All it took was a push....

2012-02-13T10:19:00.000-08:00

I have had a creative block for over a year now. I finally seems to have broken. I owe it to my clients... for coming up with images they wanted me to build. This has opened a flood gate of new projects for me and once again I feel alive! Whoo hoo! Above is a sample of one such project. This is just one character in a crowd of over 25 people in an image that will hang in Ramunto's Brick Oven Pizza in Williston, VT.

New Book Teaser

Sometimes an Artist wants to create and is stymied by "whatever". Some call it Artist Block. It can be extremely frustrating, to have the motivation without the inspiration or vice versa. I had taken some time away from my art hoping that will help. I have even seeked help from fellow artists and from any info I could find either through books or the internet. Everything I have read or heard has recommended to just stop pushing so hard, relax and just create and perhaps things would begin to flow again. Well, I am not sure for how long, but I am beginning to once again feel the ebb and flow of creativity. I will be changing direction a bit. Still cartooning, but with a mix of storytelling and my own music. The teaser image above will most likely be from my first release. I hope to announce within the next three months a video children's book titled I.C. Britches, a different kind of Snoman on YouTube.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All

Man, I couldn't believe the details Da Vinci puts into this image... This was really kind of a study... I never new she rested her arms on a book... what was the book? How'bout the countryside in the distance? I never really saw it until I did this reworking of it. I have a whole new perspective now. Thanx Leo.

Dino-Mite Name Changed

2009-07-14T12:40:00.000-07:00

Before it even started I struggled with the name "Dino-mite"... I just kept hearing J.J. Walker saying it and it did not seem to fit the direction for "my Dinosaurs". I am much happier with the new name and logo. This will appear on the back of my cards and without "greetings" on any collection of cartoons I may get published. Myk
