A sample of what I hopefully will be doing more of. Though hardly a representation of everything I do, so check out the gallery, won't you?

I'm listening to my newest purchase on iTunes. Two Steps From Hell's "Invincible" for Digital Media Production for my trailer recut assignment. Getting into the mood. No, I will not be using "Freedom Fighters" for the recut. That would be too predictable.

My YouTube channel is here: [link]

You know, in case you want to see what I come up with for my final.

Ryan Martinez
Artist

United States

As a freelance artist I create illustrations and web graphics for clients big and small. My tools are a mechanical pencil, markers, paper, scanner, Photoshop and digital tablet.

My deviantART page is a design showcase and a place to show my fanart or other projects. Here you will find experiments in color, composition and subject. The mediums include digital design, photography and pencil+marker+paper.

*********

My favorite subject (apparently) is computer graphics. Icons, desktop pictures (what non-Mac users call "wallpaper"), concept interfaces, etc. Icons and desktops are especially satisfying to make. My heroes in this subject are the guys at iconfactory.com and Arlo Rose of Kaleidoscope and Apple fame. I also draw/sketch characters. Mostly pinups and character sheets. Though it is my goal to get better at drawing comic book type art. Painting has an appeal, though I've never had the opportunity to explore that due to space and time constraints. If I had the resources I'd probably be making art 24/7. My current artist faves on dA are the guys at UDON and various comic artists here and there.

Hey- caught a comment you left on a recent article comparing OSX to Ubuntu. I really do think, just like with people comparing to Windows, you kinda' miss the point if you're just saying, "it isn't OS X yet." Ubuntu isn't supposed to be, and people should give credit where credit is due.

But yeah, liked your comments, and you have some fantastic artwork- totally devWATCHing you.

~The-Penciler May 25, 2010

If I remember correctly, I think my point wasn't that Ubuntu is the new OS X or comparing it to Mac OS X or earlier, but that only the community feeling was the same. The same energy that the early pre-Mac OS 9/X community had is what the Ubuntu community has now. Being an early Mac addict myself the friendliness, helpfulness, evangelism and just overall "come on in" spirit is what feels the same. The Ubuntu community has now what the Mac user community had back then (unlike now where OS X is treated like another Windows, a commodity; so there's no real genuine product loyalty). And it just has me excited for where Ubuntu is going. It's like the metaphor of getting to see where the native Americans would have gone if not for foreign interference. A virtual do-over for some people who felt disenfranchised by Steve Jobs' return to Apple. Which is why so many old timer Mac users are drawn to Ubuntu.

You know, I'm starting to realize what made OS X so big back then. Kinda' wish I'd never used anything but OS X and Ubuntu, to be honest. I really wouldn't mind.

You gave a good example of how I feel about open source with the Native American comparison. I have strong lineage there, and I have strong philosophical views tied to my politics, so despite the fact that I use Ubuntu because it's the best thing for the job, it's also beautiful to me in an ideological way.
