Like Minds Collective #1

by Adam Paquette | July 21st, 2009
 

Saturday was a great success! We had almost 100 people crammed into the warehouse, with amazing demos from Kim Taylor (Sketchling), Archipelago, Interceptor, Evan Shipard amongst others. This was an experiment for things to come and I learned alot about how to run an event like this (and how importance large-canvas-falling insurance can be). Can’t wait to announce event #2 and 3 and 4 and…

But for now a few photos and the demo artists’ paintings. And massive thanks to Nick Belshaw for the music which was impeccable - have recieved many compliments from attendees on that.

Kim Taylor’s wicked digi paint (projected up)

Archipelago gets all conceptual and freaks out the old people in the audience. Sweeeet.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible and to Loren (interceptor) for kickin’ it with me at the pad and helping me organise :)

Hey guys - epic work. Great to have you posting here Christine, I love those sketches.

Here is the latest enviro for Wizards of the Coast, which was Spotlighted on the ArtOrder blog. It is a gothic Githyanki city built atop the husk of a dead god.

I have a set of 7 more enviros in the pipe this month, can’t wait to get stuck into them!

Wizards of the Coast - AIRSPUR + tutorial

by Adam Paquette | June 16th, 2009
 

Hey everyone, AMAZING updating going on. You are the guardians of art who stave off mediocrity! And Loren - can’t wait to see you here in person mate! URRY UP!

Im stoked to be able to show the first tip of the iceberg that has been my new freelance position with Wizards of the Coast. I had the pleasure of working with Jon Schindehette, the AD over at wizards who also runs the ArtOrder blog, on a series of illustrations. Jon and I decided it would be cool to do a write up on the piece’s progress and then share it with the readers here and at artorder. So below is my step-by-step for my first ever WOTC illustration! I hope it is helpful to you — and expect to see more of these in the very near future ;) Can’t wait to show my other paintings also, as they are published…

The objective of this sketch was to conserve my value range and play with subtle shifts of tone, using contrast only in the focal pt.

Culture Jam

by Adam Paquette | February 14th, 2009
 

On thursday Oh Really gallery hosted their 6th Culture Jam and I was privelaged to be their guest artist. Hermitude and Rumpunch played live on the night, and the crowd was the largest we had seen (around 100 in the small venue). Was the most fun I have had in a long time!

Sorry for the sucky video quality. This is the first time iv uploaded a vid so ill try to redo it and get rid of the letterboxing. And people have been bitching at me for the crazy music so I guess ill change it to something ‘mellow’…or whatever :P

Hope you enjoy!
