My best friend went to the Kubert school. I went for an interview with Joe also. He was very nice and told me a funny anecdote about the cartoonist Gahan Wilson. He was also very blunt with the analysis of my work. I got accepted but ended up attending the San Francisco Art Institute for a fine arts degree instead. Sculpture. Anyway my friend, Dave, was freelancing for a while as an illustrator in New York after he graduated. Unfortunately he Developed Schizophrenia in his mid twenties. He was found dead in San Diego about 6 years ago. I used to draw comics too in my late teens/early twenties. I can't really link much to show because most of my pen and ink stuff isn't on the web right now or is 'pornographic' in nature. Here's a couple that are safe though...

I kind of drifted away from drawing comics into the realm of painting, but the comic aesthetic played a role there as I became really interested in outsider art, lowbrow painters, and the more iconic paintings of the early northern renaissance. Ended up applying my drawing skills in ceramic work loosely associated with California "funk" ceramics, pop surrealism, and the pattern and decoration movement. Now I'm trying to hone my skills with 3d modeling too. It's another case of finding my way into a medium via the marginalized outskirts I guess. Have to admit that I can draw and sculpt a hell of a lot more intuitively with traditional media than digital. Whatever though, I've caught the bug. I seem to keep growing in my knowledge and ability to express ideas with the medium so I guess I'm on an ok path. Have to admit that the 'art making with someone else's content' aspect of this particular cg corner is becoming a little problematic. I can understand from a directorial or photographic perspective wherein assets are just facets and expedients of a larger picture, not the emphasis. Not so much from an artisan perspective and my tendency for isolated minutiae. I could go on at length about my thoughts on these things but I'm getting tired, and who cares bout that stuff anyway? ;)
