Little Ballerina (Dot)

I met this little cutie-patootie during my time as resident artist for Sony (“Sony Artist in Residence, Dec. 15 & 16th) in NYC. I’d attempted to do little Dot’s portrait before, but was unable to get a good view of her in the Datavision store window. Thankfully, her mom friended me on Facebook.  She recently [...]

Flight

I Love Him So...

Been a While–Eh?

It’s been a year since I’ve posted a blog update–ashamed, yes–very. Seems life catches up with you, then grabs you by the feet and flies off with you and all of the sudden its a whole year later and you’re life is COMPLETELY different… Anyway, my last post was me going to the Sketchbook Creative [...]

So, ya probably heard by now–via Facebook, email, text, phone call…that I spent a good chunk of last week participating in Autodesk University’s Creative Studio Suite.  It’s a spin-off from the very successful mobile digital art gallery they launched at last year’s conference.

Self Portrait

Self portrait by MiaBia_DC This is painting I did with Adobe Ideas. A little ambitious, I know–as Adobe is a vector application and so blending is not the easiest thing in the world. This is probably the only time I ever used the MAXIMUM amount of layers (and ya know, I’m not the “layering type”…traditional [...]
