Sometimes things just don’t quite work out the way you had hoped. Such as my first and only skateboarding experience. I was 8 and the cement was hard, end of story. But I digress.
I was scheduled to be included in issue 39 of SKETCH! magazine featuring Adam Hughes. I had done a digital painting tutorial for the magazine in which I took readers through my process with the end result being the Phoenix pictured above. I was pretty psyched about it because not only was I going be in the magazine but Adam freaking Hughes was also in the magazine. Adam’s work has been a big influence and inspiration for me over the years. I love me some Adam Hughes.
But through some horrible twist of fate my tutorial was lost in the shuffle. Bill Nichols the editor of SKETCH! apologized for the mix up and is placing it in an upcoming issue featuring Alex Ross. But I still looked like a moron for telling everyone that I was in the Adam Hughes issue. Oh well.
So now I’m getting all paranoid and shit because I will be doing a painting tutorial in a magazine featuring one of the best painters in the biz. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. Here I am some self-taught jackass and he is Alex Ross. But either way I am still honored and happy to be in the magazine. Plus I know all my fans (both of you) will be sure to pick up the issue and have it bronzed or something.
I will update you when I know more but for now just sit there and look pretty you sexy beast you
