Creepy, Cool or a bit of both?

I got a new scanner, printer combo thing tonight. And in honor of breaking in a new piece of technology I’m going to post up an idea I had the other day that I’m still not sure how I feel about. I think this idea could be really cool, if properly executed. But I’m not quite sure how to go about it yet.
The idea is to combine sexy pin-up girls with medical cutaways…. I think Suicide girls are the obvious choice for models.
Any comments or ideas are welcome. I’m really interested in your initial gut response to the pictures.

More to come.

2 Months later!

So a lot has happened since my last post. I apologize to anyone waiting for an update.

I'm living in Montreal now,and the new job is going great. I'm working as a Medical illustrator and animator at a studio that specializes in creating interactive flash learning modules.

I haven't had much free time to work on personal art work. but I've been keeping up with the tutorials I've been writing. and they seem to be really taking off.
So far the first three are up on vectortuts. And now they're starting to pop up on illustration and design blogs. Drawn , comeuptomyroom.com

I have some big projects on the go. I'm continuing my series of technical illustration tutorials with Vectortuts. I've been working on a series of Russian nesting dolls with some other very talented toronto illustrators and animators.
And of course my Everest, the Florence illustration. This is a screen cap after 66 hours of work on the project.

thanks everyone for reading my blog and all the support. I'm getting back into the grove and settled into my new city, you'll be seeing updates much more often.

Big news

So I've got some pretty big news.

First off, I have had a tutorial published. I created a tutorial all about using adobe illustrator to draw in perspective. You can find the tutorial on the website vectortuts.com or just jump too.
http://vectortuts.com/illustration/using-adobe-illustrator-to-draw-in-perspective/
I've been getting some very positive feedback which is great. And VectorTuts has asked me to be a monthly writer, so I'm pretty happy about that. The next tutorial I'm working on for them will be the first part of a two parter all about Isometrics so stay tuned. It should be up at the end of November.

Second, I'm moving! It's all happening very quickly. I got a job at a company that specializes in biomedical communications. My job will be to create vector medical illustration and animate them in flash. So I'm off to Montreal. I guess I have to go buy a Canadian's jersey.

quick update

The big one.

So I have a tendency to take on massive projects, and this definitely falls into that category.
I think if I could I would do architectural illustration to scale, but sadly illustrator has limits... which I've found working on this.
I'm going to do my best to keep it under wraps until it's finished.
but here as a special treat for those who read my blog.
I give you a sneak peek.
This is just a small portion of the whole.
The image is called 35hours... because well I'm 35hours in.
thanks for watching.

Site update! Vanishingpointstudio 2.0

Hey everyone!

I've just finished updating my website!

http://www.vanishingpointstudio.net/

If you have a look you can find lots of samples of my illustrations and my sketches.
The new version of vanishing point studio is much more simplistic so hopefully I can update it more often. The version I've just replaced was done in Flash so it was a real problem to keep up to date.

If you'd like to take a look back in time, this is the site I just replaced. I think I'm still in 3rd year according to this site.

in the portfolio section.

Let me know if you have any comments or critiques.
thanks for watching.
