I have spent the month in Printmaking doing monster girl pictures and have two others started for the next couple of projects. I intend to get these all scanned in the next couple of days. They didn't get uploaded sooner because they had to dry or were busy being acid-etched. I finished them last Monday and have been overwhelmed with other homework.

Grand Rapids, Michigan is hosting the world's largest art competition (or at least, the prize is the biggest.) It starts this Wednesday and goes to the 2nd of October.

I have entered my Vampire in Winter piece at Grand Lan and it's already hanging up.

Voting is online, which means even if you don't live around here, you can vote.

Registration started a few days ago, and can also be done online. You can vote multiple times.

Sign up at Artprize.org

1st place is $250,000 dollars.

I'll be spending the winning money on paying off my college bills and quitting my low-paying job to spend more time on my actual artwork and to move after I graduate in the next year. Also to pay my parents back for 21 years of wonderfully taking care of me.

Please vote for me, and get any of your friends involved too.

In my Sci-fi/Fantasy class, I am doing a crowd of robots with two girls poorly disguised in cardboard boxes and junk. I took my thumbnail sketch and decided to make it into a wallpaper as a blog exclusive.

I was commissioned over the last month to create two maps for Gaming Paper, a new product for tabletop role-players.

Yesterday it debuted a GenCon Indy and my maps were on display.
