Art Buyers’ Etiquette

0

Next week at MisCon 26 in Missoula, Montana, I’ll be on a panel about this very subject.  I love that we are going to have this panel.  I think a lot of people don’t really know how to interact with artists, or at least that’s been my experience over the years.  I wanted to take [...]

Photoshop Brushes – What’s the Secret?

0

There seems to be a notion that somewhere out there exists a set of painting brushes that are the ultimate and only brushes for painting.  These brushes will render skin that looks super realistic without much effort from you.  Obviously, the only thing holding you back from realistic skin is a brush that imitates the [...]

Most of the questions are very interesting, others are very strange, but many of them are worth blogging about.

Taking Criticism From “The Jerk”

1

A few days ago, I asked my fans over on Facebook to send me some general art-related questions that I would answer here on the blog.  Overwhelmingly my e-mails then and always are about criticism and how to take it.  I wish that there was a simple answer, and a lot of people will tell [...]

My favorite book of all, oddly enough, is just a visual [...]
