Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho Caricatured – Signing
Mar 26, 2012
Tonight I’m posting three images of Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho taken by Photographer Marcos Borges from Odense, Denmark as he was presenting the caricature portrait I did of Mr. Coelho from a photograph taken by Marcos as a gift. Marcos also got the Writer to autograph two other matted copies for Marcos and myself. It should be on the way in the mail now. Looking forward to it. Below is the completed portrait and source image as well as an interview with Mr. Coelho.

The finished manipulated caricature of Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho. The original image was taken by Photographer Marcos Borges from Odense, Denmark. Marcos has plans to take the image to Mr. Coelho and get it autographed…actually two copies, one for each of us. I like guy’s features. He was a lot of fun. One of the few that went real fast. Below is the original source image.

Brazilian Novelist Paulo Coelho – WIP Sketch
Mar 12, 2012
Tonight I’m posting a work in progress (WIP) of Brazilian lyricist and novelist Paulo Coelho which I hope to have finished tomorrow. This is a quick liquify sketch to be used as reference for the final piece. The image below was taken by Photographer Marcos Borges from Odense, Denmark. Marcos has plans to take the image to Mr. Coelho and get it autographed…actually 2 copies, one for each of us. It will be cool to hang in my little gallery I’m growing in my house which consists mostly of art from my friends.

I lived through the webinar yesterday!
I made it through my first webinar through RetouchPro LIVE yesterday. I appreciate those of you who were able to get tickets and attend. I also want to thank all of you who couldn’t make it but have shown me so much support getting ready for this. You guys made it easy for me as did the owner and host Doug Nelson. It was lots of fun and I learned a lot. The next one will be much better and should be a blast. If you weren’t able to attend the webinar, Doug has made it available in his video archive for rental, so no excuse guys. You can watch it at your leisure. It is ready for viewing as of today on the Video Rentals Page on Doug’s site. You can also click the banner above to get to the rentals page. There will be many more to come with RetouchPro LIVE in the future so stay tuned. In fact, please take a moment to visit and bookmark my rental page on RetouchProLIVE.com. Thanks guys!!

Jerry Seinfeld ~ WIP and My Newest Feature
Sep 28, 2011
Tonight I’m posting a rough work in progress manipulated caricature of Jerry Seinfeld. Not sure why but I never did him and he seemed like a good subject. This is just a rough idea of what I’m going to do with this manipulation. The WIP is a cheesy 3D action I downloaded to see what it would do. Just playing around but I don’t think this will be part of my actions library and please don’t judge me by that or the slapped together image above. Speaking of which, I am recording some new actions with techniques I’ve been working on and experimenting with. At some point I will share these actions online.
I’m sure many of you have noticed the lack of posts recently. I’ve been really busy with several projects. One is my Google+ account. Google+ is growing at an astounding rate or at least it appears that way from my point of view. I gained approximately 2,000 circles in the past 24 hours bringing my circle count to 8,300+ to date. I’ve only been there about a month so it has been well worth my time. Not only have I gained over 8,000 new friends there, but I have picked up several jobs and made some incredible business deals. Do’t worry, I’m not abandoning my facebook friends. Between my two pages, I have 4,500+ friends there and every one of them is important to me. I promise you in the near future you’re going to see some wild new stuff. I picked up a couple of magazine covers there, a few commissions as well as more features both web and print, so there are lots of things happening. Stop by my Google+ page and put me in a circle.
I am also working on some magazine commissions as well as a load of interviews with various sites and publications; very time consuming but it’s part of what I’ve gotten myself into I guess. I’m working on a couple of deals right now with a publishing company and an imaging company about possibly getting into offering some affordable prints, maybe even posters. I was also contacted this week by the Brazilian Metal band Almah who want me to do a bunch of promotional material for their upcoming orchestrated tour. We’ve been in contact over this for about 6 months but they are ready now to proceed so that’s another really cool project coming up. On top of all of that, I was contacted a couple of days ago by a certain entertainer who wants me to do a load of work for him. This one is top secret so I can’t say who right now but he’s big and the project is going to be super cool.
Well, I’ve been feeling guilty about not getting posts up recently and I wanted to get something up for you tonight so this was a quick one. Oh, I totally forgot, I wanted to mention my latest interviewed feature which came out today on Desigg.com. There was a bit of a language barrier with this interview but I think you’ll get the idea if you read it. I’m very frank and matter of fact in this interview so you may find it interesting.
