5 Steps to a Magazine Feature of You and Your Art
via Art Biz Blog http://ift.tt/1FSeXIw
The November 2014 / January 2015 edition of Professional Artist magazine features an article by me titled “Think Before You Leap: Beware of People Who Tell You to Follow Your Passion.”
The editor suggested photos of artists at work to accompany the article and I knew exactly who to contact: ceramic artist Patricia Griffin.

Patricia is a member of my Art Biz Incubator and I receive her newsletter.
Months ago she sent an email with gorgeous photos of her in the studio. I complimented her on the images and she told me that she had hired a professional photographer to take photos of her in the studio. It showed.
Patricia’s photos were so engaging that they stood out among the hundreds of emails I see from artists. I remembered

Arabian Nights Out-takes
Here are a few more sketches that I’m preparing for the “Fisherman and the Demon” story. I wanted to catch some “out-take” moments for the characters, and experiment with loosening up my inking work. The final inks need to feel like a different hand than the full illustrations that are going to be in the […]

Scott Brundage (update)
via Lines and Colors :: a blog about drawing, painting, illustration, comics, concept art and other visual arts http://ift.tt/1utrw6z
Two things immediately jump out at me when looking over the illustrations of Scott Brundage: one is his deft control of mood and atmosphere across his range of styles, the other is, of course, the wonderful expressiveness of his characters. Brundage works in watercolor, and his style ranges from dark and intense to light and […]

Dancer Adjusting her Slipper, Edgar Degas Pencil on colored paper, 13×10 inches (33x24cm). In the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Degas did numerous studies, drawings, pastels and paintings of dancers preparing; this seemingly simple pencil drawing has always been one of my favorites.

Inking on Vellum
A small scale experiment of inking on vellum goes quite well. I still need to work on solid black area to see if the paper will buckle, but so far, so good!
