Current Projects V: Waiting for Inspiration to Strike

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in […]

Current Projects IV: Online Shop in the Works (yay!)

Greetings, Internet! You may have noticed it’s been awhile. I sure have a lot to catch you up to speed on! My last blog post was right before traveling with a friend to Japan in Jan – Feb 2015. We spent 8 days in Tokyo and 5 in Osaka, with day-trips to Kyoto & Nagoya. […]

Travel I – Japan

Hello, Internet! 2014 is officially over, and as the new year begins I’m facing a big international trip with a friend to the land of zen, shinto, tea ceremonies, and giant robots fighting monsters – if you don’t get the idea, I’m talking about Japan! Going back to a young age, a lot of my earliest influences […]

Custom minis for gaming; progress on new paintings.

Painting II (Mural in Long Beach, CA)

Hello, Internet! This blog post is to sort out the process I went through in creating my first large-scale mural last month at Public Beer Wine Shop in Long Beach, CA. I was commissioned to create a 9 x 5 x 4 ft. piece of art that incorporated iconic Long Beach images – and drinking, […]

Painting I

Hello again, Internet! I’m back to post some of my recent paintings, with an update on my current goings-on.

They’re so convenient for painting indoors because you don’t have to worry about ventilation, toxic chemicals, or […]

Current Projects II

Hello out there, Internet! My second children’s book, ‘Clive and the Great Space Race’, is a wrap! It is being published by Little Clive Press. It was surprisingly challenging for me, being my first for-print project done completely in Photoshop instead of a traditional medium. I didn’t realize how slowly I work digitally compared to […]

Random I

Here are a couple concept pieces from an illustration project that didn’t come to fruition. I liked the preliminary work a lot and wanted to share! The client wanted a feel that borrowed elements from traditional Bengali style art. – JT

Current Projects I

Hello, Internet! Ever since I was a kid, my passion has been to draw things and ideas that captivate me. Some of these things are from movies, television, video games, anime – media that captured my imagination and in some small part molded me into the person I am today. Initially, this is how I […]

Printmaking I

A couple of new and exciting projects have popped up that are interrupting my progress in Noah’s Art Camp (luckily, those of us who are currently enrolled will have free access when the course resets in November), so I figured in the meantime I’d post a little bit about printmaking. I’m only going to talk […]
