I had a small, off-screen part in a small, indy movie that just came out, called "Document: On The Run." Even got an IMDB credit for it, which is kinda cool haha. Also started work on my 27th audiobook yesterday. Yay!
I'm a 46 year old who has been drawing off and on his whole life. Got much more heavily into art about 8 years ago, while suffering from severe depression/anxiety problems, as a way to keep my mind focused and on something positive.

Well, since I've been getting fairly steady, paid voice-over work for the last 9 months or so, I finally took the plunge, and ordered the Neumann TLM-103 condenser mic. This is a big boy in the industry. Hoping it will lead to even better jobs. Fingers crossed!!

Hey everyone, haven't posted on this site in a while. I'm happy to report my voice-over career is really picking up. I just got my 14th non audiobook professional job, and have completed 24 audiobooks to date. Still been doing quite a bit of artwork and animation, but I don't always post it on this site, cuz people can be pretty critical and mean haha. Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!

Since upgrading to the new Mac OS, the Corel Painter version I was using, X3, is now totally unusable. So I've been debating on whether or not to go back to the previous OS, or upgrade to the newest Painter. Just don't know if I want to spend the money. Has anyone else upgraded from X3 to 2016? And if so, do you recommend the jump?
I haven't been able to get much in the mood for anything artistic the last few weeks, which is always disheartening. I hope this passes soon. It happens sometimes, then passes, and I get back to business. Anyway, hope everyone has started their new year off well and is getting some good art-work done =)

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I had big plans for art projects in November/December, but Fallout 4 has seriously gotten in the way of that =) I'll be back at the art projects soon, though, because I've been jonesing for some drawing the last few days. Is anyone doing any Holiday themed projects?
Posted by Matsuemon - November 2nd, 2015
Well, I didn't have enough mental energy to do another Halloween project, after I got done with the animation, but that's ok. I think I've figured out my art projects for the rest of the year: a portrait of J.K. Rowling, a husky puppy portrait (awwwwww!), a fall and winter landscape, and a secret Christmas animation project =) Is anyone else doing any Holiday-themed projects?

Well, my Halloween animation project is coming along nicely. Already have all the backgrounds done, and a few seconds of animation finished. Everything is going smoothly so far. On the downside, more really hot weather coming this coming week. LAME! Bring on fall =)

So, I'm really not a fan of summer. At all. And since this has been a particularly hot summer already, I can think of only one thing to do, to keep my mind off it and not be totally grumpy. That's right, I'm planning out my Halloween art projects. I'll do a portrait of either Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Jr. or Boris Karloff. I'm also planning two animations, so that's why I want to get started early. Those things can take a while. Wish me luck!
