Description
here the latest offering from the combined forces of WONDERFIST and THE INFAMOUS BE-MAGthis issues article in the 'how to be a ....' series is 'how to be a washed up pro rollerblader'. basically what happens when you get sponsored and then drink more and skate less....
not much to say really, it all makes more sense (esp compositionally) when the text is on there but im not allowed to post that up outside of the magazine. again, please go check out be-mag [link] and love up the best rollerblading magazine on the planet.
for those who were wondering the label on the bottle was a photomanip but the bottle itself is a painting so i could get the required glass distortion (or rather a close enough approximantion)
theres an odd little white line on the left of the bottle which is some sort of artifact from the jpeg process so pay attention class and DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT I ALREADY KNOW. i tried to get rid of it but photoshop isn't having any of it so just let it go kids, it won't be there on the print version i asuure you.

Nice work as always. It seem that with your latest pieces you have been adding more texture to them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thankyou. yes i have. whilst im not really one for drawing excessive amounts of detail i am pushing my limits with using textures at the moment - i mainly think in colour and atmosphere so this is exciting for me, and the opportunities you have with digital media mean you can really use anything you can scan or photo. i like to try and work as efficiently as possible (which is because of my animation training i think) so texutres allow me to get my point across quickly and fill large areas with relative ease, or create effects that you just couldn't feasibly do by hand unless you had months.
this is what happens when you get deadlines

hahah very sick man ... lol .. to me he looks abit like Shima
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha well i tried to make him look like everyone and no-one y'know? i wanted him to remind you of certain ppl but not actually BE anyone...cause that would be pretty snide. on the message board thread for this Petty is taking it pretty hard but i couldn't draw petty...its not his fault hes injured.
im pretty sure i could have draw brandon cambell and got away with it but you never know who you're gonna meet so i went for the anonymous roller
thanks again

yeah i see what you mean man...
but i have heard loads of random stuff about petty..
about him not rolling infront of cams and only skating at night kinda thing..
so i can see how poeple may see him as washed up..
i was reading another comment and you said something about Prints..
do sell Prints of these or any other peices of your work?
