Massive work & workshops

This April has begun with more work and workshops than I can handle. Now how did I get to this point?

The Pixel Pintura workshops this summer have been amazing with a record number of students attending anything from Digital Color Basics to Pro, to Digital Painting Basics.

The introduction of the more affordable Digital Coloring Basics workshop did a lot to increase the volume of students. And I suppose www.pixelpintura.com had a lot to do with it as well. I also took my workshop and posted it on events websites. I think www.clickthecity.com brought a number of inquiries since apparently, it was easier to find on Google. And of course God answers prayers.

Beyond the workshops there’s still client work to do. With 120 pages of graphic novel toning and lettering due at the end of April, things have become extremely tight — requiring me to enlist the aid of Michael Kanoy, a Visual Communications junior at the College of Fine Arts, UP. (Oh yes, you CFA interns… I pay my interns!! Look out for me next summer!) Hopefully he can match 4 flat pages a day to match my speed at toning them as well as pick up lettering responsibilities.

In the meantime, there’s also Robotika 4and CAST9 to follow in May. Robotika only has around 8 pages to go and I’m weeks ahead. CAST? Well… I’ve been so busy I haven’t even picked up the rest of my pay!!!
