Indeed, Nyko-wee made it back in one piece!

Okay, I've been back for two weeks now. Just in time before the snow brought everything to a halt. But anyway...

There's not much new to say, other than that the final chapter of the "Beginner's Guide" was released a couple of weeks ago in 2Dartist Magazine.

I'm fighting with the colour profiles on my computer right now, so I'm not too keen on uploading any new pictures until it's sorted out. Sorry!

More stuff soon!

Lets just jump straight in, because there's a whole list of things that need mentioning!

Ballistic Publishing released Exotique 5, and once again it features an array of stunning character based from artists from around the world. As always, you can flip through a preview of the book online - certainly something to make you drool all over your keyboard...

Also, for those of you curious enough, OF LIGHT AND DUST™ now has a facebook page! And yes, you can see if even if you aren't on fb. ;]

Next up, the 5th chapter of the "Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting" was released, and you can find it in the current issue of 2Dartist magazine.

There will also be a workshop by me in the upcoming December issue (#64) of Advanced Photoshop magazine, which should hit the shelves pretty soon, so keep your eyes peeled if you fancy a read!

And last but definitely not least, Justin Lassen's Synaesthesia series was just released on CD as a Special Collector's Edition - meaning once it's sold out, it's sold out. So go grab your copy while you can!

And that's it for now. :]

You won't get around it for another two months after this, I'm afriad: 2Dartist Magazine was released today, and of course it's got my "Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting" in it again. And because free brushes aren't always enough, it also contains three screen recordings of me painting. :}

If you don't want to buy the mag to see me doodle, you can just as well hop over to my facebook page, because I uploaded some videos there, and more are to come.

Also, 3Dtotal re-released my interview from last year on their website, brought up to date and shiny!

And they also brought out Digital Painting Techniques, which is a book featuring lots of tutorials and walkthroughs from a whole lot of artists.

Mh. Yes.

And because I like to tease, let me tease you... with this. ;]

Yup, it's time again: 2Dartist Magazine has hit the shelves with a new issue. This time round, it also features a Custom Brushes tutorial by me, and an exclusive artist-on-artist interview that I had the pleasure of doing with my good friend Justin Lassen.

I feel a bit guilty for snatching the cover as well this time round...

Yes. Believe it or not, I've been nagged and poked into getting a profile there. And there I thought I'd never give in...

As I update it quite a bit - a lot more often than I update here - with bits and pieces that may be of interest, I figured that I could let you know, in case you feel like really tackling me with the odd question or simply staying in touch. =]
