This is a cool website for rec sports in Niagara!

Awesome!

Our lives have never been more packed with large amount of information. A person can quickly become consumed and overwhelmed by everything that is going on around them. Work, home, health… they all deal with information, they have tasks associated with them – it really is information overload and the stress of it all can lead to a certain meltdown.

So I’m trying to figure out a personal workflow. A way of managing everything and actually getting things done.

My art professor has created another masterpiece.

Recently I came across a great website for storing snippets of information in the cloud.

CirrusNote is a simple and effective tool for storing images and text.

Another five minute sketch completed!

I recall a DVD set I once bought about how to sketch humans using various formula’s. I think I should dig that out and put it on my iPod. If I can find the references I’ll post a link but they were very good albeit long and repetitive, which is what we need here in order to achieve a top-notch result in five minutes.

Drawing of Superman's Portrait

I drew this sketch of Superman this morning based on a sketch of Christopher Reeve on Wiki. The interesting thing is that the drawing reminds me of Tom Welling. This means I’m on the right track in getting the key characteristics of a Superman type person.

I have decided that my first drawing of superman was too cartoonish for my liking. I want something closer to reality for my version. Two things to note on this drawing, the eyebrows and the mouth. The eyes need focus, maybe the slanting in of the brows gives that – like an Eagle stalking a prey. And the mouth needs to be gentle, soft spoken. It’s the combination of several features that give Superman his look.

One of those inspirational images of all time. We can’t even imagine how small we as we sit and read this insignificant blog post.
