Drawing on the iPad

I admit to being an “early adopter” which means I need instant gratification. I admit it. And when it comes to Apple gadgets, my needs are overwhelming. The iphone literally changed my life (and I don’t use the phone that much).
When I saw the iPad, I knew I needed it to draw on. I draw [...]

The Nixon Tapes

A few months back I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Ziggy Nixon for his blog on art, illustration and all things creative. We had a terrific discussion about art and life and sundry things, while I suffered a few senior moments. Check out the interview and let me know what you think. In [...]

Looking Back to Move Forward

The fact that I haven’t added anything to the blog for quite some time leaves me with one advantage: I have a lot to report.
In the fall of 2008, “Vector Graphics and Illustration: A Master Class in Digital Image-making” was published by Rotovision. I co-wrote the book with Steven Withrow and it is available through [...]

Time Flies and then Some

Yep. I have not been able to keep up with this blog to save my life. Until now, when it indeed may save my life. While I know I am talking to myself for the most part, I am committed to finding a way to get this into a schedule that will serve as something [...]

Still Trying to Catch Up

A couple of weeks late (remember the relationship between late and never?), I wanted to comment briefly on the New York Comic Con at the Javitz Center. I went on Friday (we all know cons are always Friday, Saturday and Sunday – no matter the dates) to miss the crowds and touch base with old [...]

Two at a Time?

Hey, I figured while I’m at it, and because I know so many of you are watching, I’d put up another post: an illustration I have been working on to further break my dependence on the use of photo reference. My brother titled it “Watch Out What You Fish For.” My friend and favorite illustrator [...]

Flogger?

I am sure there is a term out there in cyberland for somebody who can’t keep up with his blog. (See www.linesandcolors.com, best art blog on the internet for an example of real blogging).
Anyway, for today, just a brief note. I have joined “www.hireanillustrator.com“, and you can see my work there as well.

I’m Late, I’m Late

Certainly, my intention was to maintain this blog on a daily basis. A move from Wilmington, Delaware to Lindenhurst, New York was stressful and time consuming. Last minute eureka obligations and the challenges of selling a house in this market have conspired to make blogging a lower priority.
We have been here for about 4 months, [...]

Out of the Ordinary

Occasionally, all of us are called upon to create a piece that falls outside of our “style” or thematic approach. Sometimes that can be frustrating, other times great fun. In this case it was a pleasure working with The Archer Group in Wilmington, Delaware to create a poster for an IMAX movie called “Wild Ocean”. [...]

Orphan Works Update from Delaware

I just received a response from Tom Carper, a Democratic Senator from Delaware (The other being Joe Biden) and I found myself confused as to what exactly he’s saying. His description of the Bill sounds wrong to me and I can’t, for the life of me, understand if he supports it or not.
You be [...]
