My Bio

My name is Geoff.

I am a 22y.o. (2012 at time of this writing) traditional artist with a passion for oil painting and film photography (although I shoot digital also). My favorite subject is night photography and landscapes. My drawings and paintings take a longer time to finish, so I work on them in my free time. I also go to nursing school and am learning the guitar.


What's in my Camera bag?

I got my first real cameras this year after being exposed to a "dslr" by a fellow painter and deviantartist who used it to photograph his works and references. In the next couple of months, I taught myself about dslr and rf photography, but in all that research and reading, I got caught up in analong-film photography and that's where I find myself getting the most satisfaction today.

I have:

- a Canon Eos 20D, 55-250mm Cannon EF-S lens

- a Voigtlander Vitomatic II 35mm rangefinder, 50mm Color Skopar lens

- a Hasselblad 500C 50mm Distagon lens.


Inspirations:

Michael Turner, Donato Giancola, Hayao Miyazaki, Simone Bianchi, Jason Fabok, Jenny Frison, RG's Tabula Rasa Art Team, F. Frazetta


Current Residence: Corona, CA

Favourite style of art: Realism in the Fantasy/Scifi genre; Portraiture

Favorite Operating System: Windows XP

MP3 player of choice: Cassette Tapes

Shell of choice: Leo

Favourite cartoon character: Wolverine

Personal Quote: "popcorn!"

Thanks to the people I sent a note to that helped me pick out some oil supplies! It has been bugging me ever since I started this page that I have barely anything with color on here!! Well, good news is, I'm ready to start oil painting! Like many of the master painters, I will use watercolor as my studies to prep for the actual paintings! Man, I am so freakin excitied. I've done very minimal acrylic work and even that was monochrome! So, I really would like to start splashing some wild colors up! Of course, I would love to do and redo some of my old drawings as oil paintings. I am also working on some new conceptual ideas for oil. For so

Wow yesterday was the truly best day of the con -I had the most sleep I've had since opening and just spent the day around the exhibit hall taking pictures, sitting around the DC booth watching Rose Red artist Mark Buckingham (Fables #15: Rose Red) and Jill Thompson (recently, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman) draw their characters in watercolor! Also, my sis also lined up for the new RE6 game, grabbed a free poster, and I met Donato Giancola for the first time -a well distinguished scifi/fantasy artist. I grabbed a signed print and we talked about his Red Sonja piece, he asked me if I was a fan, I said no I don't read the comics but I was familia

...It's friday, and I'm ready to start back on my drawing and I can't find where I put my last painting!! Ugh. I usually keep it in this black storage box in my room, next to my desk, but the last time I worked on it was before the shool semester started and I remember I put it away somewhere before going out to eat. Since then, I haven't been able to find it. I've worked on that thing for weeks now with a good amount of hours put into it. I even bought a new lamp for it which was expensive -and that was even in cash, with my own money, but now I can't even find my painting to work on it! The IRONY! lol. I will go clean my room up now and
