Lately I'm finding I spend more time studying and making artwork.  My job is already very creative, but I increasingly feel like I could and should be doing more.  I see so many brilliant artists out there and I feel a sense of respect and profound artistic hunger.   I've recently been finding myself somewhat repelled by the many "pass-times" that our western society saturates us with; things that offer packaged entertainment or menial satisfaction but leave no lasting growth or accomplishment.  It's not to say I'm going to smash my TV and never touch a video game again, but I do feel I want to spend more time learning and exploring art in every medium and style I can.

Since my "day job" takes a lot of my time, I have to squeeze in drawing and painting and such where I can.  In a way it has become a reward for me.  If I accomplish a lot of work in a day, then I can treat myself to a bit of time spent on a painting or drawing.  I like attitude because it increases my productivity all around.  And it's fun!  I have several projects in the works right now and I'll post them when I can.  I hope maybe my art will occasionally inspire others as much as so many artists are inspiring me.

I haven't posted on Deviant Art for a long time.  Today I felt like adding a couple of my more recent pieces.  In reading over my previous journal entry it felt so old and dated.  A lot of life has been flowing along since then.  At this point I find myself in a much more positive frame of mind then I had back then.  I'm doing a lot more visual art these days.  Some of it I even like! lol  I've come to appreciate and learn from a lot of other artists techniques and styles.  Art is such a huge adventure.  It feels like any opportunity to create is a chance to play!

I'll upload when and what I can.  Have a very awesome day!

I've been vacillating about what kind of art to upload to this gallery.  At this point in my life much of the artwork I do centers around costume or prop design.  When it comes to such illustrations I always pursue conventionality with grim determination; in other words I only illustrate what I know for sure can be built close to what I've drawn.  Generally the finished suit or project looks better then the artwork.  By that very definition, it's not exactly great art.  

On the other hand, I used to stream out illustrations and artwork drawn purely on inspiration.  Those I consider to be real art, and I've been trying to do more of that.  Both  raising the art level of my project illustrations, and doing some pictures just purely for the sake of creativity.  

So what do I upload here - art or project designs?  Or both?  For now I think I'll do a little of both, but I'd love to hear what others think! :)
