I guess I should tell you guys about myself. Well, I am from Arizona and I love it. No earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards, or sinkholes. But lets move on.
I am going to college to become a graphic designer, but a couple of years ago I took a liking to the traditional arts. It all started when I was taking 2D design and I was having a tough time thinking of what to paint or draw. Since the class was every other day I had time to ride my bike around town, so one day I decided to go to Goodwill to find some cassette tapes (i know, but I have a sweet stereo setup). I was walking through the aisles when I found a bag of Pokemon cards. Than it hit me; I could paint these! So, for my first project in the class I did a Pokemon color wheel. The class loved it and the teacher got a kick out of it. For the rest of that semester all my projects were Pokemon themed.
That summer I was really board so I got into ponies. People always ask how I got into them and I tell them that is was a Youtube poop. But I had a large piece of thick poster board leftover from 2D class, so I decided to paint a pony poster. At the time I had just finished reading Molestia and decided to paint a poster of her. I had a poster of Celestia in my room in the style of the Obama "Hope" poster, so I decide to do it in that style. Several weeks later I was done with it, but I had the desire to paint another pony poster. It was Octavia. Back when I first started making my posters they were all freehand, until I found a new way to make the lines look really crisp.
I would have to say my biggest thrill was giving one of my poster to Lauren Faust at Bronycon. I used special gold paint and even wrote her a letter. Her reaction made me smile when she saw it, she simply said "It has battle armor!"
So it has been three years and 50 posters later and I am far from stopping. Lately I have taken a break from ponies and have gotten back to painting Pokemon posters.

If you have any suggestions, just send me a note.

Thanks Jordan G
