As promised a few days ago I've been plugging away at digging up some of my newer works from the past year to add them to the site. You'll be happy to know that you can now see new work under every section in the Illustration tab. Over the past year i've begun attending a monthly gathering of artists to work on my anatomy and drapery, and it has been a very rewarding experience. So now you will also be able to view some of my life drawing sketches under the Illustration tab as well. I know i've said in the past that i have every intention of updating my site more regularly, so if you've come here multiple times and still see no new work, feel free to drop me a line on my Facebook page and yell at me for not updating!
That's all for now, but I still have a few more surprises on the way. Keep checking back!
I realize that it's been over a year since I've put new artwork on my website here, but rest assured i haven't stopped working! I will be udating my site in short time and adding new works, as well as a few other surprises that i have in store. Lots has happened since i last posted, including 2 trips to my new favorite event of the year: ILLUXCON. Check back shortly for a bunch of new work!
So i've finally gotten around to adding more WICK comic strips to the Comic Art section of the site, as well as two new digital paintings under the Illustration tab. I've also been working on a new idea for a children's book of which i will reveal more detalis as they are worked out. Also, later this year (in august I believe) i have been invited to participate in a gallery show at the GoggleWorks in Reading, PA. More details on that as i find out as well. Summer is on the way, and I'm hoping to add a lot of new work to the site as it warms up outside... keep checking back!.
For those of you who like to visit my site on a regular basis i must apologize for my lack of updates. However, you'll all be happy to know that just because i'm not updating the site, does not mean that i've stopped drawing. My newest (and yet somehow oldest) endeavor is to keep a comicstrip up and running, whether just through my site here, or perhaps even to submit it to syndicates so you can all see it in your daily paper. Either way in this round of updates you'll find quite a few of my comic strips for my series WICK. If you feel less that satisified with the updates here, you may also want to search me out on myspace (yes who doesn't have one) at www.myspace.com/candlephoenix. Hope to see you there!
While traditional painting will always hold a place in my heart, digital painting seems to be the wave of the future. I've been practicing the digital craft for the better part of a year now and i've come a long way!Take a look at what i've been working on!
Surely after all this time, many of you must have thought i had forgotten all about my little website. I've come to happily inform you that I havent, and at long last I've decided its time for an update!
Included in this nifty new update will be many of my recent forrays into the world of digital painting. It's the first time i've really gotten into it and i'm quite proud of the turnout. Hopefully there will be many many more of these to come. You can find them in my Digital Paintingsection under the Illustration portfolio tab.
Since it has been such a long time since my last update you'll be happy to find new additions to almost every section of my site, so feel free to take your time and be sure to let me know what you think!
So it seems i've managed to keep with my promise somewhat, and keep the new artwork coming!
Today I've added the all new Graphic Design section to my website, which you'll find under the illustration tab. I've also added quite a few drawings to other sections of my site, including: Illadria, Misc. Characters, and Goddess, as well as a new image in the Comic Pinup section.
I'm also very proud to reveal my newest painting which you can find in the Fine Art section of my illustration page. I've worked on this one for quite some time, and i'm pretty happy how it turned out, considering its one of my first oil paintings. The actual dimensions are about one and a half feet by two feet wide.
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year (if but a little belated), I'm hoping to keep the new art coming strong throughout the new year. Keep this spot bookmarked and check back often!
As always, comments are greatly appreciated, and requests are highly considered. Let me know what you think!
Hopefully i havent lost anyone since my last update, but i've finally got the hang of adding images and text, so you can be sure to see updates quite regularly. Be sure to email me with any suggestions you may have or even any illustrations you'd liek to see! Be sure to check out the newly updated Illustrations section, and keep an eye open for the updated Comic Art section to come in the next couple days! Be sure to come back often... the collection of images will continue to grow. Later!
Welcome back! This is my first independent site, featuring art by no one but yours truly! I have every intention of keeping this site updated, and I hope you enjoy my artwork. I expect anyone who has thoughts on the site to email me. And of course, if you're looking for freelance illustration work, contact me to get the ball rolling. Ciao!
