A Carry Dog?

A regular sight in L.A. You hardly ever see these little dogs walking.

Early days for the three posts a week. It's going to keep me in gear. Also, the new feature from the last post of work that inspires me.

FRESH GREEN START

Hope you all had a good new year. Best wishes to you all. So, I've lots of things going on this year and I'll let you in on things as time goes on. Right now I'm planning the "Not Your Granny's 3D" tour! Hooray.

Now I'm not one to be yammering on with lots of text in this blog but please read on as you'll find out what to expect in the coming year.

I've just joined Facebook and Twitter, and added the panels on the sidebar so I'll be doing micro blogging from there. So even if I don't have a post up for a couple of days, you'll see what I'm up to. If you're on either of those sites come find me and say hello. I've got a lot of stuff to find out about this year, so I'll take you on that trip as well through those micro posts. Last year was a huge learning curve for me. Now I know so more about the publishing industry and I know that will come in very handy for future projects.

Also, this year I'm going to try to do three posts a week. After finishing my 3D Illusions book, a lot of time was spent on things other than drawing. So, time to put that right again and spend more time at the drawing board.

Also, I'm starting a new feature on this blog. I'm going to call the section "The Daly Tree". There are a couple of reasons for the name. One of them being that I wanted to create a section of things that I found inspiring. This past year was so inspirational for me because of the wealth of unbelievable work going on in the blogsphere. I'm not just talking about artwork, but a whole range of design posts which I hope will feed your quest for cool things. I wanted to give you something that you might not have discovered on your regular stops. I'll give out three links that I've come across which I think you might enjoy. The branches will be an individual post which could be anything. They could be older posts or brand spanking new posts. An eclectic "soup of somethings" you may have missed, hopefully to feed the mind and inspire creativity. It's up to you discover more from the people I branch off to.

So help the tree grow by clicking the branches (links) below. Hopefully they will be inspiring to you too. Feed the tree to help it grow....

THE DALY TREE for today........

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas everyone. This is one of Santa's helpers. Hope you've been good. Thanks for visiting this ol' blog through the year and if you took the time to leave a comment or two, well, you just make my day :)

This will probably be the last post of the year. What an interesting year art wise it was for me. Three of the highlights...... my 3D images and book changed everything for me and I met a ton of new people because of it. I had the honour of been asked to be part of The Totoro Forest Project, and I had a Gallery show. What a rockin' year. Thanks all for the support.
I just joined Facebook too, so if you're in there look me up.

I'll see you all after the holidays!

BUTTERFLY TATTOO

Hey Everyone, glad you liked the last brushwork post. There'll be more of these to come. In the meantime, this happened.

My best friend wanted a tattoo for her birthday and asked me to design it. Fab!!!
I get the odd email asking about designing tattoos, but this was the first time it was going to be done, and it's huge, huge honor for me.

We booked in to get the tattoo, and on Saturday the tattoo was completed. Fascinating and very cool to see the whole process in action. Of course, the copyright and web site was just for this post. :)

Brushwork

Hello all. Hmmmm, things look a little different around here. Thought it was time for a change. Bits and pieces will change to the template over the next while. Temp placeholders for the moment for title and sidebar stuff...

Doing some real artwork lately. I mean the physical type you can touch. You really can't beat using real material. So to all who drop by regularly, I'll be posting frequently pretty soon.

Happy Friday

Happy Friday everyone. Thanks to all those who visited at APE. You make my day when I meet you and find out that you read my blog! Glad the heavy rain didn't stop you guys and girls on Saturday.

I was very happy to share my table with Corey Bass, a wonderful pastel artist with his own comic. I also had the pleasure of sitting next to Audra Ann Furuichi and Scott Yoshinaga from NEMU-NEMU. What a great and cute all ages comic. Get their plushies while they last!

So thanks for the support. It's so good to share my 3D images with a new city in person.

Totoro Forest Project Book

WOW.

Let me say that again.

WOW.

If you can score a copy of the book, please try to do it soon as I know they are running out quickly. Check in on the Totoro Forest Project Blog for info on where it might be still available. I can't even begin to describe what a joy this book is.

I just received my comp copy (thanks for dropping it down Andrea) and seeing the reactions from my kids as we go through the book together is utterly priceless. Their world has just been expanded by an infinite degree thanks to all the participating artists.
Again, it was a complete honor to be a part of this cause.

Cheers Dice, Enrico, Ronnie, Yukino and the whole project team that organized the event.

More Brush Pens On The Market

Here's a sheet just for fun while testing out the new Prismacolor Premier Brush Pens. It will be hard to drag me away from my trusty Pitt Brush Pens though. I love the Prismacolor pencils, so it's good to see them offering colored brush pens. They do have pretty thin barrels on them compared to the Pitt pens which might take a bit of getting used to. Either way, I'm more concerned with what comes out of the tip of them.

3D Images

Hello all. Thanks so much for the book orders. For all those on an RSS feed, you can get to the paypal button on the sidebar of the blog. I really appreciate the support and the great reaction the book is getting.

I never put the above image up on my site, even though a few of you may have seen it on the web. So to put that right, there it is. Hooray! As usual, to see it in 3D, just follow my 3D Instructions.

The Pre-Show

This was snapped right before my first internal show at work. Glad to say that lots of these are going home with some very happy people. Got to tell you, when someone sees the images float off the surface for the first time and that smile appears on their face....well, that just makes my day.

DEPTH CHARGE, 3D ILLUSIONS

DEPTH CHARGE, 3D ILLUSIONS NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Hooray!
All pre-orders have shipped and are on their merry way. Oh, and they also contain a little extra something :)

So to celebrate the online release, FOR ONE WEEK ONLY, ending MIDNIGHT, SEPT 2nd 08, if you order from me ONLY with the paypal button on the side bar, not only will you get a drawing on the inside page, you will receive a random couple of my new DAYDREAMER CARDS with your shiny new purchase.....



Yup, give your eyes a breather and place 'em where you need to to get those eye muscles working for ya.

It's also available on Amazon.com (WITHOUT the special daydreamer offer) here.
For anyone who already has the book, don't hesitate to write an honest review on Amazon. Word of mouth is starting to grow and I'm really surprised how much of a social book it has turned out to be. The couple of shipments I made have already sold in pre-order. Not to worry. I've just sent a new shipment to them, so if it shows up as temporarily out of stock, it should only be a few days until they have it back in.

Enjoy the book my friends.
