JORDU SCHELL

This guy is an amazing sculptor.  Just amazing.  Watch the video and see him work through and entire bust.  Just awesome how you can see him lay on the muscles and anatomy.  I really found it interesting how he used his fingers together working in perfect symmetry.  I made me think of the symmetry in Zbrush.

Art Gift

My friend Bill is a huge Wonder Woman fan so I decided to make a piece of WW art for his birthday.  I found an image of a painting of Wonder Woman on the net, went over the image with vectors in PS to clean it up and give it a really tight look, printed it out and put it in a gold frame.  I hope he likes it :)

Fun After Dinner

I've been working on some illustrations focused on the children's market.  I'd love to do my own children's book some day.  I see picture books as such a great melding of words and images.  A great way to tell a story.  Most of my favorite books are children's books, some that I've kept all these years and am now reading to my kids.

So here is one of the images I've finished recently.  I wanted to get a bunch done for the SCBWI meeting in NYC this past weekend.  For all my images I want the viewer to look at the picture and start imaging the story that goes with it.  Is that the dad on the guitar and his three kids and the grandpa.  Why do they have those uniforms on?  That house seems really unusual.  When or where are they?  I hope you like it and I'll be posting more.
