There is a handful new links to fantastic folks I came across recently, each one of them is a major inspiration to me:

Scott Eaton
A traditionally trained sculptor combining traditional and digital media Scott is also a lecturer and technical director. He shares his vast knowledge of anatomy on his website and in various on- and offline publications.

The Essential Vermeer
What a website! Anything you ever wanted to know about Vermeer and his work, presented in a top notch web format. Many thanks to the passionate creator Jonathan Janson!

Thierry Doizon
Thierry, a key figure in todays digital painting scene, is an outstanding concept artist, art director, illustrator and speaker. Much to learn from this fellow!

JB Monge
It was love at first sight – french illustrator Jean-Baptiste Monge is one of my dearest. An email I recieved as an answer to a few questions and my praise brought sweet tears to my eyes. :)

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
Having finished a few new drawings I will take pictures soon and put them up here, so come back shortly!

There is a good short video by North Carolina painter Scott Burdick over at American Artist online. Click here to see it.

And here are some pictures of our 10 year anniversary exhibition in London this November! Make sure you take a look at the catalogue, too!

Yesterday was the last day of school for this term – I’ve been at Angel Academy for two years now. It’s incredible how fast time flies!
There is a new Cast Drawing on display at the Studies section, enjoy!
I will be taking photographs of the last charcoal long pose as well and put it up here as soon as possible.
My next project will be in OIL PAINT and working with Maestro Michael John Angel – exciting!

There is a lot going on in florence and there is a good mood between students of Florence Academy:http://www.florenceacademyofart.com/ and Angel’s. It really feels like we’re all part of a movement – whether back to beauty, structural impressionism or classical realism. It’s all mingling and while highly influenced by the Masters of the past, the focus is on the future as well.

Wellwell – happy christmas & a great new year everybody!

As I’m back in Switzerland for summer, we are setting up the third edition of “KUNSTpause” – an exhibition of 23 young local artists.
More infos here! (german). 14th-19th of August in Zug, Switzerland.

I applied for this year’s ARC Scholarship Competition, we shall see if I hear back from them!

There are two new pieces in the galleries.
One in Figures and the other in Studies.

A new charcoal figure drawing has been added to the Figure gallery.

I have started my 5th term at Angel Academy of Art. We are going to have a show in London in December 2007 to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of the school. The name of the exhibition is “Annigoni’s Legacy“.
More infos soon!

Two new figure drawings have been added to the figure gallery – one in carbon pencil and one in charcoal.

So, the third term at Angel’s just started. I’m still really really enjoying it! Last week I made my first portrait in school. It can be found in the portrait section, together with another drawing. Enjoy!
