Befores & Afters

Started a new portfolio blog/gallery thing. New post a day, showing elements that went into a particular piece of artwork. Plus the final piece.

Updating... Updating...

Been busy! But gotta get busier... Looking for more work. Tweaked the resume a little. Will continue the updates and posting about them here!

Meantime, Cotswold Collectibles has added a Facebook page. They've posted 3 albums of my work for them, Ads for Lee's Toy Review, Ads for Sci Fi Magazine, and Catalog Covers... So go check 'em out!

New Magazine Ads

Lee's Toy Review #204, and the February 2010 Sci-Fi...

MySpace

After I shoo these kids off my lawn I'll get my Facebook page established. Meantime, I keep my MySpace site updated with the latest Cotswold Catalog covers, and so does the official Cotswold MySpace (which I started up for them)...

Magazine Ads

More for the Cotswold Collectibles section! Currently we consistently advertise in Lee's Toy Review and Sci Fi Magazine. And I created 1 ad for WWII History (the Twisting Toyz ad -- other Cots ads you might see in there aren't done by me).

As mentioned earlier in this blog, many ads are re-purposed catalog covers. Some, however, are originals, sometimes imagined as Generic ads that could be sent off, if time's crunchy, A.S.A.P. with little to no customization.

I've found Lee's at Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million, and Sci Fi in most any shop/newsstand...

New Painting

Just added her to my Oil Paintings section.  Not sure I got the mouth right...   

Miscellany

My DJ alter-ego DJ Boffo's album Beefy dropped today... into the Miscellaneous section of my résufolio.  (I can't decide whether beefy droppings sound tasty or hideous, so I'm leaving it as worded for now.  Please feel free to chime in!)

It's 16-tracks of, some would say, predominantly J-Pop drag queen music, tho I insist there's a variety of sounds.  It's all done with Apple's free Garageband software, using dozens of different musical loops and beats.  For more insight, please see its Liner Notes.

(The burnt CD album cover artwork was an experiment of mine, involving a microwave and a fire extinguisher.)
