Long Time No Post
Hey everybody
I havent been on in a while and I thought I would drop everyone a line. I have been working as a webmaster and graphic designer for a game store here in Rockford. I have rented a place and currently just trying to survive. With work keeping me busy, there is never a dull moment. I have thrown most of my creative juices into the job and haven't been focusing on very much art here lately. If you have been following the MadBill Art on Social Networks you know its been slim pickings for a while. I have gotten some free time here recently and the great art you know and love is working its way back in. I have posted some good stuff on the facebook fan page and zazzle.
Currently I have started working on a new painting. Well actually its a old painting being painted over but hey you need variety sometimes. Not to mention good art supplies are hard to come by around here. Any way google the hell out of some MadBill Art and promise I wont leave you hanging this long again.

So what to say today? Well let me start off with the Winner of the free print raffle on the MadBill Fan page! Congrats go out to Summer Smith for snagging up the print! Hopefully we can do this again sometime! I would love to give away so much more free stuff I am just not a rich person. Think is comes with being a artist! Poor and broke till your dead and gone! Then someone else makes bukko bucks off your art!
On another note entirely I have a whole bunch of new stuff up. I finally finished the Something Fishy painting and let me say it is really intense! Also so much more stuff on all the sites and I hope you guys and gals out there really enjoy the art!
I have really been busting my ass lately to find a job but no success. I am not quite sure what to do here. I have a bachelors degree and yet no one will give me the time of day! Just don't get it! Why do they say school is so important when all that happens when you get out of school is your unemployed and more in debt. I can't for the life of me find any work in my field and all the local jobs tell me I am over qualified like there is such a thing... Just don't get it. At least its inspiration for the art....

Patriot
Ok so I wanted to post these pieces as they mean more and more to me by the day. This first is a piece I did up to honor my hometown. The problem is that it hasn't received any recognition and nobody in my town of Rockford Illinois has even heard of it unless they are close personal friends. I was hoping to get it featured by the Rockford Art Museum or a local gallery but I just can't get anyone to bite. I could really use some feed back on the piece. It represents the respect I have for the Rockford while at the same time it disgust I have for the local economy and the treatment of area artists. It is like if your not hooked up around here your nobody. There are no amateur art shows, fairs, or exhibits. I just don't understand how a community that is as large as Rockford doesn't seem to want or need to support the arts. Very disappointing.
This next piece is a more patriotic piece. I wanted to do a piece that was themed after the United States. I thought what better an idea than stars and stripes. I started a blank session in photo shop and went work eventually coming up with this wonderful light show. I started with the stars and I wasn't sure how I wanted them to look or what color. I started them off as blue but when I started the rest of the piece it really didn't work so I changed them to white to really allow the red and blue to set on top. The piece really turned out great and I think that Americans can be proud of the American Art! Let me know what you think as feedback is greatly appreciated!

Just wanted to touch base with all the fans out there. If you have any suggestions or would like to see something different, please feel free to comment.
I also wanted to announce that I will be doing digital portrait manipulations for 30 dollars a piece. What that means is that if you would like a personalized abstract digital portrait of yourself Get in touch with me and we can work it out. If you are interested you will need to email me a digital photo of yourself on a plain background. Pieces could take anywhere from a day to week to create and payment must be made upfront via paypal. Once payment is received work will commence. Not only is this business idea, but I see it more as a way to get on a more personal level with the fans. In the world of the internet it is so hard to see people as individuals and I think this would be a great way to see the fans for who they are!
On another note I have a lot more work up on the art sites and I invite you all to visit my galleries on Deviant Art, RedBubble, and Zazzle! I have been revisiting some works lately as well as creating brand new piece with a whole new MadBill style. I have been thinking outside of the box lately in the creation process and I really fell that it has been paying off. Been keeping the fans in mind and the suggestions that have been coming in and trying to incorporate the suggestions into the work. So as I said before if there is something unique you would like to see let me know and I will see what I can do.
Well enough rambling for now... Lots of Love

Fat Head!
So MadBill has teamed up with FatHead Films and begun working on some new short films! Post sound editing will start tomorrow on a couple of them and there are more in production as we speak. We are gonna be cranking them out as fast as humanly possible. Got a lot on my sound design plate for the next week or so. Not to mention that my computer got a virus last week and I have spent the better part of this week reinstalling everything from XP on. I just got pro-tools up and running today which completes the main programs I am running. It took about all day to download from the Avid site, extract, and install but from what I can tell it is all working fine with the exception of reason which I haven't dug the disc out for yet.
As for the films. I am going to be cleaning up a couple of the older pictures they have made so they can recut them to DVD. As for the new stuff... I will start working on Dwelling and Till Death 2 this coming week sometime. We have a shoot on Sunday and that will prob blow that day out of the water for me as for working on the computer stuff. I really wanna blow through these first ones and get to the stuff we shot as I know it looks good so far. Plan on getting though one a day! At least that's my hopes. I am doing the whole post for the equivalent of a hour of video so yeah got my work cut out for me.
I'll keep you all updated and post the vids when we get em done! Ta Ta for now...
