Welcome to my Wraith Blaahhhg, haha!

   OK, this is where I spew my art works and words of wisdom upon you, better get an umbrella, raincoat, and a couple rolls of visqueen, maybe a pair of galoshes while you are at it, and don't track that smelly stuff into the house!

I'll also be giving you my art pointers and pipeline that I personally do when completing a project.
First off, I never went to art school for my art, I'm basically self-taught in everything I do.  So if it doesn't jibe with the corporately-taught way of doing things, oh well...  there are a few ways to skin the cat should we say and this is my way.

I may also rant on how artists are treated professionally on occasion, especially when that artist is me, or friends of mine.

Living in beautiful Pompano Beach, Florida I am close to the main hubs of the Southeastern Art World and there comes a stinketh from below. We will get to that later.

On an up-note, I just joined Directory of Illustration and I have them to thank for starting this blog (or Blahg as I like to put it). I'll let you know how that goes as well, maybe I'll get some work, maybe I'll chase people away, who knows, its all in fun and what else am I going to do, toilet paper the palm trees?

Ok, I leave you with this image and a random thought for the day...

What's going on Underneath...

  Telior - Monsterlings Budling King At Home with Telior. ©2017 Copyright, Joseph A. Wraith Underneath Studios   So I'm locked up in work mode and haven't had a lot of time for my own creativity.  Which is kind of a bummer because I have so much I want to do and need to do for the Monsterling series, as well as the Grossters, I would also add the Outside Earth Series, but I had a bit of a unfortunate event happen to all my files on the Outside Earth series and I may have to rebuild it all from scratch. Not cool. So I'll put that one on a shelf for now with an idea of upgrading the series to something better and possibly pick it back up in another life.   Anyway, onward and upward... My next animation test for Monsterlings will be the Run and Jump scene of Telior running and jumping on to his Bee friend from his treehouse's steps.   This part will be difficult for me because I'm not at all sure how I'm going to do it yet.  I mean, I kn

Tormund Giantsbane GOT Illustration ©2017 Copyright, Joseph A. Wraith      Well it's been a long horrible month, from weather storms to media storms.   Nope, don't like it, not one bit.  Today I deactivated my Facebook account.  I realized I spend far too much time soaking up the negativity from that ridiculous forum, and I get nothing from it in return, but anger and a headache from all the boundless stupidity and idiocracy flailing from everything from Bad Ads to Real and Fake News, and lets not forget about the Comments that follow it all... everyone has an opinion and must vent it.  They should rename it HateBook.  I mean I follow mostly artist pages and it's becoming a big political/race driven mess. Someone puts a piece of art up and no one can just enjoy it without adding something negative, or political about it even if the art is innocuous. It doesn't really seem to matter what I remove as far as...   ... you know what?  Forget about

Monsterlings -At Home with Telior 2017 Copyright, Joseph A. Wraith     Hey, so I just completed another Monsterlings piece and I'm loving where this is going, but to be honest it's a little scary seeing all of this come together like it has.   Everyday I work on a new part of the project and I get closer to the goal of seeing it completed, but like with anything else, one step forward can be two steps back. The more I create the more I see that needs to be created, it can be exhausting.     I get sucked into creative mode trying to figure out all the parts for past, present and future, and when I try and look back on what's already done I notice I have very little completed, except for some small parts to a larger puzzle... there is literally hundreds of parts and pieces to this that still need creation and assembly, I am most definitely building a full on world within a world. I must have patience and take my time so each piece is as good, if not better than t
