Josh and I are old pals and it’s amazing what he’s doing here in the Phoenix art community. He puts on art shows out of his house and invites a dozen or so amazingly talented artist friends of his to put something on display. <a href="http://www.subtletakeover.com/blog/2013/2/10/the-illustrious-illustrator-show-illshow13-recap.html" title="Illustrious Recap!" target="_blank">Check out the wrap-up-write-up here!</a></p> <p>I opted to do something a bit different than my usual character driven stuff and went with some cool industrial factory type buildings going deeper underground. I always get excited at a chance to do a piece that is built from other pieces. Repetition just soothes me. Nothing conceptual, just an aesthetic experiment that I’m happy with. I enjoy looking at it still!</p> <p>Thanks again to Josh for the show and the photo!</p>http://dtafm.com/post/44068912612http://dtafm.com/post/44068912612Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:02:00 -0700Artists on Tumblrartistartdigital colordigital drawingdigital artIllustrationillustratorphotoshopvectorbrushestexturedtexturecanvasprintedprintmountedmountscrewssquarestryptic3stackedstacklayeredlayersindustrialvolcanoeruptgraphic art<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d0747e8b997e813a6cfb5aaf0f2656f3/tumblr_migfbpXkEm1rql84qo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7961333fba1644df11c4220ad4de90eb/tumblr_migfbpXkEm1rql84qo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/739f5fe37c4d283385f2927c2f51a9f7/tumblr_migfbpXkEm1rql84qo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/79c2d6e68d42e11cd7b687315375a2dd/tumblr_migfbpXkEm1rql84qo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>SHAMAN TORTOISE // DTAFM // TUMBLR WEDNESDAY</strong></p> <p>I finally lucked out and scored myself a mindblowingly awesome <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QQ7BG0/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" title="MSP19u">MSP19u</a>.
