I don't usually make new years resolutions. However this year I have.

In 2012 I'm going to try and do at least 2 illustrations per week on my own time (i.e. not getting paid to do it). That's 104 illustrations if you care to keep track.

They only way to improve is to do it, lots. So that's the plan.

I'm open to suggestions / requests, just in case I should run out of subject matter ideas on my own (which is likely).

Did you make any artistic resolutions?

Happy New Year!

Hey fellow Canucks fans!

Would anyone be interested in buying art prints signed by myself and Towel Power Man? 100% of the proceeds would go to Canucks Place! If you are even slightly interested, please let me know - we're trying to gauge the interest.

They wouldn't be much too much, maybe $5-$10. Just enough to cover printing, shipping and make some money for the kids!

Here is a link to my 2011 Canucks Gallery: bleezer.deviantart.com/gallery…

What is Canucks Place? Canuck Place Children's Hospice provides specialized pediatric palliative care for children living with a life-threatening illness and support for their families throughout British Columbia. www.canuckplace.org/

Please help spread the word!

Cheers,
Matt

I got a new artist desk, and I love it. But now I need a new chair/stool because my current one is too short lol.

I also got a new video camera, I might start vlogging. Cool? Lame? Don't care?  

Hey soccer (football) fans! Ever seen a team come back from 3-0 with 18 minutes to go? with 2 goals in extra time? by the same player? I saw it live, it was INSANE!

I'm working on re-designing my personal website/portfolio. So you can look forward to that, you know if you want to.


I'm all over the internets...

Greetings fellow deviantARTists,

If your a fan of comic book art you're probably aware of J. Scott Campbell already. If you're not, then go check out his dA gallery! Do it right now - then come back and read this.

:iconj-scott-campbell:

As I write this he is doing a "Too Hot for Facebook" event. Why you ask? Because his amazing art is being flagged as inappropriate and banned from facebook.

His art is available for purchase not only online, but also at comic book shops, book stores, pharmacies and grocery stores across North America (and no doubt elsewhere). However, apparently some of his artwork shows too much skin for the gentil world of facebook.

Rapunzel FF 2011 - fav.me/d3aovbj
Warlord of MARS 4 Dejah Thoris - fav.me/d3am43u

In my opinion, there is nothing obscene about this artwork. This is nothing you can't see on primetime tv or in a PG-13 movie. Heck, I've seen just as much skin in some friend's vacation photos. Don't you have to be 13 to sign up for fb anyway?  If you walk into an art gallery you can see full nudity and any age can get in.

What's next? Banning his Spider-Man work because Parker's tights are a little too tight around the groin area?

This is the same facebook that allows applications that will tell you what kind of sexual lover you are, what sex position you should try or in which public place you should have sex. Porn stars and prostitutes have facebook pages, but this artwork is apparently too obscene.

Why should you care?

Right now this is just about Mr. Campbell. However, if you're an artist like I am, then you ought to be concerned that this is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This could develop into a disturbing trend of art censorship on facebook.

If you feel like doing so, I would encourage you to spread the word about this and even to contact facebook and express your concerns. Now it's almost impossible to contact facebook via facebook (weird I know) but you can send them a quick tweet! twitter.com/facebook (facebook).

Will they read them? I don't know, but it only takes a few seconds.

Cheers,
Matt

UPDATE: This harmless Spider-Man cover by J.Scott Campbell is one of 2 Marvel covers banned from facebook, and he received a 30 day suspension! That is ridiculous! Children can buy Spider-Man comics for crying out loud! People need to know what facebook is doing to artists! Spread the word!
