DOCMA Photoshop Magazine Feature – 5 Page Spread

Sep 20, 2012

Back in January of 2012, I was featured in DOCMA Photoshop Magazine in Germany. It’s strange but this being my best interviewed feature to date totally slipped my mind and never got posted on my blog. It was a five page spread and sort of in story form about me but it’s in German and although I have the PDF files for all five pages, Google Translate is totally useless. It makes no sense what so ever. Anyhow, I wanted to get it up on my blog since I failed to do so nearly nine months ago, duh. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

My Golden Ticket – Governor Bobby Jindal (WIP)

Jun 29, 2012

I’ve been real busy with a lot of new things lately and I have slacked bad on my blog posts so I have a few things to share with you tonight. I was honored to have recently been featured on Media Tapper for the one year anniversary of Google+. I told a short story about my experiences with Google+ so far and how it all began with “My Golden Ticket“. Wow, it’s crazy. I just rolled over 155,000 followers on Google+ and it’s growing fast. Not bad for the first year. I was also voted into the top 3 artists on Google+ in a Media Tapper pole this week. Check out the article as well as the others who wrote about their experiences. You may change your views on Google+ if you’re not there yet. There are some really great stories.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal Work In Progress (WIP)

Above is a quick liquify sketch of the caricature of our own Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal. He’s gotten himself into a little hot water lately so I thought I would do a little local political satire. I’m in the process of building a full situational satirical manipulation so I thought I would give you a peak at the subject. I think the latest headline read something to the affect of; “Cross Jindal Get Fired”. Apparently he’s going through pink slips left and right. This is an opportunity to test the waters here for a little local political stink. The overall situational manipulation is turning out pretty complex, maybe the most work I’ve ever put into one, so I will be working on it for at least 2 or 3 more days. Louisiana is known for having some shaky politicians, so we’ll see how this plays out. The original source image is below. The final product will use dozens of source images. I think this will be a fun one. I’ll probably tick a few people off. I just hope the big guy has a sense of humor. 🙂

225 Magazine Artist Feature – June 2012

Jun 4, 2012

I was featured in the June 2010 edition of a local hometown magazine called 225 Magazine in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was surprised when I got the request because this is the first local feature I have ever had. I’ve had many features done around the world but Louisiana is not my normal target audience. I was actually honored to be recognized in my own hometown because Baton Rouge is just not known for producing artists or art of any kind really. The majority of my business has been done in the UK, Germany and many other nations around the world as well as some work in New York and Hollywood. Please click on the image above to visit 225 Magazine online for the entire feature and if by some chance you happen to be local, you can pick the magazine up at nearly 300 locations in and around Baton Rouge, and it’s free. This feature is certainly not my best. It’s pretty short but I’m always humbled by and appreciative of any feature done on me. Oh, by the way, the picture of me was taken by a friend and brilliant artist by the name of Paul Roustan in New York recently. Google him. His work is amazing.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and be inspired!

My Portrait by Caricature Artist Russ Cook

Jan 16, 2012

Tonight I’m posting a portrait of myself done by a brilliant caricature artist and friend from the UK, Russ Cook. It’s an honor to have my portrait done by such a talented and accomplished artist as Russ. He did an awesome job especially considering what he had to work with. Thanks Russ! I’m also posting below a previous feature on Russ for those of you who aren’t familiar with his work. It’s just a small sampling of the work of this amazing artist. Be sure and visit the link at the bottom of the post to see his full portfolio.

The Amazing Work of Russ Cook

I’m re-posting a feature of one of my all time favorite artists and one of the most talented caricature artists in the world and one of my biggest inspirations. Russ Cook is a illustrator and caricature artist from Oxford, UK. He has a unique caricature style like nothing you have ever seen and can be viewed on his blog by clicking on the image above or the link at the bottom of this post. Cook pushes his caricatures to the absolute limit with exaggeration. His “morph” in his words is so extreme in some cases that you would think the subject would be rendered unrecognizable but no matter the amount of almost outrageous exaggeration, he manages to capture the essence of his subjects. A truly unique style of art is hard to come by but this artist’s work is like none other. His work will amaze and inspire you.

I would like to tell you more about this brilliant artist but he’s a modest man and it’s impossible to find a bio on him. I can however offer you an awesome interview with Russ Cook by VectorTutsPlus.com. You can also find links on his blog to more of his portfolio sites. Below you will find a very few of Cook’s works which will give you a taste of his incredible talent, but you will definitely want to visit his blog to get a better look at this diverse collection of works.
