Thanks very much! You’re too good. Sometimes I feel like my work suffers for not having a consistent method of working. When I make a digital painting, I combine emulating paint textures from the brush and then overlay a grainy texture that I’ve scanned in. Sometimes I start out traditionally with paint or graphite, then finish digitally. Right now I’m building a body of work that is solely traditional, so I like to work in and out of digital and traditional.

I redesigned my website and linked it (along with my twitter) to the side of this blog… check it out!
