Oohh yes, remember the 7200 PowerMac I had sitting in the LA studio? Maybe not. But, I donated it in 2005 while living in Las Vegas. It finally became to slow for internet use and I maxed out on RAM and hard drive storage for it. Those were some great times, in school, huh? Work on projects with no budgets and endless time spent on it. Too bad it…[Read more]

Oh, Robert, still the Mac Man! What happened to San Diego?

How are you all fairing? Running on my 3rd week of unemployment today. hoping to go back in the next month, but who knows?

Aloha! Unfortunately, I haven’t been back to Moscow since leaving in December 1998. I heard about all the changes on campus via my weekly Vandal email report. I lived in the LA studio, library and Art department’s McIntosh computer lab. Those PowerMacs were awesome!

Oldster alert….85 grad here.

Sorry I din’t mention it. The website was done using Squarespace.com as a content management application. It is kind of expensive but the control we have is wonderful. Just having control of the site, being able to update as we please is worth the $$ small site is about $9/mo ours is about $12. there is a free 30-day trial. if you decide to try,…[Read more]

I just got back from visiting the U of Idaho for the first time in 11 years. Lots of new (to me) stuff. I talked to Gary and Toru, but did not get back to see anyone else – lots of people to see outside of the U. Did see a few former employers (Frank Bennett and also Jon Decker) and some co-workers. …..and a lot of good friends in the region.

Anyway we can get some quick sketch technique (marker, colored pencil, pastel etc) and rendering tutorials on here ?

tim-

you bring up a good point..atmosphere is difficult to convey in hand drawn work. all I can think of at the moment is airbrush..

anyone know the best way to convey “god rays” in drawn perspectives? thanks

Hi James,
Actually, my professor introduced me to your work this past summer, my first semester in LA, and it was he who let me know about your rendering techniques and color usage. In fact, our first shot at perspectives involved 20 minute perspective-making sessions that aimed to emulate your graphics.
I could only hope that if he hadn’t told…[Read more]

Hi Vanessa; glad you’re having success with the colored pencil techniques. You have a good eye! I do use a cream pencil combined with peach on almost all buildings and hardscape at the very beginning of coloring a drawing, then wash over them with whatever color will best depict the material I’m envisioning…terra cotta, slate blue. etc. The…[Read more]
