...was initially for pieces done on a computer, but has since become a free-for-all. Here you'll find process work (digital and otherwise), sketch pages and studies, sometimes with commentary.

Human Exploration - 05.29.13

Regardless of the evening's outcome, I went there.  Poked around.  Before, I was mainly concerned about getting overall shapes of main masses...and I still am...but now I'm fascinated by the shapes of CHANGE.  Turning points, edges, recesses, bulges, etc.  What do THOSE shapes look like?  Do I know change when I see it, and when I see it, can I make those changes DEFINITE?

Combat Sim : Web App

For fans of random subject matter generators :

A fellow by the name of Tom Ellis contacted me to share, "I've been a big fan of your Combat Sim / Thumb War for a while now and thought I'd make a little web-app to help generate some of the suggestions listed, which I find awesome for coming up with concept ideas!"

This is the second such app someone has made, so I'm very flattered!  Thanks, Tom!
