I am a 20 year old art student living in the southern U.S. I do mostly freehand abstract marker portraits of my friends. I love comic books and hope to some day work in the comics industry. I also love to do oil painting.

Check out my photography!

Started my first blog, Paisleypedia. It basically started by Nelj being bored and saying, "Paisleypedia, tell me about _______." That is, fill in the blank. She did not want to know about elongated underscores. At any rate, I usually wouldn't put much thought into the random definition I spewed out and the results, at least for us, were hilarious and resulted in many inside jokes. So, I'm two articles in and am hoping to gain some readership just, you know, for feedback and fun. Nelj comes up with a different article topic each day, I sit down without givng any prior thought to the subject and write. Much nonsense ensues. And then there are treats. Yes tasty treats. Read the fucker!

The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair

OMG, you go to the Kubert school?! I want to go sooooooo bad. I'm just not sure whether or not my work would translate very well. I've done a lot of other stuff besides what I post here, a bunch of charcoal and conte you know, realism and the like. So I know the anatomy pretty well but I have a hard time drawing from my head. I'm in this rut where I can either draw super realistic (or abstract) from life or I can do super cartoony, but I'm having such a hard time finding that middle ground where most traditional comics lie. What's it like there? Your work obviously reflects that it's a good school. Anyhow, keep up the good work!

It takes all kinds, and by that I mean different types of people with strong suits in different areas of art and illustration. I recommend the Kubert School for anybody that enjoys drawing, painting, inking, digital art, everything. We do plenty of life drawing, and you could flex your artistic muscles in that class for sure. The best part is, what ever you learn in that class, you can apply to assignments for other classes. They really all do go hand in hand. You get it all here, and all of the instructors are working pros who know what they're doing.
Before being accepted you must submit a portfolio and go through a couple interviews. As long as you're passionate about what you do and have a good head on your shoulders, you stand a very good chance of being accepted. Here's the website where you can contact the school about obtaining a brochure that explains the process better.

Thanks for the many kind words! It's the inspiration from people like you, out of the blue, that gives an aspiring pro the drive to keep chuggin' along! Best wishes in whatever you decide to do with your art in the future!
