I'm working on a user interface design for a mobile internet app... trying to learn how to make the most of small screens and mobile browsers.

At the studio, doing illustrations for a music video for BET and storyboarding for Metalocalypse...

And on my own time, drawing a comic that needs to be done by the end of the year.

You know all those things sticking out from the shelves at grocery stores? I am working on the ones coming out at Christmas time.

I am meeting with a client who wants to put some color into her new condo. She's afraid of color and has changed her mind about three times now. It's her money.....On top of this difficult client I am editing a batch of photos I took on my recent trip to N.Y. I'll be starting a few paintings today as well. No watercolor, oil this time around. I went to MOMA and was really inspired. Actually, just leaving the house and Oakland to be somewhere else is always inspiring. Traveling always helps me overcome creative blocks.

I'm working on branding a band.. logos are what I'm doing now, then working a website, and promo materials.

We (my friend, aka the manager, and I) are looking for hand coders as well, since both of us are pretty mediocre at it. We can a pretty small sum, but it is a sum. Anyone interested?

Right now I'm switching over from commissioned portraits to writing. My first novel was published and released the beginning of this month - now I'm up to chapter 12 of my new novel - an historical fiction thriller. Besides that, I'm about half way into my first oil painting in over 20 yrs - it's the first in my "Man From Snowy River & Friends" series. I already have a collector of my work who wants first bid at this oil.

Hmm everyone sounds so ambitious. I am working on a painting of a woman dealing with domestic violence, but soon I will be starting another painting to enter into a show in November. Guess I better quite chatting and get to work. Good luck to you all. . . Oh and nathangriffith have you tried resin or Galkyd Gel? I don't know if those are quite the textures you are going for but maybe they'll help.

Lets see, I have got two new paintings posted in the painting a day series, one painting in a new grouping of "Garden Lovers" of a couple making out on a park bench, another painting in process of a NYC flower shop and I am just preparing a presentation for a theatrical design, (second design team meeting) and cleaning the studio for a client meeting tomorrow morning, oh yeah, and taking down a group exhibition tomorrow as well. And right now, I am hoping to go to sleep having driven back to Richmond from NYC getting in at about 3:00 am, damn, I'm still awake and I obviously have a lot on for tomorrow

Workin on my submissions for the PEEL HERE 2007 Show "It's all about stickers"
I got some stickers, painting and some stenciling to do...Yeah the show will be great.....

I'm waiting to hear back from a museum about a proposal for an installation. In the meantime I am trying to learn how to use Premier Pro to edit some video that I took in China. Any experts out there in case I get totally frustrated?

I am working on starting a business with a friend. I'm hoping it work out.

I am building my artist website and drawing. And painting. Drawings are whatever comes to mind...and I am going to start a new painting series of human body shots. Interesting compositions of the body with some cool color choices. I just met Antoine de Villers at the Las Vegas art expo, and that really inspired me. She was really really cool.

i am gearing up for three drawings. one, a comic book style picture of Xander Harris from Buffy. two, my fiancee in pencil portrait style. and three, a piece inspired by the song Amy Acker and the Curious Paper Tiger (by horowitz)... it is going to be a pencil portrait of amy acker holding a curious paper tiger with some of the lyrics comprising the paper tigers strips. doing the last piece for the band.

yesterday I shot a series of pieces using my blood injected into either egg yolk or white, both raw and lit in some pretty funky ways. As I began working on them at 3 Am this morning, I realized they all pretty much suck. well back to the drawing board. I am looking for a liquid I can suspend blood droplets in. I have tried egg white and glycerin. neither worked. i will be trying vegetable oil. any other suggestions?
