I keep most of my current work over at jonnyblur.blogspot.com

Where to Start? Married life has been great so far. Can't wait to see what 20 years brings us, anyways, enough with the mushy stuff. I had initially given myself 2 years to get ready to go public with my art but after hundreds of hours listening to audio books, studying the human anatomy, and sooo many sketch books. I think I am ready to show the world that I am an artist. I can now confidently draw my thoughts on paper. Thanks to Leonardo Da vinci's notebooks and Alex Rosse's amazing comics to inspire me. Without my wife I wouldn't be here so fast at all. Now im still studying, the pursuit of knowledge never ends but I will now be taking commissions. Speaking of Commissions I have been asked to draw an 11x17 Shera vs. Superman. that I'm really looking forward to.




I am open for Commissions, and my prices I believe are pretty reasonable. Please allow 1 week for completion and the shipping fee is in the costs of the overall project. Here are the prices.



8.5x11 / no Color - 10.00

8.5x11/ Color - 15.00

11x17/ no Color - 100.00

11x17/ Color - 125.00

Sketch cards - 10.00 ( that includes color and non color )



These are the prices for licensed( superheroes, cartoons etc ) characters.



For Concept Art that you have full rights to - 75.00 b/w only.



Well check back for more updates soon, I hope all is well,

So last week I started this long journey into redefining my art style. I'm finishing up the basics of the body now. I'm reading Michael Hampton's- Figure Drawing - Design and Invention and have broken that book into weeks for my learning. Looking back I needed those fundamentals in order to proceed and advance as an artist. It kind of sucks because it's so easy to learn and I was so suck in my ways and being stupid. Anyways, my fundamentals are getting better. Dynamic poses are coming along. Later when I feel as if there are some worthy sketches I will post them. well ladies and gents until that time. I will talk to you later. Have fun creating.

My goals everyday for artistic development:

-Basic Understanding ( 26 weeks )

150 of the same body parts for 14 days. Repeat until mastery of all body parts are mastered.

2 -3 hours of Theory and philosophy

2 hours of understanding space

1 hour of studying values

I decided that in three years ( im quitting 25 right now )and just going for it. Since I don't have the money for proper classes, the decision was the expand on the basics of anatomy. 75 rib cages ( men and women ) from all directions and light sources for 2 weeks each, So unfortunately in that time, I won't be posting anything but those on DA to break this nasty 2d habit. Im going to go nuts like this for 3 years. I want to be a master, im totally engulfing myself in art. The real world is ok but I'd rather live inside my head.  Im so inspired by all my friends on DA, in my mind they truly are the best.

Let's get to work.
