Hey man, yeah been kinda in the dumps about my art for a while now I just get so frustrated with it some times. Really impressed with your last 2 pieces you've posted. Fantastic work really. I have a piece that I started a while back that needs finished that shows some promise. I need to get it finished and quit being such a downer.

This guy has opened my eyes to what free lancers can do. He is right next door to your new home too ^^

Yeah i have followed him for quit some time now first saw his stuff back in the day on conceptart.org he lives in boston. Ill show you another guy to keep an eye out for Johannes goes by algenpfleger this guy is just a kid only 23 and paints so well his stuff looks like a 3d program. I don't enjoy all of his stuff though for that reason. I like paintings to look like paintings other wise just use 3d programs or take a picture in my opinion. However that doesn't negate the pure tallent and time they have put into mastering the effect.

cool, checked out his work. good stuff. I remember seeing a collaborative effort between him and a girl in which the art consisted of worms and girls. it was a double-take... Doesn't he also do live-streams? cant remember.

hey bro, how's it going? Been wondering how things have been for ya, if you are having trouble adjusting or are inspired by the new lanscapes

Yeah, i doubt I'll be back in the Fort area by may but it is something I will keep in mind for sure. Ashley and I are doing pretty good just went whale watching today plenty of whales out I guess but it was so foggy it was hard to see anything. Gonna try it again soon. How are you guys doing back in Indiana?

still just trying to find my stride. life can sure throw a curve ball every day if i dont keep art priority 1 in daily responsibilities. i am trying to push my paint skills, which i think everyone will be amazed once i show. i really dont wanna show my ideas online, so maybe just 'sneak-peeks' ^_^ What ive been working on is almost done...

Sup Cali!!! hehe. How's it goin? How was the trip?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sup man! Sitting at Borders only 2500 miles away haha! Don't have internet at the apartment yet I should be getting it up tomorrow though. Every thing is awesome so far just have to get used to the apartment living compared to having a house. The view is simply amazing all around here. Its funny because Vacaville is a small town and yet it has more stuff then Fort Wayne haah. It is simply condensed rather then being all dispurssed like fort wayne. I'll keep you up to date with things here as they come in. Until then man take it easy and keep doing your stuff!

unfortunately I have not. I need to get back into the groove of things and start posting on conceptart.org again. I took a look at your gallery as well and I'm digging the helm design on your female cavalier. Keep up the great work and hopefully you'll see me around on CA as well.
