christies and Sotheby’s as the best art sales we’ve seen, others are seeing it as the beginning of the end for the arts market. Personally, I see it as possibly the…
I still don’t have a studio, but that’s ok, because i’m consuming myself with learning to use my iPad as a serious medium. I’ve been drawing and painting on it every day, in multiple apps. It’s very interesting, they all have something to offer in different ways. This is painted in sketchbook pro and often…
it turns out, the more I experimented with painting and enjoyed myself, the less pain I felt. and sharing with the world enabled me to create the career I have today. sometimes I wonder about taking down those old posts, they’re a long way from where I’ve come today, and I worry that they aren’t in keeping with my “brand” but I look back fondly on them, they’re part of my journey. this blog is the history of my career from the beginning, an online visual diary and a fun diversion.

I still don’t have my studio in a useable state at the present so I have been taking the time to refine my skills on sketchbook pro on my iPad. This is my first real painting on it that i’ve liked. I feel I am beginning to get a handle on using the different features…
I have been thinking about my goals for this year. They are broken down into personal, marketing, online, offline, exhibiting, creating art, learning and other revenue streams. At least so far… Last year was a wonderful year for me, I finally achieved one of my long term goals and gained gallery representation. I’ve been building…
