Venrusi Homeworld

Got super inspired by the stylized brushstrokes of the film "The Wild Robot", and so decided to do a brushy painting in my Space Baroque Universe. This shows a view of the Venrusi's lush forests, along with a monk enjoying a moment on the hill.

Color Sketches

Think it’s time to revive throwbackthursday. Here’s a bunch of color thumbnails I’ve made over the years, many of which led to more realistic paintings, but step 1 is always to try and capture the color / light / composition with as few distracting details as possible

Simple Compositions

Going back to those simplified environments, can I create compelling compositions from just a few fundamental shapes and strokes? Tons of fun to try!

Final Online Sale

This is it, the final time copies of the Megastructures book (2nd printing) will be available for sale online (may do a third printing one day, but it will likely be several years). So if you want one, head over to my webstore and get it now! https://artofsoulburn.gumroad.com/

Drink N Draw

The Workshop Academy's Drink'nDraw in the Seattle area. As algorithms tweak our behavior online, & AI bots become indistinguishable from real users, we need to focus more on meaningful in-person community. I recommend, artists, find a local group you can connect with regularly! Thanks Josh for setting these up!

LBX Sketches

Robot head doodles from Lightbox Expo. Usually have way more time to draw these between talking to people, but this LBX was just crowded beyond belief, so only had time to draw a couple the whole weekend.

Lightbox Expo 2024 done!

Had a great time at Lightbox Expo 2024, met so many great people, sold out of all the books I brought to the show, and now I am exhausted with a half working voice and hope to get some serious rest after tonight. Thanks to everyone who came by to say hi!

Lightbox Expo 2024

Final con of the year. And will have a bunch of copies of the Megastructure book + Bonus book for sale. If you're in the Los Angeles area this friday-sunday, come by and say hi!
