Rob Carlos is a self-taught fantasy artist who has made a name for himself with murals, video games, celebrity portraits, custom dragon paintings, and general hustling and passion following. He is also a great friend to many artists in the Pacific Northwest, including me. Together we will discuss his unusual career path and what qualifies as “making it” in the art world.
Echo (and possibly Lazarus) talk about working from reference, live or still, including purchasing and using your own, hiring models, taking photographs under less-than-ideal conditions, and amazing stories of successes and failures. She will also discuss the positives and negatives of using AI Gen images for reference.
Lazarus Chernik takes over the show for a third episode to talk about his role in producing MAIA: The Illustrated Edition and the production process and all the art careers involved in producing works. #FreeMaia
Lazarus Chernik takes over the show for one episode to talk about Art Directors, Art Direction, their role in creative project management, and why they are (supposed to be) an artist’s best friend. It is also a career path for artists that is rarely talked about.
