deviantART 10th Anniversary
August 31, 2010
On August 7th, 2010, I was asked to put on a 45 minute Photoshop session on how I create my artwork for the deviantART 10th anniversary. deviantART is an art community I have been a part of for 10 years.
You can see a 25 minute video here.
Heading out to LA!
We arrived at the House of Blues just around noon.
We had to hang outside for a little while before we decided to just let ourselves in.
Things were still being setup when we got inside.
This is the room where I put on my Photoshop session.
My good friend David and I trying to figure out their projector, the House of Blues only had VGA out and our laptop did not have VGA in, so we opted to use the wireless feature of the projector, which was worked really well.
This is me wondering what the hell I am going to make/say once the clock hits 4pm.
I decided to warm up by creating my version of an abstract dinosaur. This is Abstractosaurus.
Getting some images ready for my introduction.
Consulting with David some more, making sure everything is good to go.
I am first to go up!
My nametag.
So I start, and the audience is captivated.
The room was packed!
This was about when I was ending the session. I mostly just created and talked very rarely. I really wanted to finish something in my 45 minute timeslot, but I had only begun to scratch the surface of what I was going to create.
Angelo Sotira stopped by later in the night while I was still working. We had some good laughs. I'm being told I was pretty wasted in this picture, I don't believe it.
After about 4 hours of work this is where I was with my creation. Still so far from what I would end up with.
This is me getting a personal demonstration of ArtRage from Uwe Maurer of Ambient Design, he was an awesome guy, and even bought me a beer.
Ryane (my fiance) and Lee (another good friend) hang out while Uwe's co-worker snaps a photo of us.
Once everyone leaves I dive right back into my work, I think I look like this the whole time I create. It's like I am trying to solve a really hard puzzle.
A very close to final look of what I created after about 8 hours of work.
The ride home, gotta love LA traffic at midnight...

Treason!
August 20, 2010
Another new piece! This was created live at the recent deviantART 10th Birthday Bash at the House of Blues in Hollywood. I put on a 45 minute session which was basically the beginning of this work. You can see a 25 minute video here. I spent another 5 hours or so after my session working on it, then another hour at home adding the finishing touches.Download it from the gallery!
Anchor!
August 06, 2010
My latest work is now available to download!Anchor was created just a few nights ago as I was getting my creative juices flowing for the DeviantArt party that's happening this Saturday in Los Angeles at the House of Blues (more info here).
I will be putting on a live 45 minute Photoshop session explaining all of the techniques used to create this piece. Although I will be creating something completely different. Please come out if you live in the area!
Watch Me Create Live!
July 23, 2010
DeviantArt is having their 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on Saturday, August 7th. I will be putting on a 45 minute Photoshop session about how I create my artwork. I am going to be creating something original in front of the audience!
I have never created something on the fly in front of anyone, let alone an audience, this is really going to be a very unique event.
The show kicks off at 2:30pm and my session begin at 4pm. The party ends around midnight. Tickets are about $20.
Of course there will be way more stuff going on besides my Photoshop session, read all about it here.
Come out and watch me do my thing!
