UPDATE: Kate had to delay our podcast interview for a bit, due to continuing health problems. I'm still looking forward to the interview, when Kate is feeling better of course, and I wish her well until then.
In the meantime, thanks for the questions guys, keep 'em comin' if anything else occurs to you. I have had a few friends say that they 'don't have any good questions' and then go on to state several REALLY GOOD QUESTIONS that they COULD HAVE ASKED. LOL, come on guys, go ahead and ASK THEM, it's ALL GOOD!
I'm going to be doing an interview with Kate (BlueBeauty875), sometime soon. She has her very own Art podcast, check it out if you haven't already. If you have any questions you'd like to see me answer, please post them here as a comment, give me a note, OR drop them as a note HERE in Kate's inbox.
Possibilities:
1. How do you approach creating a good figure drawing or painting?
2. Why do you think tools like PENS are critical to learning how to draw well?
3. Do artists need to be neurotic to be really good?
4. Why do you really REALLY not like most modern and post modern art?
5. Why is Chunky Monkey your favorite Ben and Jerry's Ice-Cream?

What Time Tells...
So, I was painting Finding Nemo characters on the wall of the waiting room of my pediatrician's office and thinking... this is funny, how'd I end up here, doing this? All the time, all the years of hard work, and here I am... painting Disney/Pixar stuff on somebody else's wall. Dana took a picture and I uploaded it to my Facebook page and wrote "Yep, the degree I am working on is not an MFA... it's an MFN... a Master's of Finding Nemo degree!" And yet, even as I joked, I knew wouldn't trade anything of what I have. Here I am then, reminding myself that life is awesome... even when you're not doing exactly what you'd want to be doing... but, I
To be, or not to be, inspired...
My kid sister and I recently had an interesting conversation which involved inspiration and the important point I left with was this ~> don't go looking to be inspired, BE INSPIRING!
Too many of us, myself included at times, are constantly scouring our friends, the internet, our world, etc, looking for something inspiring... we want to feel that invigoration, a new found motivation, the hope of a brighter day and tomorrow. I understand, most of us do, we really get it at a gutt level... but, is looking for inspiration the best way to find it?
Have you ever had a friend say "I'm bored," "this is boring," or mention that another person is "bo
My first thoughts after my first term at SCAD...
SCAD is an incredibly work oriented school, with the MFA program being that much more involved, and it moves quickly! If you want to get the most out of this place, which you should if you are even going to bother paying the tuition, you really do have to devote yourself to a full artistic immersion. Anything less would be a waste. This term had a slew of problems and challenges for me and my family... and at times I really thought I might not make it. But, with a lot of love and faith and hard work, *we* managed to get very good grades. Even now, I am shaking my head and thinking, I surely hope next term is not this tough... and yet, I know
SCAD Bound!
It is official, I am headed to Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) to work on my Master's Degree in Fine Arts (MFA), specializing in Sequential Art (Graphic Novels, Comics, Storyboarding, etc). Since my last semester working on my BFA, a degree in painting and drawing, I have been wanting to go to SCAD.
At first, I did not even know what SCAD was, but when I told a classmate of mine, another artist here on dA, naruto-sexy-no-jutsu (https://www.deviantart.com/naruto-sexy-no-jutsu), what I wanted to do she replied "You're gonna go to SCAD!!" ...and, well, she was right! See my original journal post "SCAD is MAD!" here: http://rawren.deviantart.com/journal/14873909/
Since that time
