another year, another rejection, more determined than ever!

So its that time of the year... its warm, its nice, summer is all over the place, you get to wear your shorts ... aaand you get rejected from the TAW.

Anyway, as people say, we learn more from our failures than from our wins, and from my last year's failure i learned that there is no point in wasting any time.  Therefore a couple of days after my rejection here I am more determined than ever. 

Although the future is a bit cloudy, I have great deal of plans ahead of me, so stay tuned and enjoy ;)

Apollo

So lately I am awfully busy with a bunch of exams and stuff, so I haven't got the time to do some painting... so here is a little come back of a Capsule returning to Earth. pretty fast, pretty loose, pretty fun to make :)) enjoy :)

warm up

so i did a little 1 hour study of Mark Molnar he has some pretty amazing studies and I really like how he handles them :))  so here it is:

first freelance job

So i finished my first freelance gig... and tell you the truth it feels pretty nice :)) it was just a few illustrations for a commercial, but still it was pretty cool working on something that is going to be used by a real company :) Long story short I got hired by AutoUncle to develop few illustrations  in order to introduce their cool new service(Vurder din brugte bil) to the people :)) enough talking... here is the finished video :)) enjoy :]

hello world :)

AutoHotKey

So I just wanted to share this little thing. The other day I bumped into a post aiming to help people be more efficient while working.

Long story short: how to use the NumPad(you know the small keyboard on the side) in combination with a program called AutoHotKey(AHK) in order to be able to use the NumPad for whatever Photoshop shortcuts you need. I'll just say I just set it up and it its quite awesome. You have to try it out!

The only problem is that it is a bit too technical, so in order to help you guys HERE is my KeySetUp file .... all you need to do is copy it into your Script file and you are ready to go :))
