In this article we are going to cover proper studio ventilation for the artist, with a focus on dealing with solvents. We will cover the various options for setting up a studio, and a few options you can use if no ventilation is possible. Almost all illustrators...
I recently had the pleasure of working with the tabletop RPG Oath Hammer to create a cover and several illustrations. Today, I'd like to share some of the work for them with you! I love the challenge that these kinds of projects present: complex character...
I was recently given the opportunity to test drive the new Huion Kamvas 24 4K digital tablet and I have the results to share with you today. Most of the painting was done live, and if you'd like to see it, you can check out the first VOD where we came up with...
Ooooh yeeeah! But the question is, will you go see it in 48fps as it was intended by PJ? I know i will 🙂

Super-excited. I am going to make a solid Hobbit breakfast for my friends then we are going to go watch it.
The Rankin-Bass animated still owns my heart. Brother Theodore's Gollum, John Huston's Gandalf and Richard Boone's Smaug voice work still get me jazzed. As corny as it was I loved the presentation of the music and of course, I really loved the art direction on that Rankin stuff as well. My experiences with that film is what sparked my love of illustration and what made me read Tolkien for the first time. The first real book I read for recreation was probably The Hobbit.
CANT WAIT!!!!!! Got my midnight tickets weeks ago! Awesome drawing by the way. Keep it up Justin, you rock!
so very excited!!
Eyebrows beyond the brim! I love it!
With a bent knee to CBE Tolkien and a hats' off to Messieurs Lee & Howe ~ I must humbly submit that I find Justins' Gandalf a work of true Wizardry!
And like the comments above I hear it's not only in 3D, but, to be in – Trilogy.
Thanks for ALL the Great posts & Art as always!!!
DO have a Great Week!
Why Peter Jackson didn't get Paul Bonner on the phone I'll never know!

I loved the Rankin-Bass take on Smaug. Really original with the catlike head, eyes sending out search beams, and he was furry if my memory is correct. A really unique beast. The topper was having Richard Boone as the voice actor. Frankly I wonder how Peter Jackson will be able to make a talking Smaug work. What can be done in a cartoon will prove much more difficult in a live action film, I think.
lol, it actually does have a couple, only not as good as yours, sir 😉
