My art is now online! posted : 10/19/09 at 04:44pm pst

Okay, I find this kind of thing terryfing... I've been putting off showing anyone my work forever as I hate anyon seeing it. Too insecure!
But I realise that if one day this is going to be my career, I have to get myself out there.
Still haven't finished my website, but for now I'm easing myself in gently with this...

 Whoa :|
I love all of them, but the amount of detail and cross-hatching in #4 and 5 blows my mind!

 So along with being gorgeous you've got the ability to draw, and to draw very well.

That last drawing would make an excellent tattoo. An homage to one of my favourite bands Modest Mouse. I'm not sure if it's inspired or in any way related to their album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank" but I love the drawing anyway. The rest of the drawings are amazing and the colours beautiful.

A modest mouse tattoo would be epic...

 I guess I can add great musical taste onto your list of redeeming qualities as well.

I love them!  You have no need to be worried what people think!  I'd tell you to stop being to self-critical, but I know it would do no good.  Creative people always are critical of themselves.  But your line work is beautiful!  And I happen to love the subject matter as well.  :)

I'm really into the Portugal ones. Some fine textures and layers going on with the overpainting of the books.

I really like your work. It's great. You could have a career as an illustrator to support your fine art. It's really really good. I say this as the son of an artist who supported a large family in L.A. (an expensive city in which to raise a family) by drawing pictures and making them move. Talent and beauty are both rare, but you have both in abundance.

Thankyou all of you! I really really appreciate having you actually go and look at it :) Its been a big step.
I'm gonna upload as often as possible so i actually have some of my current work up there and not just old stuff.
In fact, I just updated today!

If you wanna leave comments on the blog, or if you have a google/yahoo ID and want to follow it... that would be unspeakably awesome ^_^
