New blog location

I've decided to go back to school and finally have the means of hosting my own blog. Therefore, this site is officially retired. My new blog is at http://arsomme.com/blog/. Thanks for looking, see you after the jump.

God Bless,

This is the first painting I've done in a long time. I'm pretty excited about it. Enjoy.

Alternate Cover Letter

You only have so much time to catch attention... though this version is more crammed. Its already at 10 point text, and 9 point wouldn't kill anyone, but its definitely hitting the lower limits of type size. I do like that the business card is in place of the signature until you remove it. Thanks Wendi.

Self Promo

I have been updating my self promotion material to send to employers. It includes a personalized envelope, cd case cover, cover letter, business card, and cd label. The cd has my resume and Electronic Portfolio on it. If you have a moment I need feedback on it... I've been looking at it for too long. But I am pretty satisfied with the upgrade. I think it will help out substantially in the long run.

The biggest question I have is about the cover letter. It greets them personally with a big Hello, but you have to flip it over to read the actual letter. Does this seem like the most natural solution?

Again, any feedback I can get would be amazing. Thanks!

Anatomy Class

I have been trying to learn anatomy in a detailed fashion to be able to construct the figure from imagination. It will be a pretty big task, but a huge pay-off. I am starting from the ground up, using Rubin's Anatomy for Artists. I am beginning with more "medical" type strict drawings, and moving out to more expressive and dynamic posing and foreshortening.

I am starting with the skeleton. I started at the rib cage and moved out to the pelvis and skull. I ended with the limbs, and started putting it all together. The pelvis has been the most difficult, as its shape is pretty difficult to grasp for the purpose of memorization.

I'm going to start working on moving my blog over to my actual domain.  I will have considerable more control (I hate that I can't lay things out properly on here...) and will be going into more depth. If that happens I will keep this blog up for reference for a while, but will eventually remove it and provide a link to the new domain blog.
