work's kicked into the next gear, but I still found time to do some fan-art! Also, I'm attending the Dallas conceptart.org workshop this weekend if anybody who reads this thing is going.

Ninja Mountain Podcasts

Hey ya'll,

I stumbled across the blog

"Ninja Mountain Scrolls"

who are a loose collective of sci-fi, and fantasy illustrators. They do weekly-ish podcasts, where they interview artists, and have panel discussions about process, promotion, jobs, etc. There are plenty of gems to pick up from the talks, so I'm passing them along. I love the idea of artists getting together to discuss work flow, subject matter, technique, favorite pizza places, you know...

take care,

-Tamte

Howdy,

The move went well, I've got a new space to do work in, and it's pretty killer. I dunno if it's illegal to take photos and show ya'll, but I will post some soon, if possible.

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day while I was drawing some of the images below. It went something like this....

pajamas

first kiss

Brandon: "you know, I'm sure this makes sense to you, but I have no idea whats going on. Like why are there jellyfish by that boy and girl kissing"
I: "well....I mean....thats two little girls kissing, not a boy and a girl"
Brandon: "(laughter) lesbians"
I: "They're just experimenting"
Brandon: "so, why are there jellyfish?"
I: "I dunno, I figured for your first kiss sometimes there are fireworks...well maybe it's different if it's two girls"
Brandon: "...right"

I've never felt more crazy. I mean, honestly how I am supposed to know!?! It's possible.....makes perfect sense to me

:(
