“Pixel Galaxy” & “Web City” - My first website (worth mentioning) I started around 1998 or 1999 when I was around 13 or 14. It was developed totally with free/basic software like Netscape Composer, Adobe PageMill and the AppleWorks paint application (long before I used Photoshop for the first time).
It started originally as just “Web City” but I got a little ahead of myself and started expanding to space before I had finished fleshing-out the city part. I also got my hands on a lite version of ‘Painter’ so the graphics style changes quite a bit before I abandoned development.
Visit the archived website. It’s mostly awful except for some of my illustrations. It’s a fun time capsule from my childhood and a more primitive internet.
Wacom Inkling Video Review.
Looks as good as advertised… It’s still on my wish list.
Update to my latest digital painting: I’ve added a new dark version of the iPhone wallpaper. Make sure you checkout the full version too if you haven’t yet.

“From the Darkness” - Painted in Brushes (iPhone), SketchBook Pro (Mac), and Photoshop.

Done on my iPhone using Brushes (as usual). It’s no David Lanham Portrait, but it’s my attempt at something similar (let’s say inspired).
I thought it’d be a relatively simple exercise to get back into illustrating more creative things like robots.
Interesting looking hand illustrated iPhone game “Kometen” ($2.99)

Illustration shown: Thread Troll.
Desktop screenshot. I found a high-res version of an old favorite illustration of mine by Range Murata, so I cropped and tweaked it for use on my desktop or any other 16:9 display. Grab the 2650x1600 wallpaper here.
A cool illustration by a friend of mine.
Here is my new mascot! sorta. This is what I was thinking of when I came up with the name Hobotix. Its a play off of “Hobo” and “Robotics.” Going to throw it in the empty space on the right.

Dark Street Lamp Painting
Done on Brushes for iPhone / iPod Touch brushesapp.com
I originally wanted to add a character or something under the lamp or in the shadows, but after playing around with it I realized it’s finished without any additions.
The full exported size is 1920 x 1200 for those who might want to use it as a desktop wallpaper.
Any fellow artists reading this?
The reason I ask is because I’m interested in starting a new art critique community site, that will be the successor to my 7 year old forums Untitled Image that badly needs a reboot or to just be killed (likely the latter).
The goal of this new site will be to have a manageable size community focused on getting quality critique and inspiration from fellow artists. The community may even be invite only. Large sites like DeviantArt I find to be too large and impersonal to get any quality feedback or interaction.
I’m looking for a few people to help get the site off the ground. I’m just in the very early pre-panning stages so I don’t even have a name yet. Please let me know of your interest in the comments or email me contact -at- androidworkshop.com
