Hey, anyone else going to the International Art and Design Symposium? I'll be scraping pennies together, but I think I can do it

It's been a great 3 years in Portland, constantly being around family and old friends, making awesome new friends, learning what's what at PNCA, and enjoying the marvelous little metropolis that makes up Portland, Oregon. But for now it's farewell, as I'll be taking up a concept art job in Plano, TX. It's the dream job, and I'm fortunate to know a few excellent Texans in the area. I'm looking forward to moving into downtown Plano (a mile from work!) and exploring what it has to offer (namely BBQ ribs...). Here's to new adventures

Starting in May I will be the concept artist at _____ Games in Dallas, TX. Working on a pretty big title (which of course I cannot divulge). Dream come true, I am a professional concept artist!!!

...aaaaaaaaaaand my final summer is OVER! Yes indeed, it's my senior year at Pacific Northwest College of Art. And you know what that means - I'll actually be posting stuff again! This summer has been filled up with graphic design work and my wildly entertaining concept art internship. As a result, my personal work has slowed to a veritably crawl.

Get ready. In these next two semesters I'll be nailing down my figure drawing, pumping out speed paintings, and drawing more disturbing monsters than you can wrap your head around!

Thanks to everyone who looks, comments, and enjoys.

Peace!

Art school is out for the summer. Next year I have two more part-time semesters, then I'm out on my own! It would be pretty awesome to pay the rent this summer with commissions, so if you know anyone who needs album art, concept art, tattoo designs, logo designs, etc, send them a link to www.venlocklear.com

Also, for all of you fantasy artists out there, you need to check out www.theartorder.com. It's a blog and website run by Jon Schindehette, one of the art directors at Wizards of the Coast. He basically hosts a bunch of challenges and give you feedback on your submissions. VERY cool stuff, get over there and make an account RIGHT NOW.

Cheers!
