What a busy four months! It took a lot of work to prepare for Comic-Con and I would like to thank everyone for their feedback.  It was a very successful debut show for me.  I’d like to especially thank those who purchased my artwork.

    Comic-Con or Bust! (July 21-24, 2011)

    Posted on July 21, 2011 by DigitalDragan

    I know it’s officially summer when Comic-Con arrives in sunny San Diego. Perfect weather here! There’s been no time for posts this month. I’ve been busy with a variety of projects at home and at the office.

    I’ll be exhibiting four pieces at the art show.

    Movie Recommendations vs. Movie Reviews

    Posted on June 19, 2011 by DigitalDragan

    I use to write movie reviews until I realized they actually ruined my movie watching experience no matter how good or bad the movie was.

    While I was watching a movie, I would analyze the plot, critique the dialog and curse the CGI.  Also coupled with the burden of trying to find something funny or witty to spice up my reviews while I was watching a movie, I could no longer enjoy a movie as a film buff.  My suspension of disbelief was circumvented by too much my thought, so I decided “movie recommendations” were the way to go.

    Quite simply, a yay or nay with some added commentary, but without over analyzing my movie watching experience.  If you share my taste in movies, my recommendations are for you!  Check back often to discover some screen gems worth watching.
