ORPHAN WORKS ACT BILL 02

LUCKILY the idea of someone being able to take your artwork and present it as their's as well as claiming ownership and useage rights has NOT come to pass . . . due to the ORPHAN WORKS BILL not being passed (FOR NOW). This issue is a very unsettling idea and lacks the kind of respect and appreciation any artist should have when presenting their own artwork on ANY platform. Sadly I will be presenting less of my work and all of it will now have the appropriate copyright information plastered across the image. If you have any questions in regards to this bill and what can be done, please see Marcelo Vignali's post: ORPHANS ACT UPDATE (IMPORTANT!) - @ http://vignalistudio.blogspot.com/

These 5 minute sketches are examples that I used while teaching, discussing how it's most important to create a story or a story idea that will make your gesture drawings more personal and less "figure drawing" or capturing a "pose." Here you can in these images, they have taken the model and created a character with a dark background that should leave the viewer asking to know more. All in time for All Hallow's Eve coming around the corner . . .
