ImagineFX article

I got the opportunity to do another workshop article for the folks at ImagineFX a few weeks ago - it's in Issue #54, check it out! I think that means it'l be in stores here in the U.S. in a month or so. It also has a sweet Adam Hughes cover which makes me a little embarrassed to be in the same issue.

Here's the painting itself.

Use Google Reader!

Google reader is awesome. A lot of amazing artists these days have blogs (and most are way better than this one). Collecting those in one place is a great way to follow what others are doing and keep yourself inspired. I add at least a couple new blogs to my Reader list each week.

Seriously, as an artist you owe it to yourself. Here is just a small sampling of the folks I stalk follow with Reader. And if you have some good blogs to recommend, post in the comments!

(Most of the time you can just paste the link into Reader and it'll find the RSS feed. Many sites also have feeds available for news and updates even if they aren't a blog per se. As a general rule, any time I find an interesting source of ongoing content, I try to add it to Reader.)
