'ninety-nine' returns...

For those of you wondering where my series 'ninety-nine' went, well it's back up after briefly being MIA.

'ninety-nine' is a series of digital paintings that were done at the end of last year; if you would like to know more about them, check out the links to the right of this page-I hope you all enjoy them.

And for my next piece of artwork in the 'EPIC Series' - you only have to wait until Monday; I am not quite sure exactly which one I will decide to give you next but I am sure you will enjoy the surprise.

Thanx again for all of your support and have fun reliving 'ninety-nine' again.

"ninety-nine" (#99 - the last one)

Thank you all for joining me on this little adventure in artwork; it's been exciting for me in more ways than one.  I hope you continue to enjoy this artwork for a long time, it will definitely have a special place in my heart forever.  Well, I suppose I shouldn't go on for too long...at first I wanted to give you a stunning blog to end this in a big way; an exclamation point on "ninety-nine" but although the artwork is done, "ninety-nine" is far from over so without any further unneeded pomp and circumstance, here it is...the last of "ninety-nine" -

Thank you all for viewing and I love you very much...but especially I have only one person to thank for the best kind of inspiration that this artist has ever received; just a little bit of hate; thanx beautiful.

"ninety-nine" (1st of the last 2)

This is it...only one more after this and I have done it.  99 digital paintings in about 6 weeks; all of them with purpose and all of them probably means much more to me now than I ever thought they might at the beginning of "ninety-nine".  I am grateful  for everyone who helped to make this a success...to date this has been the largest series with the smallest release audience (only 2 advertising release sites because of how quickly I put it out) with the largest reception; 20 different countries...pretty cool.

Thank you all but a special thanx goes to this one girl (whose name is not Jamie) that happened to be the reason I did these in the first place.  Thank you beautiful.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/26)

The one single thing that is important to me is that I get this right; I'm not quite sure yet if I am but I really want to do my best...it really is the single most important thing for more reasons than I can count.  I hope I get it right...

"ninety-nine" (#1 of 2 for 10/26)

There are only a couple more days left of new releases from "ninety-nine" and I genuinely hope you have enjoyed these pieces of artwork; here is the next in the series...I don't quite know why but I really like this one personally...maybe because it just says everything in green...

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/25)

To me, it's pretty cool to be able to give you this artwork; I know everyone who has looked at the series so far has gotten some kind of enjoyment from it and that makes me very happy.  It's funny how one simple word; a little hate and a sleepless night spawned all of this.  This is my largest ever series of artwork and looking back on it, it's staggering for me to think about all of the things that went into creating it and putting it out for you.  I don't think there is ever any way for me to out do it but then I am reminded of the feeling I had when I did each individual piece and I think to myself; if a little feeling could push me to do all of this, then I just can't wait to see what else is possible.  The greatest part of it all is there is only one person to thank for it...and I wouldn't know how to begin to say thank you but hopefully, I have many chances in the future to...that would make me one pretty lucky guy if you ask me. (just sayin')

Thank you again...

"ninety-nine" (#1 - 10/25)

"ninety-nine" has been an adventure that I wasn't expecting and although I am not quite ready for it to end, it will very soon.  I have enjoyed the moments more than I could ever explain right now but if you were to take anything from this series so far, it should be that:

If there's something you set out to do, as long as you put your whole heart into it, it will end up being everything you wanted it to be.  Every piece isn't perfect and some of them might not look right to you but look at them all; look at all 99 together and then you will see that a bunch of slightly imperfect pieces of the same thing make for something pretty impressive.  To think that less than two months ago I decided on a whim to start this instead of my very well planned out "Something Bigger Series" and now, having almost completed "ninety-nine" all I can think about is how I could ever top that?  I just hope everyone liked a few of them and it gave someone a little smile when I put a new one up.  It's rare that I get more out of a series than the people who end up with them hanging on their wall but let me assure you, this time I have.

-I just have a few more to release so please be patient and keep checking back-thank you.

me.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/24)

I have been fortunate to meet some pretty amazing people over the years but now my definition of amazing has been rewritten.

"ninety-nine" (#1 - 10/24)

I am still the same person I have always been.

"ninety-nine" (only 1 for today)

The fact of the matter is that now I don't have to thunk so hard anymore.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/22)

Although the artwork I do is pretty good, some words and a few lines could never accurately capture the real beauty I see.

"ninety-nine" (#1 - 10/22)

There might be some confusion about my intentions; just to be clear, it is my intention to be there every moment I can.

"ninety-nine" (#3 - 10/21)

I can be afraid of what might happen or I can enjoy the moments that I am lucky enough to have.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/21)

Because beyond everything, there is so much more.

"ninety-nine" (#1 - 10/21)

I can only declare that when my eyes are upon you, I am instantly reminded of the definition of beautiful.

"ninety-nine" (#3 - 10/20)

There is always a way.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/20)

There's no substitution for good, old fashioned, stupidity. 

"ninety-nine" (#1 - 10/20)

I am not convinced anyone really understands just how completely lovely one person can be...

"ninety-nine" (#3 - 10/19)

As I am creating this artwork, it's impossible for me not to think about how amazingly great it is to be inspired by someone more incredible than I know I am.

"ninety-nine" (#2 - 10/19)

I have never been afraid of writing what needs to be written; my fear is knowing someone might understand what I was trying to say.
