Finishing up the piece I started coloring last night. Stop on by and join me!

Content is safe for work, can't say that the playlist will be, though!

I'll be doing a livestream tonight at 8:30PM Pacific of a Sci-Fi piece I'm working on. Content will be completely safe for work and will be mostly coloring work, so stop on by and watch me work!

You can find my Picarto channel over here, I will be posting again when the stream is up.

I am at the conclusion of a digital identity crisis.

I've spent the last year waffling back and forth between the idea of splitting off into two separate identities online, one for the sort of thing you normally see here on my DeviantArt page and another for pursuits of an either more adult or just different nature. I have found myself in a conversation (with myself) where I question whether or not I should keep things separate for the purposes of not offending the people in my life who know me and my art, and even whether or not I should drop the entire Jackwrench identity in its entirety and start something new.

I am not going to be doing that, with "that" being dropping everything I've accomplished under this handle.

My updates are slow because I am trying to develop three different fan bases, and not only has it divided my focus and time, but also my commitment. I am split between many worlds of artistic expression because I find myself in fear of whether or not those worlds can exist together. Fear is a way of being that shapes action, and I have decided that I would rather take action to shape my way of being to something new.

What does this mean? Well, first it means that I am starting a tumblr page for myself that will include ALL of my artwork, instead of only the stuff that is worksafe or consistent with my previous work. That does not mean I am going to open a floodgate of pornography and spill it across the internet, though I won't lie that some of that sort of thing may be present. It will be a way for me to share my sketches and ideas, to explore new styles and themes, and to interact directly with fans and community. I have kept myself from really developing for years, and questioned where I should develop rather than just developing.

That's all a very long explanation that can be summed up with: I started a tumblr, it's jackwrench.tumblr.com/ . I'd love to see all of my watchers there, but do be aware that what you see there will eventually include some not safe for work content as well as sketches that will be a little outside my comfort zone. I value every follower I have, every pageview, and every favorite. Without you, as readers of this post, I would just have a bunch of artwork hanging out in space. 2015 is a year of commitment and expansion; I'd love to spend it with you.

Coming Back!

I've been neglecting my DeviantArt for a long time, but I've certainly not been inactive! My work has been published in Epic Heroes: Skirmish Gaming in the Realms of Fantasy, which is a supplement for a tabletop miniatures game. Been doing commissions and trying to flesh out my portfolio a little more, going after more artwork for publications. About a year ago I got a Cintiq and it really helped me to step up my color game.

I am committed to more consistent updates as I produce more work here on my DeviantArt account. I'm also open for the idea of commissions, should any of you be interested!
