Sooo, I've been doin a lot of thinkin (and workin) lately. There will be more uploads of course in the future, but that's after I get everything finished and situated (workin on a coupla projects right now). Right now, things are goin really smoothly, but I often ask myself how long this'll last. Every great artist suffers a great fail before they really get the ball goin, so is this going to be the faceplant I'm trying so hard to avoid? I'm tryn not to let that thought consume me and hinder my performance, but I figure as long as I work as hard as I can I'll learn as much as I can. Anyway, I've been having a hard time deciding what to focus my art towards. I was convinced for the longest time ever that I wanted to be a video game designer, then a video game artist, then concept artist....then comic book artist...the list goes on. Art is amazing for the simple fact that it can be applied to soooo many things, but I can't do everything all the time. I've been doing a good job, but what will I be the most well known for? So far, its been graphic design, but I don't want that to be the only jobs I'm getting. I love character design art, whether its for comics, video games, or whatever. I still love portrait painting and drawing. What I WANT to do is promote myself as a graphic designer and traditional artist. I'll be doing some more clean ups in my gallery to organize it a little bit, and get rid of ALL of my bad pieces. I had them in there to show my struggles, but I'm sure we all know what struggles are like. But what do you guys think? Where should I focus my efforts? Should I continue being a jack of all trades? Opinions matter, so that's why I ask ^_^
Kick Start your day!
Hello beautiful peoples. I wanted to say a big THANK YOU to those who have been long time supporters of my work, and the craziness that goes on in my life. In a nutshell, things have been quite insane. How insane? Insane in the membrane... Terrible jokes aside, I wanted to share this kickstarter page with you all. As many of you know, my comic partner (http://mufc10.deviantart.com/) and I have been working away at our comic book, "Painted Black". Show some love by visiting the page, sharing it, and maybe dropping a donation or two in there ;) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/znewirth/painted-black-chapter-1.
Other than that, I'm prepping
Remakes and stuff
Hey friends and fans,
Just wanted to give you all an update on developments in my life. Working as a graphic design intern for a non profit in Boston, and so far I'm loving it. Also, I've recently worked on several designs and illustrations for people and companies, including Laced Boston, Kimo Hill, True Artists, and of course work for the Painted Black Comic book. Working on a really awesome cover for it (sketch of several elements coming soonish). But I looked through some super old drawings I had from way back before high school, and I will be uploading one of them in a few minutes. I heard from a great artist (goes by the name Idrawgirl
Updates
Its been quite a while since I've posted anything, but april 1st is just as good as any other day. Blackoni.com and Blackoniblog.com are in production. The blog is a physical website, with barely any content on it, and blackoni.com has content, but it isn't uploaded yet. Doesn't make too much sense to do so in its state. I'm working on the cover of painted black issue 2, as well as various colored pages. Our intentions were to make it to the boston comic con with this new issue, but the time crunch is intense. I am doing a book cover for author Kimo Hill, which is going ridiculously well. He will be pleased when he sees it, and all my viewers

The Black Oni Blog will be in conjunction with Blackoni.com, and will feature my portfolio, an "about me" section, an area where you can buy my art, and t-shirts, the blog, and contact information. It will be the homebase for my services, and for seeing interesting art and design. The Black Oni Blog will be a great way for viewers to learn more about me, my process, the people I know, and with the inclusion of "
