tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-309237912011-07-08T00:56:02.326-05:00I've always had a passion for art for as long as I can remember. I was always the kid in school "who could draw good". I'm completely self-taught, never took classes (which shows, no doubt), but I've always loved it. Since everyone and their golden hamster has a blog nowadays, I decided to start one to..umm..showcase my ..umm..talent (*snicker*) Enjoy! I've also added a Soundclick of some beats I've made in FL Studio. Hope ya like em!Shoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05786596535277295145noreply@blogger.comBlogger121100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30923791.post-37810427031418235682010-03-15T09:54:00.001-05:002010-03-15T09:55:28.248-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Rxu4Q292n8Q/S55KT4SfaQI/AAAAAAAAAKE/sNA3pWeCqww/s1600-h/Snail_%26_LB_1.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 186px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Rxu4Q292n8Q/S55KT4SfaQI/AAAAAAAAAKE/sNA3pWeCqww/s320/Snail_%26_LB_1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448874304552790274" border="0" /></a><br />Just messing around in Photoshop<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30923791-3781042703141823568?l=artofgarydean.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05786596535277295145noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30923791.post-33311366018505836662008-07-24T10:41:00.000-05:002008-07-24T10:44:01.650-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Rxu4Q292n8Q/SIijMynX09I/AAAAAAAAABI/pXBHx1UlWrw/s1600-h/OldMan2color.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_Rxu4Q292n8Q/SIijMynX09I/AAAAAAAAABI/pXBHx1UlWrw/s320/OldMan2color.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226606807704130514" border="0" /></a><br />I kinda like how Ol' Man Jenkins came out, so I decided to bust out the wacom tablet, fire up the 'Shop and splash the old bastard with color.
