Name: Chris
I'm trying to squeeze in some traditional medium art, but it's so hard with my life schedule as it is. As most of you know-- computer art is a lot more convenient... No setting up camcorders, no mixing the mediums, NO CLEAN UP. But the true artist in me longs to do some good 'ole fashion traditional medium... But I have to be realistic-- I'm a family man, and also the "bread winner" in my house, I have to do what's most logical for survival.




I also have a lot of frequently asked questions to address... But right now I'll address the top 2 most asked:
The first one that people ask, is when am I going to put up some tutorials? The answer is Soon. As some people know, I have been talking about Technique DVD's; on my site. Those DVD's will most center around my own personally art philosophy and how my sense of logic and proportioning work when I do a painting/drawing. But for the techniques regarding how I utilize my digital software, I will be sharing those freely with the public both here and on my site.

The second most asked question is; Where's the music?; My videos are always silent, and people would like to hear some tunes... But I'm gonna have to say, sorry-- there will probably never be any tunes on my art vids. The truth is, I just don't have the time to go that extra mile in picking something. I have a hard enough time trying to find time to even put anything on youtube to begin with. I'm just not interested in putting sound on these vids. I'd like to think that the art would carry itself without any music, but I guess everyone has their preferences. I also like to avoid any copyright controversies. Being a professional, I do not want to cross that line where I might have a video removed due to use of someone's tune without their permission.

Anyway-- keep checking back within the next few days--- I have a ton of stuff to add! I will add it as I complete it.

I actually like that you don't play music in your videos; I have my own music, and if I want to listen to some while watching your video I can do so. I don't know why anyone would complain that you don't have any.

On to something more important, you're clearly on a level far higher than most artists, and you're an inspiration to all. I Don't know too many people that can not only create extremely detailed and accurate artwork, but do it incredibly quickly. In fact, I know nor have heard of any. I think that, from now on, when I am stuck in a rut of my own artistic ventures, I'll come to your channel. If that doesn't encourage me, then nothing will.

hey your artwork is great!! I espically love your dragons. But do you draw magic cards? I play the card game (magic the gathering) alot and your artwork would just fit in perfect.
