I thought that I would share some updates with you! I’ve been more quite lately and I can finally tell everyone what I’ve been up to. Most importantly for the last few weeks I’ve been designing and hand crafting anniversary cards for my wife and daughter. (Yes! Our daughter has participated in every anniversary since she was born!) photos and videos of the cards to follow in a different post.
Grotesque Moi!
- Illustration number seven is still in process. I plan to continue it to completion. There are another six illustrations lined up to make the first set of thirteen.
- I had to rework parts of the background and struggled a bit with the main figure.
- It’s still on the schedule for completion.
- Commissions are still open for Fantasy Creature/Monster Portraits!
- Future Plans:
- A calendar of the first thirteen creatures is to be designed and offered either in the XT Illos Store or through an on demand print site.
- Three more waves of thirteen creatures to be created.
- A new calendar is to be created at the end of each set of thirteen creatures.
- Eventually there will be four calendar options.
- Fifty two creatures to be combined in a card set to be offered on a crowd funding site.

- Grotesque Moi! to continue production.

- Art Markets/Cons Vending results year one.
- Art markets have had very little flow of people attuned to my style of work and no revenue for my illustrations.
- Cons have had a good flow of people interested in my work and the revenue was barely better than the art markets.
- Increase con vending over the next year and try bigger cons.
- Overall production to slow down.
- Revenue is currently to low to support projects.
- Part time schedule to resume to allow hours for non-art work.
- look for more art revenue options for current XT Illos lines.
