Some kind of artists featuring ME


My former coworker and friend Dana Calabrese has a blog called "Some kind of artist" and she featured me along with other wonderful artists. Not all are digital artists, some are singers, photographers, or as she puts it "some kind of artist." She has me as a clothing designer for the work I've done for Branded Baron which is cool and I thank her for it. So, Dana I know you're reading this, Thank you!

The other artists are talented and Dana is as well. She's a very creative person and I think right now she's working in L.A. as a photo retoucher, but when she gets in her zone she creates some awesome work. I know she loves photography and she has fun when she works in photoshop as well. Definitely check out her blog, because there are some good posts on photography and art related stuff as well.

How To: Working With A Model


For all the photographers out there or any of you art directors/designers that are on shoot here are a couple tips from Expert Photography on how to work with models. How to find a model, discussing location, payment, and rules are mentioned. I disagree on them with signing the model release form after the shoot. I like to have the models sign the model release before the shoot in. I feel it locks them up and can prevent them from changing their mind, although it's rare if they do, but it's a precaution. Rules and boundaries are definitely necessary when working with a model, because if they're uncomfortable the photo won't come out and it can damage your business reputation. They mention collaboration create great photos and from my experience that does work.

365 Days of Creativity -Day 81-85

If you've been following this blog for some time, you would notice that I have a goal I call "365 days of creativity". I want to try and stay fresh whether it's sketching or creating full designs. I feel it's always good to see an idea of how other people work or sketches to help bring some inspiration on your own work. Lately, I wasn't able to post, so I'll be posting my daily project every week. I will say that it is not always easy to stay creative or be on top of this, because life can be so busy. I'm trying and trying to stay on top of it with new ideas.

As always, click on the picture to enlarge.

I have had this idea to have a diver diving into a galaxy in space, but I'm still trying to get the execution to come out right. Here is the picture I used, before I started to manipulate it followed by the execution.
