About The BoOgEyMaN (Gary Grossman)

So, Here I am. And yes, you want me. (to work for you)

HERE is my resume. Take a peek. Or just scroll down further.

Take a Tour of My "Studio"

I've been doing art as far back as I can remember. Which puts it at about..... well a REALLY long time. Check out my creds. I'm awesome. (or so I've been told)

CURRENT PROJECTS -

Im currently working on Issue 9 of Zenon - The comic I've been drawing for gods knows how long. I am also making whipoorwills and kits to build your own, and in February I will be working on one of the best pieces of art ever, my first daughter. I've opened up my home for a large group of artists to come host, attend and teach workshops pertaining to each of their unique set of skills. Wanna Learn more about that stuff? --- > GO HERE.

So I've had some schooling.

Doherty High School	DIPLOMA - Focused on Photography, Ceramics, Drawing
Art Institute of Denver	1 Year Digital Animation
Pikes Peak Community College	4 Semesters Ceramics, 2 semesters Raku, 4 Semesters Drawing, 1 semester figure drawing, 2 semesters Adobe Photoshop, 3 semesters Illustration, 2 semesters welding

I've also been doing some other stuff on the side

Web Development/Desgin	I've developed not only this site but as well as my parent's buisness website. Which can be seen HERE.
Sculpting	I've been sculpting for well over ten years, and have learned from many a good people on proportioning, scale and detail.
Photography	I've been shooting for well over ten years. Mostly self taught and digital, but I've been told I have an eye for it. If you'd like to see MORE of my work (the work I cannot post due to contractual failure)please e-mail me and I'll be more than happy to send you a FULL portfolio of work.
Drawing/Illustration	27 years. Over the years I've learned from not only my friends but a great many professional Instructors. I'd name names, but that may take up far too much space. So in confidence, I would say I can draw anything in a given amount of time and not only myself, but my clients have been pleased.
Textile Printing/painting	I was painting shirts before I was even out of high school. I have at this point made the process much easier and can pretty much reproduce anything I see, on to a shirt.
Glasswork	A new frontier my mother introduced me into. I've only been doing glass work for roughly a year, and after much experimenting I feel confident enough to say that this can be added to my list of things I can do well.
Culinary Arts	I love cooking. I've only been experimenting with food for a little over 9 years, but my gods, i can make some tasty treats. Take a look at the MOTHMA page for some sweet recipies.
Photoshop	Yet another section of the Gallery I will be adding soon, I've been messing with Photoshop for about 6 or 7 years. Not only have I been teaching myself, but I did take some classes to help me muddle through the basics and get on to experimenting on my own.
Vast Knowledge of useless movie trivia and facts	I do love me some movies. Especially some Horror movies. Old ones, new ones (cept for most remakes, call me a pureist) I can watch and enjoy. Lots of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Animated films, shorts, Independant stuff, I like quite a bit of stuff. One of my favortie things to do is "MST3K" or "Rifftrax" a film while me and several other Film buffs watch it. It can be QUITE entertaining. And I may actually upload some "dubbed" films of my own at somepoint. Gimmie a shout if you're ever in town and feel like completely WASTING a saturday night.
