But seeing as how I have an art show coming up, I need to really get back at the whole art for at least 3 hours a day. I really wish I didn't have to work, then I could have time to sell art, and teach it, or even just do more of it and learn as much as possible.... C'mon lottery, send a lucky ticket my way! Anyways before I start working on the 3 or 4 paintings for the show, i'm going to warm up by finishing some of the old work I never got around to. So i'll be posting a bit more often ( I HOPE! ). By the way I am always open to commissions, so send some e-mails to my e-mail listed, or to jamie@jmarkusart.com - you can also reach me on AIM @ <i>MarkusMan16</i><br /><br /><center><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/new/WebsiteImages-blogger-/001Monster_wip1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/new/WebsiteImages-blogger-/MLink_WIPmonster1.jpg" border="0" alt="Creature Concept WIP#1"></a></center><br /><br /><b>December, 2008</b><br />-------------------<br />12.1.08<br />Holy Sh*t, it's been like 7 months since i've updated my website... Well I have been in sort of an artistic slump, and havent drawn much. However, since then, i've started dating the most amazing girl I have ever met in my life. My whole outlook on life has been changed for the better, and thus, more inspiration to draw! Tonight I will be adding a few more pages to the site; Sketches, and Figure Studies. For those who do not wish to rummage through the pages to find out whats new, here are the thumbnails for the art i've added. Enjoy!! :)<br /><br /><center><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/ftype1shadowWIP-2.jpg"><img border="0" alt="My Lab;Shadow" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/shadowwipt_01.jpg"></a> <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/ftype1figsketch01-1.jpg"><img border="0" alt="Figure Sketch" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/figsketcht_01.jpg"></a> <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/ftype1figstudy01-1.jpg"><img border="0" alt="Figure Study, Nude, Mini-style" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/figstudyt_01.jpg"></a></center><br /><br /><b>June, 2008</b><br />-------------------<br />6.2.08<br />Well finally a decent update in my gallery... I uploaded a couple concepts, and a few drawings in the animal catagory, I also got some more art uploaded to my computer, and formatted for the site, which I will try to upload soon. Enjoy the new work!<br /><br /><br /><b>May, 2008</b><br />-------------------<br />5.17.08<br />Heres just a little something I think you would all like. Of course the newer image is a WIP, but still my progress shows. Of course 7 years is a long time... but, whatever im done talkin, just check it out!<br /> <center><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/00-07_progress.jpg"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/be17/00-07_progress.jpg" border="0" alt="7 Years of Progress" width="150" height="120"></a></center><br /><br /><b>April, 2008</b><br />-------------------<br />4.13.08<br />Not updating just yet, but im just posting to let you all know im still alive. I have been drawing, painting, sketching, and whatever else-ing my ass off! Nowadays time is of the essence... A couple days ago I got a new full time job, and my old full time job will be part time. So I will be working around 60-70 hr. workweeks! Yikes... But this means I can finally save up for art school! And I can blow some money on lots and lots of new art supplies too! With this new job I get an hour off at 12 or 12:30 for lunch, so I will use that time to draw draw draw. Mostly in my sketchbook though, however I think im goin to be adding a sketchbook page, so you guys can see what I doodle throughout the weeks. Hopefully I will stop neglecting my website, and you will all have something to look at more often! Enjoy, and CHEERS!<br /><br /><b>February, 2008</b><br />-------------------<br />2.7.08<br />First update of 08, its been a while... Lots of life things have been keeping me from my art. Update today, a self portrait in the portraits section, and a creature design in the conceptual section.

If you cannot artwork on this main page, look at the right side of the site. There are links to the seperate galleries. I advise you to use the links anyways, to make sure you don's miss updates... When I update the gallery I will make a new post as well, to inform you.<br />Tonight I added 3 self portraits, with once actually in pencil from 2 years ago when I was 17... awww.JLMarkushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02980046021556186149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7528740339898068353.post-6644117019288562532007-10-24T05:51:00.000-04:002007-10-24T05:55:51.285-04:00₪Tattoo ApprenticeGoing to start working on tatto designs and im gonna try and do a few pages, like 5-6. I go in to a tattooo shop tomorrow to have my portfolio reviewed, as I may become a tattoo artist for a career, at least until I can save money to go to school for concept art! I'm in no rush for goin to school for concept art, I actually think im going to enjoy tattoing, once I start 2 or so years from now... Haha.
