So, if you want to see some of my horrible, older work. Go here:

http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12191

The thread is dead. I don't think folks are getting past the first page. But, if anyone new guys want some inspiration it is definitely good for that.


Some older work that I actually like. Stealing it from my old thread.



All right...enough of the blast from the past.



So, I have been doing nothing but painting in oils and drawing for the past year it seems. That was why I left here...I apologize for bailing on you guys.

I can't wait to start going through the sketchbook threads and catching up with you guys. I missed ya.
