Kip's stuff

the Titanic musicians “I don’t suppose he waited to be sent for, but after finding how dangerous the situation was, he probably called his men together and began playing. I know that he [bandmaster Wallace Hartley] often said that music was a bigger weapon for stopping disorder than anything on earth. He knew the value of the weapon he had, and I think he proved his point.”

Randal Grichuk hits a 2-run home run - July 24, 2015

Let me tell you a story… A good 3 years ago I decided to do a portrait of the RMS Titanic in time for the centennial of the sinking. It all went well until I hit the brick wall that is painting the #@&%! ocean, so I shelved it. Still, I had a nice chunk of it finished, which I’ve posted on Deviant Art and here (repeatedly), and it even caught the interest of a friend, who happens to be a huge James Cameron fan. My painting methods improved over those 3 years, but even then I couldn’t bring myself to finishing it. That is until I finally figured out how to really use the brushes on Photoshop (some gentle nudging from friends helped too). And so here she is, three years off the mark, but done!
