So, today I put the Okonokos piece on the large format scanner... This is a true-scan with some half-assed Photoshopping to clean up smudges. The screens here aren't so hot, so there'll probably be alot of missed spots - and the brightness is likely out of control, as well.

Anyway, the point is - I'm going to be calling some printers soon and seeing if I can't get a short run of art prints made. I'll probably only have 100 made - plus 10 Artist Proofs.

Mark me down for one.

Hate to post something without sharing new stuff...

This is probably going to be a magazine cover - still in talks with the publisher.

Awesome, dude... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[FarmerYoda]

Creativity can make up for talent (which i think you have anyway). You deffinately have loads of creativity. Your style is just different than Brad's, not inferior. How old are you? 15, 16? You're at a way different level than I was at that age, you'll only get better.

[Angry Ewok]

You can't criticize your work based on someone else's... instead you have to stay focused on besting yourself, and surprising yourself by constantly improving. Your style is way out there, it's your signature style - something I didn't have at 15, and still don't have at 22. There's no comparison - so how can you say it's inferior?

Anyway, don't get discouraged, sweets. This last piece of yours is very cool, I like the freehanded symmetry you've got going there.

Whenever I see your artwork Face I think of Damien Rice's album covers:





Excellent stuff J! Keep up the good work.

I am so excited I can't contain myself. Be the first (besides my mom) to see my newly created painting. It is for an upcoming group show: http://www.myspace.com/openheartshow Help me think of a name. Should I pay honor to mmj and call it It Beats For You?

I titled it 'Vitality'.

Anyone who ever gave a damn about baseball has got to have some level of admiration for Babe Ruth... I've always been totally awestruck by old videos of his swing. Here's a rough sketch for a piece I've got in mind.

In other news, the Okonokos Mural has been at the press for a week or so... I'll be going in later this week to proof the setup before the prints are run. There will be 250 prints made, so there's your first heads up on that. Once I see the proof, I'll start taking pre-orders, if anyone is interested. I'll probably offer some sort of pricecut or added 'something' for those earlier orders.
