James Gurney is Soooo Cool!

I just went to a James Gurney lecture at Montgomery College. I'm just so inspired and so excited. It was really a very cool lecture. It makes me want to see other writer/illustrators and hear about how they work. I'm really glad that he has a blog also.

I'm off now to do some mapmaking (a Gurney suggestion, but also a Lisle suggestion too!), while I wait for AAA. When I got home my Volvo had a flat tire. While that really sucks... at least I'm at home and have ALL the comforts of home.

I HAVE A MENTOR!

I think that I've mentioned that I joined the CONCEPT ART forums. Well, someone has answered my request (my plea) for a mentor. This person is a colorist and is going to help me with digital painting! You don't know how excited I am. I still need a mentor for figure drawing/anatomy, character design, perspective, environments/landscapes/worldbuilding, to be honest I need a mentor for %$&*^ing EVERYTHING!

However...

I'm pretty stoked right now. I've got a mentor!
