New print available - His Life 2007-05-16 23:09:00 Just announce a new painting is available
for for print purchase. Late 2006 I was commissioned by new company called Heirloom Christian Arts. It was a complete pleasure working with Camilla Raymond on the project which gave my ample time, creative freedom and generous compensation to create the new painting based on a one inch high piece of jewelry. I transform the message and detail into a 24" x 36" painting using a relatively new medium called Chroma Atelier Interactive Acrylics. It's an acrylic paint that allows you keep it wet on the surface on your painting for much longer than conventional acrylic paints. This gives way to an oil painting look without all the harsh mediums of oils and using water as thinner. I loved the process! I even made a step-by-step demo of the process for my Materials and Techniques II class at SCAD-Atlanta. If you would like to get a PDF of the step-by-step process please email me. The painterly feel and hand done look is a little different from most of
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Movie backgrounds 2007-04-07 17:18:00 It was well over two years ago when Art Director, Bob Pettitt, contacted me to see if I was interested in doing some movie backgrounds for this movie. At that time I had never heard of Adult Swim much less Aqua TeenHungerForce
. The show and movie is admittedly not for everyone and it's main target market is teenagers who like dark alternative, and crude humor. So be forewarned! Anyway, all they needed were some layered Photoshop backgrounds that they could mess with to create scenes for this 15 min Adult Swim show into a full length movie. Over all I did 7 backgrounds for my first movie art experience. Well, I had to keep it quite until now. With the many delays and postpones of the premier it now finally here and I can show the stuff I did on the web. I'm going to be attending the ultra exclusive movie premier on April 9th right here in Atlanta and the Plaza Theater. I'll try my best to not trip on the red carpet (it was green carpet actually) and smile for the deluge of paparaz
On the cover and inside my alma mater 2007-03-09 21:04:00 This month I am proud and honored to be featured not only on the cover with one of my illustrations but on the inside
with a one page article about me in LaGrange College's Alumni Magazine - Columns. I graduated with a BA from LaGrange College, LaGrange, GA, in 1992. Studying there played a huge part in who I am today. Majoring in Drawing & Painting and Graphic Design, in a liberal arts college, I learned the base set of skills that made this illustration for the cover. Even though this cover was not originally done for Columns, the Editor, Dean Hartman and Designer, Stacy Jackson, thought it would be appropriate subject matter and concept for this issue. I originally did this for PTO Today magazine in 2003. I tweaked the layers a bit so the Stacy could separate the people on the inside spread. What's even more interesting is that I was found by the creators of Columns from the LaGrange College alumni website where this very blog your are on right now is listed as one of the blogs Read more:alma mater

America Freedom to Fascism Authorized version 2006-12-02 12:46:00 Please visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com to purchase the DVD. This is the "Director's Final Cut" authorized version
of Aaron Russo's documentary, America
: Freedom
To Fascism
(AFTF). It is being uploaded to Google Video for the first time during the evening of October 19-20th, 2006. Aaron has listened to everyone's feedback - volunteers, students, lovers of freedom & liberty, young and old alike - and, true to his word, he is putting this up "for free" on Google Video knowing that the hour has come for Americans to either be awakened to restore the Republic or be swept aside by the dark global forces of fascism that seeks to enslave mankind. AFTF's main focus comes in a statement with six very simple words: SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM!! After viewing the movie, please be sure to visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com where you will soon be able to view a much higher quality "pay per view" Internet version of AFTF, buy the DVD and sign up as an affiliate
ZEITGEIST the movie 2007-06-29 10:19:00 Throughout my life I had come to realize that I'm a skeptic and don't usually take things at face value. I like to look all the sides myself in order to determine what opinion or stance I have on something. I form my opinions based on facts, logic and reason. Not by solely based on what other people tell me, what I observe in the media, what a leader of a religious organization or political group tells me, or what I was brought up on. This movie
sums up some of the things that I have been thinking about lately. I'm not saying it's true or false, just another view point that I look at to determine what opinion I have observing the world around me. Truth is not told, it's realized! Watch this with an open mind. It's easy to dismiss, but sometimes the truth hurts. This is a link to a full 2 hour movie non-profit movie about the connection of world religions, 9/11, and the Federal Reserve as it mainly pertains to the USA. It called the ZEITGEIST. It's completely legal to view online
