Back in Buisness....So to speak...

Hello hello!

So in wake of the disaster that was myToons closing on me, I've found a new home for my demoreel and portfolio. I came across this awesome website while viewing a friends portfolio. The site is carbonmade.com, a very easy and great site for online work display. You have two options a free account or a paid account, lots of space and clean layouts. It's a great place to show off your work. So my portfolio is up there now and the link is in the old spot of the myToons link, I also added their blog into my links section. So have a look see and enjoy.

My Apologies...

So turns out that MyToons.com is closed which is a bit of a disappointment considering I was using the space on there to host my demo reel and portfolio. It was brought up to my attention this morning and is really inconvenient especially since I have sent the link to studios requesting to view my work. It was a surprise to me, cause I didn't even receive a "hey thanks for using MyToons.com, unfortunately we are closing the site due to....blah blah blah....whatever reason" email. Well I just want to send my sincere apologies out and in attempts to seem less unprofessional than I have already made myself appear with this situation I am working on opening an offshoot blog for the sole purpose of hosting my reel and portfolio.

Again sorry for the inconvenience this has caused anyone and I'll keep you all posted.

Later!

And so begins the next chapter...

So in a weird turn of events....ironic if you will....I was let go from work about a month after my last post about artist suffering during the "recession".

Well I'm keeping spirits high and looking for work back in the industry. Keeping drawing and staying positive. I now have more time to perfect my craft. Below you will find a couple of things I have been working on as well as some treats I've found while updating my portfolio.

Which brings me to my next point....I now have an online Portfolio. I joined the site mytoons.com and have created a portfolio like I mentioned I was going to do a couple post ago.

So Check it out tell me what you think and I'll be back next week with some more postage for all to see.

Check out these earlier sketches for my Skullshire Girl piece, done in Sketchbook Pro...

Here are two early versions of the Burst Angel drawing I did way back when......The one on the left is detail on the face and the one on the right is the original version before I made some changes to the drawing.

Here is a sketch I was working on. I have recently purchased Toon Boom Animate and was messing around by doing a caricature of myself.

We are all most definitely in trouble....

So I was reading the Toronto Star this morning and came across this article about how artists are really struggling and it was a frighting thing to hear... I decided to post it so as to make people more aware.
