Everything old is new again.

Everything old is new again.

by | Jul 20, 2022 | Blog, Events

Well, well, well. Look who’s come crawling back. Again.

It’s true. I’m disillusioned with social media.

I don’t want to make TikToks all day, I want to make art. And maybe write about it a little. And so, tentatively I’m back to blogging…? I don’t know anymore, this whole content-creation landscape makes me do this…

I won’t’ lie, it’s very comforting coming back here and seeing all the old posts sitting and waiting. When I started digging back into the blog for the first time recently it hit me just how much I miss having a platform I can control.

Sure, it’s not populated by millions of ethereal users who might interact but it does let me be my uncensored self, with no algorithm to please and no gatekeepers to hide my content (Fuck even just that word bothers me!).

The plan so far is to use the blog as the true-true, he-who-remains, single-source, absolute gospel for AOW “content”, ie all the stuff I want to make. So if it’s worth posting it’ll be posted here first.

Speaking of, I’m just about to break 4,000 followers on Instagram and I’m planning a nice little original art giveaway lined up to celebrate. Come join us.

Back in mid 2015 I was lucky enough to get invited to participate in one of the Topps Star Wars card sets. I did over 100 full color cards featuring characters from the first 6 movies, Clone Wars and Rebels that are available now a specialty inserts in the Journey to The Force Awakens hobby boxes.

Here’s what the culminated 100 sketch cards look like.

Below are a few of my favorites.

Fan Art Friday The 13th Kick Off Sale!

Fan Art Friday The 13th Kick Off Sale!

by | Jun 13, 2014 | Art & Illustration, Events

If you happen to follow me on Facebook you may have seen a conversation or two about my growing dissatisfaction with creating fan art for conventions and how it would be great to see more artists drop the copyrighted characters from their portfolios and focus instead on original work they control and own. Because of those conversations and the reactions to them I’ve decided to put my money where my mouth is and do just that.

Starting now and going until July I’m having a giant fanart print sale. I’ve collected all my stock, taken a final inventory and put them up for sale in the newly resurrected Big Cartel Store for $25 each, and I won’t be reprinting any of these pieces once the current stock sells out.

As a bonus incentive I’m also offering a massive 20% OFF when you use the coupon code FANART at checkout. Get em’ while they last, it’s first come first serve until stocks run out, and these piece won’t be reprinted or available anywhere else once they’re gone.
