Out Of Commission This Week

My youth and adult drawing classes at the NWA Community Creative Center / Walton Art Center that were scheduled to begin this Friday have been rescheduled to start next Friday, March 2.  I've been out of commission lately dealing with a painful hernia and hernia surgery (ugh).  Should be back on my feet and drawing again soon (I hope).

Staring in April I’ll be teaching an after school Basic Acrylic painting class for Kids and an evening Basic Acrylic painting class for adults (Fridays, April 6-27).

CONCEPT ART

It's been an extremely busy week and I thought I'd take a little break from my work and share a couple more resources available for fellow artists and illustrators.  One resource I highly recommend is ConceptArt.org.  This site posts forums, galleries of artists work, events, schools, workshop info, chat rooms and industry job info.  Another great resource is CGHub.com.  This site is a social network for professionals in Animation, Film, Visual Effects, Games, Illustration, Concept Art and more.  One more I'd like to mention is ConceptArtWorld.  This site also features artists work as well as different studios, news, training info and books available. 
These are a few of the fantastic resources available and I recommend checking them out!
