"Original Monsters" Sketch Card Set 1

This is the first set of 6 hand-drawn sketch cards based on original concepts of monsters not from existing ideas but from my imagination and based on my own fears. The stuff I'm afraid will be around the corner at night.

They are available to purchase individually or as a collection and there will be many more to come. Horror fans, I hope you dig 'em!

If interested in collecting these, please email me raydillonggs@gmail.com and make an offer for 1 or all of this set and/or future sets to come.

Thank you for checking them out. I'd love to hear your feedback!

Will Smith Wisdom

One of my favorite inspirational/motivational videos ever. Such great advice!



QUOTES:

"Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity."

"Its unrealistic to flip a switch and a light comes on. Fortunately Edison didn't believe that. Its unrealistic to make a hollow metal tube and fly people over the ocean in it. The Wright brothers didn't think so."

"We grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn't matter, because we were becoming something greater."

ARTISTS: Todd McFarlane Bio DVD - HUGE inspiration!

Are you a struggling artists fighting to make something big happen with your life and art? Do you have a family to take care of? Are you a Todd McFarlane / Spawn fan? Do you just like biography DVD's? You gotta see add this to your collection! I've watched this DVD somewhere between 1 Million and 1 Billion times and it STILL keeps me highly motivated and inspired to keep goin!

Hearing him and his wife tell the stories of when they lived in a trailer, he was working two jobs, and staying up all night at the table. Him sending in 40 submission packets a month before finally getting picked up, and the rise to fame and success. Seeing the roots will be an invaluable asset to anyone struggling to make it!

And seeing how his constant drive and attitude propelled him to success is a big lesson, too. He worked mopping floors, and by cracky, he was the fastest floor mopper ever! Turned it into a challenge!

You also get to see the quirky side and the family side of Todd McFarlane.

It's a fantastic, motivational story and a really well-made DVD. Get this, take the inspiration, and make things happen in your own life! And, please, share the link: http://bit.ly/aRAakO

VIDEO: Really Short LEGO STAR WARS Stop-Motion Animation w/ my Son!

I was attempting to teach my son, Tycen (7), how to make stop-motion animation with his toys. Super short and silly, but I think he got the idea and we had a lot of fun! Made in, like, 10 minutes, so...

Made with my Blerkberry Dumbphone, FrameByFrame, and iMovie.

We don't own Lego or Star Wars ... you probably needed to know that.

We do, however, own AWESOME!

Conan O'Brien's final words!

Motivational and moving! He really surprised me with his poignancy and sincerity. Powerful, positive speech! Loved it!

I'm in this amazing movie trailer!

Oh, this movie... what a ... movie.

Worked on this years ago. At :36 sec you can see side of my head. And the ibook is mine. Me and my iBook are famous in this famous movie that you've all heard of.

Want my autograph? Gimme dollar
