Still very excited about this. Actually it's a speedpainting from scratch, without reference material. I just started with a very small thumbnail sized sketch on a piece of paper. With a couple of standard brushes I started to draw the contours on an empty canvas in Photoshop. Now that the composition is almost definite, I'd still like to add more detail.
But at least the 15 minutes of stage one became a very important eye opener for me. I realized that I'm being able to sculpt anything I want to from an empty canvas again, like I was being able to in my childhood years just with an old pencil or ballpoint and a piece of paper. Besides the art of sketching logos on paper, Ironically I seem to have lost pretty much of these drawing skills since I became a graphics designer. Anyway this quick and dirty draft probably is one of the most important artistic breakthrough I've had throughout this year.
Another nice thing that pops into mind is that my 4y old daughter seems to have inherited at least some of the artistic abilities. Like a lot of kids she's always drawing. In fact, when she noticed the bare contours of this digital painting she pretty much understood were I was going to. I also noticed that she'd never be down in the dumps during a long or even a very short car trip. I've never seen a kid sitting in a car for a few hours without being bored to death. No matter how often we went out by car during our vacation, she just took her pencils and a sketchbook and started to draw pretty much uninterruptedly, without paying attention to the beautiful rolling mountain scapes presented from all directions :)
For now I'm running out of time, but I'll continue to paint in more detail and keep close attention to the light and its direction. Of course I'll post the final result when it's been finished.
Anyway, thanks for viewing. Please keep in mind that this still hasn't been finished yet, but in the meantime I just wanted to share my excitement with you guys :P

Classic shit!
Spotted this rolling by and snatched a photo of it. Minutes later the train stopped ahead and paused as they switched the tracks so the train could change direction. Upon noticing this I decided to run up to where the train was waiting to get a photo of this with my Holga 120N. As I come around some parked freights I came across a cop. He was actually pretty cool. He just wanted to know why I was running along side of a train with a couple of cameras. After a short talked, emptying my pocket, checking my record... I was set free. There wasn't any "no tresspassing" signs. He said I could come back to take photos, that wasn't the problem. I just looked shady running along the tracks.
I have gone back since then and will continue to.

Nice weekend ahead you all !
Another street photography attempt. I'm trying to find and create funny situations while I'm scouting the streets. This window caught my eye and I knew I had to do something with it. Somewhere on the streets in Brussels.
After a very busy day at work, T-Ball practice and dinner tonight, my wife and I took the kids to the little spring break carnival that they have every year at the high school. The night ended in sadness and I only made it worse by asking the kids to stand and look at the fun place we just made them leave. They enjoyed a funnel cake on the ride home at least.
