ED-YOU-CATION
Starting Over. Educations modern system of imposed ignorance that we call "School" has left my brain exhausted and non the wiser. Ive decide that with the help of the Internet, and the real world that surrounds me, I will embark on a brave new journey of knowledge in the name of fun! With no specific curriculum to follow or grade to make. I will excel in life because I want to, not because I need to in order to compete with all the other "educated" idiots. The world is mine to discover now. All ravaged and raped frontiers of the past are virgins once more. I'm going to boldly go where men have gone before, but experience all that they left undiscovered in their rush to know it all.

WHAT'S THIS POST TO BE?
SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN A WHILE. IVE BEEN WORKING ON SOME INTERVIEWS WITH AMAZING ARTIST THAT I WILL PUT UP ONCE I EDIT THEM. I KNOW MY POST ARE NOT WELL EDITED AND I HARDLY USE A SPELLCHECK OR KNOW WHERE TO PUT A COMMA, BUT WHEN QUOTING OTHERS I FEEL LIKE MAYBE I SHOULDN'T MAKE THEM SOUND AS STUPID AS I. ANYWAY, I ALSO STARTED WORKING ON A NEW COMIC THAT I WILL BE SHARING THROUGH THIS BLOG CALLED "SKULL 9". MORE ABOUT THAT LATER. I HOPE ANY ARTIST THAT READ THIS BLOG WILL CONTINUE TO DUE SO AND BE INSPIRED. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE YOUR ART WITH ME. EMAIL WITH ANY INFO YOU HAVE ON IT, TO lanceinkwell@gmail.com AND I WILL POST IT ON THIS BLOG FOR ALL TO SEE. PARTY!

BOOK OF THE MONTH
I'M STARTING A FEATURED BOOK OF THE MONTH FOR ARTIST WHO WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR SKILLS. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK AND IT WILL BE FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH. ENJOY!
"PERSPECTIVE! FOR COMIC BOOK ARTIST"
THIS BOOK IS ONE OF THE BEST ART BOOKS IVE EVER PURCHASED. ITS LAID OUT LIKE A COMIC BOOK, FULLY ILLUSTRATED, WITH CLEAR INSTRUCTIONAL DETAIL ON THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF DRAWING WITH PERSPECTIVE. WE FOLLOW DAVID AS HE TRIES TO PUT PERSPECTIVE IN LAYMANS TERMS FOR HIS PAL, AND FELLOW ARTIST, MUGG. MUGG IS THE COFFEE CUP FACED FELLOW SEEN FLYING THE PLANE ON THE COVER ABOVE. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT MAY BE ILLUSTRATORS THAT HAVE HAD TO STAY UP LONG HOURS DRAWING TO MEET A DEADLINE, WHICH I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS TIMES, YOU MAY HAVE FOUND THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE WITHOUT COFFEE. COFFEE IS EVERY ILLUSTRATORS BEST FRIEND ON THOSE LONG NIGHTS HUNCHED OVER THE DRAWING BOARD, SO DAVIDS FRIEND MUGG IS A BIG PLUS TO THE RADNESS OF THIS BOOK, AT LEAST THAT'S MY OPINION. ANYWAY, DAVID AND MUGG WALK US THROUGH A WONDERFULLY ILLUSTRATED WORLD OF PERSPECTIVE WHERE WE LEARN ABOUT DEPTH CUES, THE PICTURE PLANE, THE HORIZON AND VANISHING POINT, CUBES IN SPACE, ONE, TWO AND THREE POINT PERSPECTIVE, CIRCLES IN PERSPECTIVE, THE HUMAN FIGURE AND SHORTCUTS. IT MAY SEEM LIKE A LOT TO TAKE IN, AND IT IS, BUT IF YOU STICK WITH DAVID AND MUGG YOU WILL BE THE BETTER FOR IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A COMIC BOOK ARTIST TO BENEFIT FROM THIS BOOK. I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH "PERSPECTIVE!" HAS IMPROVED MY DRAWING AND INK SKILLS ALL AROUND. BUY THIS BOOK, STUDY IT AND STUDY IT AGAIN, AND THEN BUY "EXTREME PERSPECTIVE! FOR ARTIST" DAVIDS NEWEST BOOK TO HIT THE SHELVES.

MAIL TIME!
HERE IT IS! AFTER DEALING WITH PRINT SHOPS WHO ONLY KNOW HOW TO SILK SCREEN HORSES AND COWS ON SHIRTS, I FINALLY TOOK THIS PROJECT INTO MY OWN HANDS AND HIT THE PHOTO COPIERS. I COPIED AND MADE PRINTS AT THE HIGHEST QUALITY THAT MY LOCAL OFFICE SUPPLY STORE HAD TO OFFER. I THINK THEY TURNED OUT GREAT AND LOOK ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL ART. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE JUST PHOTO COPIES I SIGNED AND HAND NUMBERED THEM AS WELL. TODAY I MAILED OUT THE FIRST BATCH TO ALL THE FOLLOWERS WHO HAVE EMAILED ME THEIR ADDRESS ALREADY. ONCE AGAIN, IF YOU THINK YOU WERE ONE OF THE FIRST 27 FOLLOWERS, I NEED YOU TO EMAIL ME YOUR ADDRESS IF YOU WANT YOUR PRINT. THANK YOU ALL FOR FOLLOWING THE INKWELL CLUB BLOG. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS AND INVOLMENT IN THE FUTURE.
FRONT
BACK
THATS MY UGLY MUG ON THE FRONT AND THE BACK IS A MYSTERY OF SORTS. THE PRINTS ARE SAFELY TUCKED INTO 8-3/4" x 11" POLYETHYLENE BAGS AS SEEN BELOW.
YOU WILL NOTICE THERE IS A LIMITED TO 1/1 BLUE PHOTO COPIED PRINT. KEEP CHECKING IN TO SEE HOW YOU CAN WIN THIS.
OH, AND THIS IS WHAT MOLLY AND I MADE FOR BREAKFAST. HOMEMADE HEART SHAPED WAFFLES WITH CREAM CHEESE AND A HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SYRURP. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
