During Otakon I got to hang out with some old friends of mine from SCAD as well as make some new friends and whatnot and while wandering about Artist Alley I couldn't help but take notes. Basically I just took note about what sells and what doesn't. I'm not gonna get into a rant about where the money is and what kids spend their money on (fanart) because well that would take far too long. And besides, it was an anime convention after all. It just sucks to see that... nope almost fell into a trap there.

The bottom line is a lot of the artists there had a large number of prints for sale. Stuff with varying energies and moods. Variety of character art and the like. And I don't have that stuff...yet. But that's what I'll be working on. I wanna focus on my own original characters and stories and hope that people enjoy them way I do. And ya know maybe make some money off of them at cons. But...I'll probably have to do some fan art of my own, and who knows, maybe I won't have to.

So here's the plan. I'm gonna spend a good year getting an army of finished drawings. And make a convention debut sometime next year. Probably a comic book convention, but only time will tell which ones. I definitely wanna go to SDCC next year. But I want to enjoy that one.

Oh! My websites almost finished, man what an adventure that's been. Just a little bit more.


Oh! Oh! Go check out some of my friends pages.

But I'm truly excited about this. I know nothing about html. Well knew nothing. I've had to look up the code for the "a href="http://website here">to visible text here" every time i needed to make a link to my blog or to anyone else pages for that matter. It's coming along quite slowly but that's fine. I'm learning something new every 45 SECONDS!!

I'm still on the basics and I'm using Dreamweaver like it's MS Notebook. Haven't even touched CSS. Looking forward to that though. And Frames, and Flash, and wordpress(?) or is it RSS, XHtml. Tons of stuff to research! Guess I'll get back to it.

For the time being I'm working on a website, a re-write, and brand new one-shot. A shorter one the will begin and end in no more than 40 pages...hopefully. over the next two months I'm going to pencil, ink, letter, tone, bind/print these suckers out. I heard editors like to see finished comics so the next time I meet one I'll be sure to have one on hand. So design works will be up, sketches will stay on the blog though. TS (Tetra Slash) updates for now. SS (Shonen Style) updates for later.

Oh some pages Inked for editors may show up as well.

My room is finally cleaned and I'm re-situated at home again and now... it's time to draw.

Blog?

I'll have a degree. I'll be done with SCAD and then I can take my time with everything that I draw,and produce awesome things, all while looking for a job. It's gonna be awesome. Best of all I'll get to practice Practice PRACTICE!! I'm gonna hone in on all of my weakness and make them go AWAY!! or at least make them not...weak? Backgrounds and Hands I'm lookin' right at you two. EITHER WAY!! I can hardly contain my excitement. I'm in my final Final's Weekend and it the least stressful one I've ever had.


By the way, check out my blog. And I'll uh... draw some more.

The universe is paying me back of all the $hit it's been dumping one for the last several years. I've got decent artwork, free grilled chicken, my girlfriends coming down to visit (sort of), I've saved enough money to buy a mac book (finally), and I get a portfolio review from Viz Media. But to top it off the day after I graduate my family and I are going on vacation. It's been years since we've had one of those. It's great!! Which MAKES ME WORRY!!!

With all this good stuff happening so rapidly, I just know something amazingly horrible is going to happen to me in the near future.

-___-

*Sigh*

All well. I'll just have to enjoy my good fortune while I can. Oh and Uh, Opra owns KFC? So I hear. Check out her website for a coupon that's good for a free meal. I'm not kidding.

By the by I'm not really mad, I just love the emoticon.

Check out my blog. And I'll uh... draw some more.

Not really. I'll just have to draw even more. Time to play the good music and spend some time in the hyperbolic time chamber.

Plain and simple: I don't like half of the art I have/do.

Most of it's homework, some of it's unfinished (in my eyes and physically), and the last bit just makes me the tiniest bit sick inside. But that's why I'm putting it up here. All of my friends are really good. It's inspiring and some times it's a little daunting. I'm sure you've been there before. It's enough to make me not want to show my work to people sometime. But that was then. I'll have to move past that. I've been sitting on scans for a couple of months now, and one thing is clear:

I've been practicing, times been passing, I've been improving. I have to learn to not hate my work. Everything is what it is, and there's always time to improve on future works. So that's what I'll be doing. Everything that will be going up within the next couple of days will be old, some of it a couple months shy of being a year old.

Either way, I'm putting it online, showing where I've been and hopefully I'll get some people interested in seeing where I'm going.

Well, here I go.



Edit: A friend of mine suggested I start an blog spot, so i did. You can check out my most recent projects at: RedSpade15.blogspot.com

When I can actually upload something into this blasted gallery of mine I will, ya know, actually use this account.

I made a good amount of progress this summer, but I wasn't able to share any of it with you guys. When I actually get access to a scanner I will slowly upload everything from these past months.

So I have two non art related jobs. I work every day of the week, and rarely will I get a day off. Why do I bring this up? Cause I have to drive about 45 minutes away from my home to use the nearest scanner. So uploading stuff looks like an issue. Hopefully I can work something out, if not the next couple of months are looking pretty dry.
