Hello everyone! This is my art channel which I started back in 2006. The first videos were rocky, but I strive to continually improve the content and quality of my videos. Aside from the normal tutorials and speedpaintings, I'm hoping to provide different unique videos that offer people other ways to indulge in their love for art and all things creative. Let's all improve together!

In this lecture, we go over the basics of what design economy is and hopefully heighten your awareness on how to critique your silhouette complexity. THERE WAS a much longer cut of the audio that included a 10 minute ramble on non-art financial stuff, but I have mercifully cut that part out and included it in a separate unlisted video that you can watch here if you're interested
