Hope to see you all at Gallery 1988 tonight for the "One To Grow On" Show. I'll be there for most of the night. Come say hi.
By they way, this is just a study sketch for a picture book I'm currently illustrating about barn animals
For all of you in the LA area the gallery show which I have been telling you all about for the past few weeks is going to have it's opening night on Tuesday the 20th of this month. That's next week. The show goes from 7-10PM. Hope to see you all there!
This is the Mother's Day card I made for my mother this year.
What? You were too busy playing Grand Theft Auto 4 that you forgot to get a card for your own mother? Shame on you. BUT, luckily, I'm here to bail you out.
Here are the instructions....
STEP 1: Slap yourself on the hand for not thinking about your mother.
STEP 2: Kiss your hand for opting to use my card
STEP 3: Download the PDF
STEP 4: Print it out and trim where necessary. (But don't be cheap and use simple paper. Use the nice heavy card stock. After all, this is my art)
STEP 5: hi five yourself and continue about your day.
For fans, such as myself, of "This American Life" I often find myself learning a huge amount about the process of storytelling by listening to the show. So, it was a delight for me to discover that the host, Ira Glass, was interviewed on the process of storytelling. For anyone who is interested in writing books or telling stories of any kind I strongly feel that these four youtube posts can make a great impact on you as a writer if you listen to the facts and take the moment to really reflect on them and see how you tell a story. Although he talks about making stories for radio I feel the rules apply to any medium you use
The last piece for the Gallery 1988 Show
What's that you say Dan? You've been secretly working on your graphic novel behind our backs? You say, there's a secret blog out there that you've been putting together for the project that no one can see besides you and your editors?
Well it's about time Mr. Santat.....
This is yet another piece for the Gallery 1988 show. So far, I think this is my favorite piece out of the bunch.
Another piece for the Gallery 1988 show next month. It's a rather cynical look at love, but it only pertains to one of my past relationships.
Just a quick dinosaur sketch. I'm trying out Photoshop CS3
