Today was my second day at my new job. It's pretty interesting. I have to start from the very VERY beginning in drawing. Trying a new approach and new techniques. For the couples hours that I was there, I had to throw away EVERYTHING I have learned over the years. It was actually pretty fun and refreshing.

I had a very interesting lesson from my boss. All I know is that I have a lot of learning to do and a lot to think about both as a person and an artist. I need to face my weaknesses in order to become stronger and I always needs to strive to push forward. One of the biggest things is to stay honest in my work and in my life. I wish I could remember what he said word for word, but I can't remember. I know for dang well that it made me think...

Anyways, here is some more artwork that I have done over the past 3 years (I think).

Enjoy!
