Closing A Chapter

The Nosco Project begun as a response to a point in my life where I was seeking a challenge both as a means to break me out of a creative valley and as an interest in seeing how far I could go. I wanted to see the result of my creativity if it had been pushed to different limits and forced out of comfort zones. I invited friends and friends of friends who found this project interesting in order to have some company in this pursuit of challenge. Although short-lived, the project brought out responses from me that surprised me at times, which is sometimes pretty cool. I had a lot of fun working on the themes and actually came up with some work I'm pretty proud of.

A heart-felt thank you to all those who participated and I hope you all had fun. This chapter has now closed as has The Nosco Project, but it only serves to mark the beginning of the next!

Catch Up

Life sometimes throws you on a traumatizing roller coaster ride where you find yourself in gut wrenching descensions and temporary highs. I find that these often draw out emotions that definitely affect my art and creative energy. Especially with my preferred style and themes, I feel like I have to be in a content or joyful state in order to "create." But I've been pushing myself to express my creative energy even in times where there may be no joy, and the results have been interesting.

With The Nosco Project, I have had a slight motivation to draw due to the publishing dates and below are a few months worth of catch up. May we always find the strength and courage to stand up and do what we are blessed to do regardless of the snakes and tangles that strive to make us fall.

Goliath

The first theme for The Nosco Project was Goliath. Not too sure how I came up with that, but it turned out to be a fun theme to start with. When doing these theme pieces, I usually go with my first impression of the theme. The first image, or first idea that pops in my head, I like to stick with and kind of play around with it.

When I started to work on Goliath, I just kept imagining an image from Hercules, the Disney version. So I went with that. Also I always like incorporating a new style so that it just forces me to improve on my use of the programs I draw with and also to challenge my creativity a bit. For this piece I tried out the style of using non-black borders for the shaping.

And here is the finished product...

To Get To Know

After years of admiring the Drawergeeks website, I've decided to start up my own project. Working with some close friends and going by an invite only system, hopefully this will be fun for those involved as it will be for me.

The goal is simple. To inspire, improve, encourage, and enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing how this project develops and grows!
