BLOG #34: MY LATEST ADVENTURES

Dude Blogs
 
AND NOW...PRESENTING...
 
THE DUDE'S AMAZING ADVENTURES
 
LET 'ER RIP!


 
****************************************************************
 
Hey all - this is actually Jaynelle writing this blog.  The Dude is otherwise occupied in his studio painting his latest masterpiece.  Speaking of which, we are in the process of redoing SteveRude.com and should have most of his latest fine art pieces up shortly.  He's been doing a ton of commissions lately and the list is once again open for commission sketches.
 
 AngelsANGELS
 
Steve has been working on this commission on and off for the past several years now.  It is 24" x 36" and done in oil on stretched canvas.  This is the piece that was used in it's rough state for the inside of the Artist in Motion book.

Steve finally finished it on August 15th, just in time to enter a contest for On Angels Magazine.  We'll find out on September 15th if he placed or not and will be sure to let everyone know!

GALLERY OPEN CALL - RHYTHM, MOVEMENT, OR MUSIC

The three pieces below were recently submitted to a local gallery for their open call.  We'll find out tomorrow if he made it or not.  We'll post on MySpace and Twitter when we find out!  (See sidebar for links)
 
Musician CharcoalMUSICIAN
 
Steve's been heading to the Lost Leaf in downtown Phoenix once a month for their monthly sketching session.  He's been working in charcoal for the events and the results have been fantastic.  Here's what Steve has to say about the piece...

"Drawn in the evening at a noisy bar atmosphere, I tried to present the "emotion of motion" where there was only stillness, as the model posed with his instrument."

Brianna Yoga PoseBRIANNA
 
"I veered wildly from the tranquil set-up I had for model and brought this piece into a more lyrical emotional range that I felt from inside."

 Oil on canvas board (high quality, not standard)
 FOR SALE






Tina TINA

"Tina was a 1-day job that I expanded on with slashes of color to simulate a larger emotional range than the model and backdrop gave me."

 Oil on canvas board (again, high quality)

SPACE OPERA TRADE PAPERBACK ON PRESALE NOW!
Space Opera TPB 
           With the opening of Ylum to all refugees, a new threat emerges: the intolerance of the Elvonics, the religion that cannot coexist with others.  Mighty Nexus, absorbed in the birth of his son Harry, cannot be everywhere at once and the defense of Ylum falls to Tyrone and his little band of plucky irregulars.
            Nexus' enemies choose this moment to launch an unfathomable attack on Harry, determined to erase the threat of any future Nexus.  As Jil, Gladys, and Sundra battle vicious assassins, Nexus goes to the center of the Web to plead Ylum's case before the League of Planets.  
            Old enemies and old friends appear.  Space Opera also introduces a startling new character to the Nexus universe, one who is sure to become a regular.  This self-contained series is an excellent introduction to the Nexus universe, and a fitting encore, for now.

ON DEMAND : CANVAS AND PRINTS
Nexus Spectrum Canvas Your favorite Rude images on demand!
We have been hooked up with POD Gallery for quite a few years.  They will do posters and watercolor prints on demand!  We  are sending more so keep checking back. 

If you are interested in a canvas print that you don't see online just let us know and we'll hook you up for the same price!

We had a canvas done and sent to the FX con and you can't tell the difference between it and a real oil painting.  It's on canvas so you have all the texture and grooves that are supposed to be there.  Fantastic!

Shown on the right is the Nexus Spectrum image that was the back cover to the original Nexus Origin from Dark Horse.
