Not sure if I'm going to use it to the same capacity that I've used DA over the past 12 years but I dig the vibe a lot better over there for sure. www.artstation.com/artist/edel… is anybody else using this website INSTEAD of DA or at the same time due to the different types of artists you find here vs there? Good/better networking? Is this job-listing feature they have good/worth the trouble? Pros? Cons? Im essentially trying to trick myself into being interested in posting my art online again past a fake-out tumblr to show potential employers. Being that I haven't updated this page in nearly a year; its clearly been an uphill battle, to say the least.

Oh yeah, I illustrated a children's book that was published back in June(July?) that you can check out here amzn.com/0990971430 Its art is unlike anything you will find here due to me having to match the style from its first installment. Book three is currently being worked on and I will be gradually switching the style to something a little more my speed by book 4 if the author hasn't dumped me by then heheh. So check that out if you want. Leave a dope review if you're bored.

Lastly, I'm working on my first ever solo illustration book... it started off as a graphic novel but I just don't have it in me atm to sit there drawing panels all day(unless I can find a Joey Mason to MY Howard Shum - find someone who draws similar to how I see my book in my head, have them pencil it and I'll ink). Random pin-ups and busts tho? All day(all day). More info on that and a possible small toy run I've been making moves towards later.

I appreciate the favs, watches, comments.... & goofy ass "lama badges" too? You kids are weird haha.

I'm "back"? I guess? I haven't visited to the non-mobile version of this site in well over a year. Thank you to all of the followers that miraculously comment and watch what I KNOW seems to have been a long-abandoned account.  Im open for paid commissions [edel.illus at gmail.com] Theres also been a print available for years that I haven't been really advertising. I'll very likely take it down soon after submitting this journal haha.

A lot has changed around here in my absence. Neat

I'm still alive, I promise. Hello to the DROVES of new watchers! You all are way too kind. I'm not deserving. Updating in the near future. Probably.

If you're not familiar with him & his art... thats... equal parts sad & embarrassing. However, you are forgiven if you educate yourself by visiting the following links. frankfrazetta.org - www.americanartarchives.com/fr… - www.frankfrazetta.net You may not like nor care for his work(blasphemy) but more likely than not; Frank Frazetta is amongst your favorite artist's favorite artists.
