Saturday Update!

Hello and thanks for stopping by.

Well I am back in full swing of doing art, and I am loving it.  Strait Arrow Graphix is a side business for me, but I love it.  I have picked up quite a few more commisions and am excited about the new projects.  I can't talk about all of them yet, but I am excited all the same.

I finally am back to Testimony of Palidos and have worked hard to get some flat colors done, now to work on the full rendering.  I will give you a sneak peak though of what is coming since you have not gotten to see the art for it in a while.  These are just the flat colors, the cool shading and effects are yet to be finished.  I had a blast with the Minotaurs

Don't forget to vote for out comic.  The higher we are on the list the more exposure we get.


Well I have more work to do, so I gotta go

MId Week Update...give or take a day

So Yesterday was a great art day for me.  I got to crank out art.  Well work on it anyways.  It is sometimes a re learning period as I was working on my web comic.  I am progressing though.  I am not sure when I will have the next part of Testimony of Palidos up, but I did put up a small piece of art to just get something up on the web comic site.  I also worked on layouts for some other art projects I have brewing here too.  So I spent some time down in the studio, and some time on the computer. I finished up my evening with working on some Testimony of Palidos art cards.

So go check out my comic, and check out the changes I have made and other art I have done on Deviant art!

Also the Amazing Linda has been working on a Logo design.  We will share that when it is complete.  She has been doing some cool graphic design stuff for flyers, logos, and other things.  I hope to get here stuff up in our gallery soon too.

Hello All

Well The computer is up and running.  I worked up a practice piece I will share below.  It is my plan to be back to full art art now.  Things will be slow for my comic but it will be coming.  I have other art that needs done too, so be patient and enjoy.

NEW HARD Drive and Other News!

Holy Cow it has been too long since I have posted.  So it is time for a little post here.

Well First I finally have a new hard drive.  I have it installed, but now have to put in all the software.  So soon I will be able to be back to doing some of the digital stuff I do.  Though we have kept up with some design work with the laptops.

So what have we been doing.  Well I did have to take a break from posting my comic.  On top of working another day job to pay the bills at home, I run a martial arts dojo, and for a season I had some other responsibilities at my church that I had to take care of.  Yet the art had to keep going.  I have done some small art cards, and designed some things for a couple church organizations.  Linda has done more than I with the design work, but that is where she excels where I excel at the illustration work.

So with things changing again I am back at the illustration work, and plan to work on my comic work again.  I am still working on the illustrations for VisionLand Comics.  I am also working out an agreement for a martial arts organization to do some classic comic style illustrations for them.  All this has me pretty excited.  Its a good time to be an illustrator, well this one anyways.

Well that is it for now.  Check back later.
