In order to save time, I am going to keep the artist list on the group page up-to-date instead of here on my blog. Thanks!

Beautiful Grim

My friend Leif and I are organizing an art auction for charity that will be held next year. All of the information for the show will be posted on the show's site www.beautifulgrim.com. We hope to have the site up and running by Nov. 22nd.

You an also visit the group page on Facebook here: Beautiful Grim

If you would like to create a piece of art and donate it to the auction that would be awesome. The art can be anything from a quick pencil sketch to a painting. There are no limits or restrictions and any media is acceptable. So far we have 110 artists contributing that hail from all regions of the industry: concept artists, animators, photographers, sculptors, fine artists, illustrators, you name it. The theme for the auction is Beautiful Grim. Right now the tentative deadline for the art is the end of January 2010. I am currently researching venues to hold the event, but so far it looks like the event will be held in San Francisco. We also had the idea to release all of the art as a book and donate all of the proceeds to a charity.

Please let me know if you are interested or know someone that is.  I really appreciate it.

Until the Beautiful Grim site is up and running I will update this blog with new information. Thanks!

The box cover illustration I did for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd Edition along with another illustration I did can be seen in this video.

I just finished a short, real-time video of Nibru that focuses on refining the face. I plan to release a few more of these real-time videos, so stay tuned!

Nibru - Refining the Face

I am currently in a transition with my YouTube site, so if you are looking for the Liche Priest video you can find it on the 3D Total site here.

Today conceptart.org had their Self Portrait Day. I decided to take a couple hour break from my freelance work and paint a self portrait. It has been a long time since I painted a self portrait, so I figured this would be some good practice. The painting took two hours to complete. I ended up recording the whole process, so now all I need to do is edit the video and add audio.
