So. The new ICON Studios site is up and it may be viewed at http://www.iconstudios.org Since the last time I wrote anything here, a lot has changed. First of all, my stepson and I release an occasional horror podcast. It's available on iTunes here: http://bit.ly/g7HwGH While we've published a "Publisher's Book" for the M.O.P.S. project in the last months since I've written a blog, we really need to return to The Think Tank's little monster's and give them an attitude overhaul. While I believe the project was a success, as it's creator, I don't think it achieved the levels of violence it needed and I think the humor was too brisk. My partne

So... I live in a miserable little community that my wife, kids and I are desperately trying to get away from. It's a small town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We hate it here. I cannot find ANY work as an artist and designer. Most would look at that last sentence and say, "Well, just get any other job until you can find what you're looking for." Right. great advice, and I'd follow it, too. Yet there's an unforeseen problem with that. Number one, Michigan has the current lowest employment rate in the country. The Upper Peninsula isn't even really acknowledged by the lower portion of the state, so there really isn't any work here at all. If y

Thanks for the watch.
Hey Heath my name is Kristoffer Stout. I work in Baton Rouge at Firebrand studios. I checked your work out and it looks great. I would love to see some background work and some various styles of your pencils. Love your work!
Hey Kristoffer!

(I apologize for not getting back to you sooner than this, but I'm hardly ever on this site)

Anyway, I shot a portfolio over to you guys a few days ago. You can download it at:

If you'd like quicker responses, hit me up at heath@iconstudios.org , redpro1@gmail.com or [link]

Thanks again!

Hey Heath thanks for the watch
Thanks for the watchering, Heath! Excellent gallery, sir! I'll be emailing you about that stuff soon. :meditate:

Take care,

Hey bro! Glad to see you deviated!
I've actually been on deviant art since about 2001. I would just lurk and trade brush and texture resources. The thing is, while Patrick and I were working on the re-design of the ICON site, we didn't want to include unnecessary pages. Like: My Portfolio.

Especially when there are perfectly good alternate sites out there [like this one] for me to shop my skills and not have all of my family members coming in to say how wonderful I am.

Know what i mean?

Talk to you soon.

P.S. I started on some of the Darkness samples you had. I'll send you hi-res shots when I'm done.
