Good interview/podcast to listen to
1 min read
Its a Bobby Chiu interviewing Jonathan Hardesty. He generally interviews people that end up working for him in his schoolism school, but none the less the content is good. It talks about the talent/skill/hard work thing I've brought up in the past. The guy basically came from nothing, started drawing super late (in his 20s, just like me) and has ultimately become really really "talented".

New Facebook Page!
2 min read
Hey everyone! I started a Facebook art page for my work. Its currently not populated with alot of stuff, but the one main benefit you'll get from liking the page is that I like to share art work from past painters/sculptors etc. If you're just getting into art or just enjoy seeing good traditional art then go on over and follow me on Facebook as well. There will eventually be nudity, so you are warned.

Hit Like:
Then under the new "Liked" > click on "Post in News Feed" > click on "See First". This is a way of circumventing Facebooks stupid paid promotion program, because what it essentially does is hide posts from people and force you to pay so that they show up for people (to pay for likes essentially), unless you do the thing I just mentioned.
Other things aside, I'm trying to get my really old scanner that used to work with Windows XP to work with Windows 7 so I can start scanning sketches. Is that something you guys are interested in seeing? Let me know in the comments what you want to see from me in this new year.
Cheers,
~M

Some motivation for ya

This video is incredibly relevant to art:
www.facebook.com/gary/videos/1…
Like Shia Labouf says, DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS. Every single day you should be putting in work to that big goal, that grand scheme of things. Some days you may not be able to do too much, but a little bit every single day goes a long way.
I had a few people message me over my Forum post getting people riled up and motivated to do something. Where I talk about working a lot to achieve success in what you want to do. The messages kind of read like "you shouldn't advise people to work so hard that they will injure themselves or their hands". So lets break this thing down, if you are literally working so much that your hand is hurting. Go take a break! But its funny that the messages I received were from people ALREADY working as artists lol. Yes, injuring your hand is a thing, but guess what got you that job as an artist? It wasn't sleeping in, it wasn't going to that party, it wasn't playing that video game.
The reason some people can draw really really well, is because collectively over the course of years they've drawn A LOT. This just means they have a habit to draw. Not that they suddenly decided to binge draw for 15 hours straight one random night. So understand when I say work a lot, using the example of a professional artist: working at LEAST 8 hours a day 5 days a week, thats 40 hours where they are already making art that is not including their own stuff (literally the definition of consistency).
So to recap, injuring yourself is very real if you are binging doing art. Improvement is a steady thing, just make sure you're putting in work frequently (every day) and you will for sure see improvement without injuring yourself.

In other news, I'm going to be releasing some new work sometime this month of stuff I've been up to. Let me know what you guys are interested in seeing if there are requests.

Working on the early stages of a sculpt, you'll see the early block out and perhaps some cloth making.

Hey all!
I got back from my internship at Hasbro and I must say it was awesome. To those of you who were following me and wanted to know more. Well basically, I was making toys (in zbrush) there fixing stuff. And getting them ready to get mass produced! Got to make alot of props and items and a few characters a long the way. And of course its nothing I can actually show lol. However, I will post stuff that I've done on my own time if people are interested.
Livestream ideas
I was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining me to hangout on livestream while I work on stuff, and you can ask me questions art related or not. I'll be doing Zbrush work for class which I can show, as well as personal work. If theres any interest in this then perhaps we can get something going regularly
LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!1!11!!!
Cheers,
Jose
