Man, these past three weeks have been incredibly busy! I haven't had a chance to really sit down and write, so now that I have a moment, here's a recap of what I've been up to:

My wife is finally home after having major surgery for appendicitis. She's doing great and almost completely healed which is such a relief considering she was walking around with a ruptured appendix for almost a week. The doctors said she was extremely lucky and from what I've heard, a ruptured appendix can be bad situation if not taken care of immediately. How she got away with walking around in her condition for almost a week is beyond me but it goes to show just how high my girl's tolerance for pain is. I guess it comes naturally, especially if you have to put up with me everyday

It's been posted on the Anatomy Forum for some time now but for those who haven't heard, Rebecca Kimmel and I have put together a new site at www.foundationalarts.com. The site is a virtual studio space and outlet for displaying more of our personal work. So far I've posted some older work along with a few figure/portrait studies. There are no plans of making it into an open forum at the moment but it may become one later down the line.

I've added a new blog at imaginefx.com! The imaginefx community is off to a great start and I will be posting there exclusive tidbits for upcoming workshops and general craziness not found in other forums. If you havent had a chance to check out their new site, do it MEOW!!!


I haven't the had the time to work on too much personal stuff apart from an occasional sketch here and there but now that things are some what back to normal, I'll be posting some new work in the upcoming weeks. I also have a handful of tutorials in the works for several apps including Photoshop, ZBrush, and Painter. Some of these will be in video and pdf format and I will be posting links to them as they happen.

Thanks again to everyone for the continued support! - J
